Love you guys and love these reviews!!!! I just found your TH-cam channel and I have subscribed. I noticed that "Fiber Harbor" in one of your other videos when you panned the menu and I was on the floor laughing.... I guess I'm not the only one......
Thanks Dee and Jay for another great video. Your channel is one of my favorites. I watch everyday. I really like how you all do a detailed tour of the ship and excursions. Dee, I loved the packing demonstration, it gave me a lot of new ideas.
We were on Meraviglia in February to March when you were on there. We were just on there again last week. They must have heard your suggestions. There were hardly any bar lines and they had waiters/waitresses everywhere around the pool and the bars. It was so much better. The buffet food still stinks. Keep up the great work. Love the positivity and the constructive criticisms.
Yes. I was on the MSC Meraviglia in October 2022 and had the same experience you had except our cabin steward was amazing and accommodating. The food was not good, rude staff, it took 5 hours to embark ugh….. Hopefully, they get it together because it is a beautiful ship.
We just got off Meraviglia a few days ago. We had been woried after seeing so many mixed and bad reviews of the ship. But we had a great time. The food in the MDR and the specialty restaurants was great (somethings inthe MDR could have been warmer but it wasn't that big a deal.) The service was very good especially our MDR waiters and one of the waiters in the TV lounge. It wasn't perfect by any means. I thought some of the things on their private island were mismanaged but all in all we were pleasantly surprised.
You are at least the 4th vloggers I’ve watched say the very same thing about this ship’s beauty, rude crew and subpar service. As one who does not have the ability to travel whenever I want due to a standard work schedule, I just can’t see wasting my limited time on it. Perhaps one day when a week won’t matter but not today.
How cool to catch your unpacking, carry-on edition Dee! Wow, I’m shocked how much you disliked that shower bath! I think it would be perfect for a family with littles for the bath part. Good to have your feedback!!❤
Just been on my 6th MSC cruise on the MSC Virtuosa and have to say the service has been the best so far. My last cruise on the Mervariglia, service was probably the worse on all my MSC cruises. You would think it would be more consistent but obviously not. Great vlog guys looking forward to your yatch club videos tempted to try
Hey guys! Love the videos on your take on the Meraviglia considering she will be coming up to New York for full time next month. Hopefully, they get their act together as New York is a rough crowed to please. Lol!
We've been on the Seaside, Seashore and the Meraviglia....and Meraviglia is our favorite as well. We were on her last March and only had probably like 1800 guests.
Wow… Impressed with the mozzarella bar… We were just on the Meraveglia in January… We must've missed that day… Although I remember going for lunch every day at the Buffet ... looks delicious… Thanks for sharing your experiences🚢
Will be on this ship out of NY in May. Looking forward to seeing this beautiful ship and let’s hope the crew gets their act together before the New Yorkers get onboard.😅😅
Oh no! Poor Jay in the tub! My family would struggle, since we are all as tall and you two! Hopefully the water flow and shower height is better in the Yacht Club! Have fun on the next leg! 🎉🎉
Hey Guys Thanks for another great video. You do a Great job. very entertaining. We are heading on a 4 day cruise on Meraviglia Sunday. We have been saving for trying the Yatch Club. So, we hope it goes well. Thanks again. 🙃
Thank you for the vlog. I just ordered the jewelry bag and some other items via your Amazon website. I know you have an upcoming HAL cruise. The last time we were on they had stroopwafel at the Grand Dutch bakery. I had one dipped in chocolate, WOW!!!😊
They had lemon ice cream when I was on board and it was the best I’ve ever had! Sorbet and icecream mix with lemon soooo goood and creamy ! 😢 was sad didn’t discover it till late in my cruise!
You mentioned the funny chairs. The whole ship reminds me of Joe Farcus on heavy sedation. I mean that in a good way. And yes Ossobuco was my favorite meal.
I would love to see more patching and unpacking videos. While I’m not too bad packing for myself, packing for my husband is a chore!! And there is no way he can pack for himself, the clothes would be a rumpled mess. 😢
Meraviglia sails out of NYC, which is the most convenient cruise port for me. However, given the recent reviews, including yours, I will not book with MSC until there is some improvement. I would rather spend more on other lines for a better experience.
How do you deal with laundry on a back to back? Do you opt for laundry service? Or do laundry at a hotel or home (Not sure if you live close by). Now on to the Yacht Club!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Love you guys!!!
For this trip, we packed for 7+ days and didn't need to do laundry onboard this ship. We went to Carnival Paradise after this, where we have free laundry service, and did our laundry there!! :D
Dee. I have those London Fog luggage, the identical ones..i have the big daddy, the carry on and the the “under seat” which holds a lot. Aren’t those 360 wheels best…so sturdy🚢😊
I use disposable shower caps from the dollar store to cover the the soles of my shoes, that way you don't get your clothes dirty from the bottom of your shoes
We are heading on a cruise of the Meraviglia in 2 weeks in a cabin two floors down from the cabin you are in. Were the beds as hard as I've been hearing? We are thinking of bringing a mattress topper with us and leaving it when we disembark.
Logistics question: do you pack extra clothes and leave them in the car for the back to back/side by sides? I don't see repeat outfits between cruises.
Nope not sure if you saw at the end of this video but I actually do a small talk on unpacking and what I brought. It's all about strategic packing. Mix and match clothes. Lighter material etc..
@@traceymccoyKC it depends have full you stuff it. Also they have 2 sizes. It fit under some seats and others it had to go in the overhead bin. So not a solid answer sorry.
We have a direct link in the description of each video, plus if you hit our main homepage and go to the green shopping cart button, it's linked there as well. As long as you don't have pop-up blockers installed, it should load properly, but we've been told that pop-up blockers kill it and you won't see any products!! :P
I have to say that I was surprised that you really liked the cruise director because he seemed borderline rude and condescending in your videos to me. Glad you were able to have a good cruise and I hope your future ones are much better!
I think we were referring specifically to his hypnotist show, as we really only saw him introducing the main production shows otherwise. He did have that sort of dry humor from "across the pond" ha ha... but in sort of a deadpan delivery overall!! :P
Just pulled it up and it looks good on this end. If you have any sort of pop-up blockers enabled, it will break the links though, so we've been told. Not sure of anything else that would cause it to break though!! www.parodeejay.com/amazon/
Do you think that cruise ships are understaffed because they can’t find crew to work? Or do you think they are cheaping out and don’t want to pay for the help they need?
I see the hypnotist show was not within COVID guidelines. Leaning and touching others. Ughh🤮🤢 What is the trick to guessing the sock of the day? Lol. I've been right one time in 5 months. Lol. The sock may not have anything to do with that specific day..lol. We love it, and thanks for sharing
You guys are always positive and truthful. That is really appreciated. Loved unpacking with Dee…I’m heading you guys Amazon store now.
Love the morning drops...great way to start the day! :)

