Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our second time sailing with MSC. This time we're on a bigger ship.

Food was one of my biggest concerns coming into this cruise. If you've seen our Magnifica series, you know why.

Walking into the buffet area on the Meira, totally different vibe. It was clean, well organized, and the variety looked more promising.

This pizza right here, this is the best pizza I see. MSC's delivery pizza. It is so good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase the MSC Fun Pass after boarding to get bonus credits for amusement activities.
Book shows and dining early to avoid last-minute hassles.
Consider room service pizza instead of the buffet for better quality.

Our last experience on MSC left us with a few concerns (especially the food), so we were curious to see if things had improved. In this vlog, we take you through our full boarding day: from the long check-in process to our first impressions of the buffet, navigating the awkward muster drill, exploring the Sportplex, and wandering through the ship’s massive shopping area. Oh—and we share a tip on when to buy the Fun Pass for the best value. 🎥 What you’ll see: Honest first-day experience on MSC Meraviglia Food worries after our last cruise—was it better?
