My son has recently sailed on MSC it was his second sailing and was happy with the food on offer, I know everyone has different tastes, just thought it maybe helpful.
OMG!!!! I’ve been watching and loving your videos for quite some time. This the FIRST TIME EVER that I’ve seen the lovely Joanna with a messy face (while navigating heurvos rancheros). I literally smiled and said “that’s so cute!” Excellent video as always. Joanna, you have (by far) the best food reviews on You Tube. You are so specific with your descriptions and opinions. Keep up the great work!
I always enjoy your food tour videos. You do such a wonderful job of giving future cruisers and idea of what to expect!! I will be on the Meraviglia for the 1st time in January of 2025. Your video makes me excited plus I absolutely love sea day brunch!! Thanks for sharing. 😋
Thank you very much- we're happy to hear that you enjoy the videos & found them to be helpful! 😊 Yeah their sea day brunch was surprisingly good- one of the best among the major cruise lines. Enjoy, & have a wonderful cruise on the Meraviglia- would love to hear back how you liked it!
I really enjoy to watch your videos..especially when mam joan tastes the food..she is beautiful to look and she tells the truth wether its delicious or not..
I love Joanne's cute smile when she isn't thrilled with the food. Love her outfits. I would eat the polenta fries. Oh, and the eggs Benedict. Fried Eggs looked extra crispy on the edges but then I don't eat fried eggs. Just mainly scrambled with a susage patty on an English muffin every day. Great videos, I look forward to them. I never watch other cruisers. I tried but their just not my cup of tea. Thank you for yours!!!
Thank you Kathy for watching & the comment! 😊 Yeah those polenta fries were pretty unique and tasty as well, and they did a good job on the eggs Benedict as well 😋
My family enjoys your videos. We always ask ourselves does the videographer ever eat 🤔? LOL!!! The taster has a great pallet. I am extremely picky. I enjoy seeing dishes I’d never order and now giving it a second thought because I know what it looks like and from the tasters description what it will taste like also. Thank you for ALL of your wonderful videos. My family are fans even my mom the gluten free vegan. LOL!!!
Our pleasure- we're happy to hear that the videos are helpful! 😊 Lol yeah the food you see are shared between the 3 of us (two adults and a hungry teen) after the tasting. Have a wonderful time on your cruise!
@@TravelTouristVideosmy daughter and I will sail MSC Mereviglia Sunday. I can not wait to try some of the dishes featured in your videos. I’m happy you and the teenager are able to enjoy the dishes also after the tasting 😀. Continued safe travels. We’ll be on Pride for Christmas, Venezia this summer, Odyssey next Christmas & Disney Wish Jan 2026. I’ve already watched your Venezia video but I’ll refresh my memory before we sail in June.
Interesting video. The food actually looked pretty good. My only concern is that there are so many mixed reviews, especially on the Meraviglia. I like their fares but I a, just not ready to pull the trigger on one. I saw a $45 per night on Regal Princess relocating from Southampton to Galveston of Regal Princess that looks interesting but it conflicts with a cruise I am on.
Thanks JL! 😊 Dinner seating can be an issue, but yeah we were pleasantly surprised by their food overall- this brunch was pretty good. Wow that's a great find on that transatlantic for the Regal- hopefully some lucky cruisers take advantage of it!
I love when Joanne says something is fancy lol. I’ve never seen pepperanata served as a meal, usually it’s something of a garnish/side. Watching Joanne take on that calzone 😂 it looked like a whale. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and for the amazing content!
Thank you so much… We will be going on MSC seashore in September in the Yacht Club… And then we will be going in January in the general pop… We will be sure to try some of the dishes you suggested😋
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊 Have a wonderful cruise on the Seashore, and we would love to hear what you thought about the food when you get back.
The food looks good!! I went on an 11 day Mediterranean cruise on MSC in 2019. I forget which ship it was. The food was awful everywhere. The pizza was inedible. Bad pizza in an Italian ship!! It was sacrilegious. MDR portions were tiny and service was slow and inefficient. Entertainment was non-existent, I swore off MSC after that. However, that particular sailing is aimed at the European market. Clearly this sailing has been modified for the American market. Most of the food looks fresh and very good, with Proper portions and a wide variety. Pasta/Italian dishes appear very well executed (unlike in my cruise experience where I survived on self-made sandwiches with hard rolls, cheese and turkey from the midnight snack buffet and fruit yogurts from Germany that were served in the room service breakfast. You have convinced me to give MSC-US a try. Also, the fritto misto (battered and fried seafood) was served without any sauce because that is how Italians typically eat it. Just a wedge of lemon. When the seafood is fresh and it’s done properly, lemon is all you need.
Thanks for sharing your MSC Europe cruise experience! We were on the MSC Divina a little before you, though it also sailed the US, but the food was not good overall other than the pizza. That's bad that their pizza in Europe was worse! But yeah we were pleasantly surprised here with their food quality & presentation- quite the improvement for sure. Good to know that's how Italians enjoy fritto misto!
Hi great video! The $5 apply only for entrees and during the dinners? Does it appy every single day? We have sailed several times with MSC but we was not aware of this new guideline.
I LLLLLOVE you guys' videos🤗. It's true what they say - presentation is everything, and it seems like MSC takes that to heart. They seem to do a really good job. Personally though, I didn't really see much here that I would enjoy. It all looks well-presented, which I like, but I'm one of those who tend to look past the presentation when I'm deciding whether or not I'm going to enjoy something. Everything I see here looks pretty carb-heavy, and being pre-diabetic there is no way I would survive with this fare. The calzone looked pretty pathetic if you ask me (sorry to be critical!!). The crust looked so dry, and as an American, I would have put an egg wash over the crust before I baked it so it didn't look so dry. Plus there was not nearly enough filling. However, authentic Italian cooks might very well disagree with me, so I defer to them. I'm sure for most people, the food here would be just fine. For me, I would have to pass. See you in the next video! ~Scott
Thank you very much Scott! 😊 Yeah we thought the presentation was very good- night and day compared to our last MSC cruise from 6 or 7 years ago. With you on the Calzone- it looked big but it was odd how hollow it was. That was a head-scratcher by a Italian cruise line.
You make me want to sail on MSC. I had heard their food wasn't great but you have changed my mind. Thank youuu
My son has recently sailed on MSC it was his second sailing and was happy with the food on offer, I know everyone has different tastes, just thought it maybe helpful.
Our pleasure! 😊 Yeah we were pleasantly surprised- they certainly improved a lot since we sailed with them the first time.
Love the video. Food looks great. Still not sure about taking MSC. It’s great to showcase the food offerings. Thanks everyone.
Thanks George! 😊 Yeah we were surprised by their brunch- they certainly did put in some extra effort there with the variety of dishes.
OMG!!!! I’ve been watching and loving your videos for quite some time. This the FIRST TIME EVER that I’ve seen the lovely Joanna with a messy face (while navigating heurvos rancheros). I literally smiled and said “that’s so cute!”