Absolutely loving the Unpacking with Dee segment!

21:43 “But I’m borderline too cheesy!!” 😂😂😂
Great line, Jay. Hubby and I enjoy your humor very much.

I have that tote and love it. I will definitely have to look into those packing cubes.
You sold me on that jewelry case!! I’ve needed something less bulky that can fit bangle bracelets in it. Thanks for the recommendation 😊
You guys are such positive fun people :)

love me end of the video showing all your packing equipment,and I do love the MSC meraviglia is my favorite ship on MSC
Love Dee's packing tips! Going to check out that jewelry holder!
You to make me happy even when I have tough times❤

My first thought seeing all that fresh mozzarella was thank goodness for the fiber harbor. I had a great laugh when you confirmed it!

The walk way ceiling is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Will definitely consider this cruise line in the future.
Happy sailing!
Great packing tips!
Thanks!👍🏽👍🏽
Dee can sing!!! wow was so good
Dee you have me wanting to get packing cubes. BTW, I’m a size 11 too 😀
Jay should do karaoke more often. I know he didn't sing in this video, but when he does, he's great!
I have had arancini that had peas, marinara and seasoned beef or sausage in the center along with cheese.
Ooooh, interesting! I'm fascinated by the concept of different types of arancini now!! :D ~Jay
Oh no! Poor Jay in the tub! My family would struggle, since we are all as tall and you two! Hopefully the water flow and shower height is better in the Yacht Club! Have fun on the next leg! 🎉🎉
That jewelry organizer is the bomb!
Hey Guys
Thanks for another great video. You do a Great job. very entertaining. We are heading on a 4 day cruise on Meraviglia Sunday. We have been saving for trying the Yatch Club. So, we hope it goes well. Thanks again.
🙃

I was on a 4 night on Meraviglia and went to both Circus shows! They were both great, I hope you go on the next part of your week long!
We hit them both on the next segment, yes indeed!! :D
They had lemon ice cream when I was on board and it was the best I’ve ever had! Sorbet and icecream mix with lemon soooo goood and creamy ! 😢 was sad didn’t discover it till late in my cruise!
You mentioned the funny chairs. The whole ship reminds me of Joe Farcus on heavy sedation. I mean that in a good way. And yes Ossobuco was my favorite meal.
Love the ship! Dishing the dish.... Your food choices always look so good! I really enjoy the open promenade... Dee, was that a carry-on suitcase???
We did carry-on for this trip, yes indeed!! :D
Ding dong good morning Jay and dee :) I have been waiting for today's video to be uploaded 🎉
I would love to see more patching and unpacking videos. While I’m not too bad packing for myself, packing for my husband is a chore!! And there is no way he can pack for himself, the clothes would be a rumpled mess. 😢
Good morning ! We haven’t cruised on MSC but I think we are going to try them it looks like a beautiful ship. Thinks for showing us the ship.
Meraviglia sails out of NYC, which is the most convenient cruise port for me. However, given the recent reviews, including yours, I will not book with MSC until there is some improvement. I would rather spend more on other lines for a better experience.
Good Morning Jay and Dee ❤🌞🌞🌞🌞😎😎😎
Cheese and ice cream....count me in!! 😂😂
You are giving that buffet situation to much grace……
Chris the CD and Hypnotist is my friend. From same part of uk 🇬🇧 as me. The North West
I bought the weekender bag, that jewelry bag looks like my next purchase!

