MSC Meraviglia-The Good, Bad & Beautiful

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a balanced review of the MSC Meraviglia, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the experience. They describe the ship as a beautiful and stylish vessel that benefits from being relatively new following a dry dock. A major highlight is the crew, whom they characterize as friendly, engaging, and eager to serve. Additionally, the creators emphasize the competitive value offered by MSC, noting that bundled packages and the lack of a single supplement for solo travelers can make it significantly more affordable than competitors like Royal Caribbean. However, the review also identifies several areas for improvement. The creators report systemic issues regarding management and communication, specifically citing prolonged boarding times and an inaccurate mobile app. They also express disappointment regarding the limited number of included dining venues. While the ship offers many high quality specialty restaurants, most require an upcharge, leaving only the buffet and main dining rooms as free options. Despite these grievances, the creators conclude that the positives outweigh the negatives and they would cruise with MSC again due to the aesthetic appeal and cost savings.
