Creator's Key Takeaways

the maravia was built in 2017 and was last dry docked in April of 2022 that makes her newer than many of the ships based in the United States

the crew they were always very friendly engaging and eager to serve our cabin Steward kept our place spotless and jumped on our every request

the most glaring example was our prolonged boarding time it took over three hours to board the maravia

the maravia has only two dining venues that are included in your fair the buffet and the main dining rooms