@@parodeejay Ah ha the key to this is cruise hopping.....I'll live vicariously through you two.
Same experience i had. Customer service was inconsistent and quite a few of the crew members were rude.
Dee. I have those London Fog luggage, the identical ones..i have the big daddy, the carry on and the the “under seat” which holds a lot. Aren’t those 360 wheels best…so sturdy🚢😊
Thanks for sharing,what you travel with
We saw Dee get hypnotized, Jay it's your turn.
I use disposable shower caps from the dollar store to cover the the soles of my shoes, that way you don't get your clothes dirty from the bottom of your shoes
Aha, that's a good trick for shoes packed in with the rest of your clothes, yes!! :D
We are heading on a cruise of the Meraviglia in 2 weeks in a cabin two floors down from the cabin you are in. Were the beds as hard as I've been hearing? We are thinking of bringing a mattress topper with us and leaving it when we disembark.
We don't recall having any issues with the beds, but they can vary from cabin to cabin. You just never know!!
Go Dee on the karaoke!!!!!
Logistics question: do you pack extra clothes and leave them in the car for the back to back/side by sides? I don't see repeat outfits between cruises.
Nope not sure if you saw at the end of this video but I actually do a small talk on unpacking and what I brought. It's all about strategic packing. Mix and match clothes. Lighter material etc..
Where did you buy the jewellery bag from???
It's in our Amazon shop, as referenced in that segment!! :P #ad
www.parodeejay.com/amazon
Dee!!! Does that weekender bag have a trolly sleeve?!?
Yes it does.
@@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay does it fit under the seat in front of you on a flight? Or is it just for the overhead bin?
@@traceymccoyKC it depends have full you stuff it. Also they have 2 sizes. It fit under some seats and others it had to go in the overhead bin. So not a solid answer sorry.
I hope the shower is better in the new cabin
Spoiler alert... it was SO much better!! :P ~Jay
@@parodeejay that’s good. My husband and I are tall as well. That shower would have sent me to the gym locker room
I don’t think every balcony cabin has a bathtub.
How are MSC prices compared to the other main Cruise lines?
Some of the lowest around, from what we've seen. They're really trying to compete in the American market by appealing to the wallet!! :P
Regretfully the amazon link is not linked from the website - I can find the stuff but the link isnt working for me on multiple browsers
We have a direct link in the description of each video, plus if you hit our main homepage and go to the green shopping cart button, it's linked there as well.

Buddy the elf in the shower!
What is the problem with the app what can you do on it and what should you avoid
I have to say that I was surprised that you really liked the cruise director because he seemed borderline rude and condescending in your videos to me. Glad you were able to have a good cruise and I hope your future ones are much better!
I think we were referring specifically to his hypnotist show, as we really only saw him introducing the main production shows otherwise. He did have that sort of dry humor from "across the pond" ha ha... but in sort of a deadpan delivery overall!! :P
That was the impression I got too of the cruise director
I bet I would love all that mozzarella
Jay is funny
Something is wrong with your Amazon "store". Everything says web page not available.
Just pulled it up and it looks good on this end. If you have any sort of pop-up blockers enabled, it will break the links though, so we've been told. Not sure of anything else that would cause it to break though!!

Don't let the Hypnotist nr Dee. ROFL
Do you think that cruise ships are understaffed because they can’t find crew to work? Or do you think they are cheaping out and don’t want to pay for the help they need?
I know Jay had a problem after this💩🚽 TOO MUCH DAIRY 😆😆😆
OMG, I saw your head tilted to th side and first thing I said, WTF! Then, I laughed, sorry!
Wow, that shower sucks. Good thing I’m 2 inches shorter than I was 30 years ago. God was thinking about me Kruzan.
Oh wow…I think that’s the lowest shower score I’ve seen. Yikes 😱. Thanks for the heads up.
Hello
NILF😂
I see the hypnotist show was not within COVID guidelines. Leaning and touching others. Ughh🤮🤢
What is the trick to guessing the sock of the day? Lol. I've been right one time in 5 months. Lol. The sock may not have anything to do with that specific day..lol. We love it, and thanks for sharing
me being a chef the plates looked messy with sauce everywhere not very professional presentation
