Creator's Key Takeaways

MSC Meraviglia was the first cruise ship I ever sailed on. It was a total blast, and so I have a tradition of sailing on her every year.

I'm excited to see what changes they've made to the purpose build area they've really been working on um tyo Bay and stuff.

Porta Plata was a very nice uh I guess Port SL day um I didn't spend a whole lot of time out there just a few hours but uh it was nice to see the updates to the port.

I found a bench and that's about it so then got back on board obviously uh had several drinks and hung out with people and had some food.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you don't have a drink package, consider having a drink at the port bars.
Arrive early at the pool deck to find a lounger, especially on crowded days.