That bananapudding looks amazing!
It was and tasted good too! 😋

Saludos Desde Venezuela , Muchos Exitos Para Ti Y Tu Familia 🖐
¡Muchas gracias! ¡Lo mismo para ti! 😊
thanks for the review. 🐸🐸
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊
Nice review. The food looked really good. I have seen alot of bad reviews of MSC and not just about the food. Thanks and take care.
Thanks Karen! 😊 Yeah we didn't have high hopes for the food but came away pleasantly surprised.
I love when Joanne says something is fancy lol. I’ve never seen pepperanata served as a meal, usually it’s something of a garnish/side. Watching Joanne take on that calzone 😂 it looked like a whale. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and for the amazing content!

Hi Guys, sorry I don’t know your names except Joanne, love all your videos but it always makes me hungry. I think I would choose the prawn arrabiata.
Thank you very much Nicole! 😊 Yeah they had some nice offerings there- the arrabiata was pretty good 😋

Hi great video! The $5 apply only for entrees and during the dinners? Does it appy every single day? We have sailed several times with MSC but we was not aware of this new guideline.
Thank you! 😊 Yup the $5 extra for each dish is only for dinner main entrees beyond the first.
👍👏🇦🇷
🙏 😊
steak, eggs, chips and bacon. All it needs is mushrooms.
💯
damn, you missed ocean cay. i would be there just for ocean cay.
Yeah that was a bummer- def the port we were looking forward to the most
