- This is a full review of what we LOVED and HATED on our 7-day cruise to The Bahamas on the MSC MERAVIGLIA!
This was our very first time cruising with MSC. We went in with very low expectations because, besides reading all the bad reviews on the food and service on various sites, we are also huge CRUISE WITH BEN and DAVID fans and had seen their awful experiences cruising with the line.
The reason we ended up choosing MSC was that we were trying to squeeze a smaller cruise in between two bigger cruises, and it was the ONLY affordable cruise leaving out of NYC. After we purchased our cruise, we placed a bid on a YACHT CLUB suite! Our bid was accepted, and we ended up having an incredible cruise!
Even though we stayed in the Yacht Club, this LOVE/HATE video is about the ENTIRE SHIP. If you are planning a cruise and are undecided about MSC, definitely watch this video. We can be somewhat snobby cruisers, but we found this line to be definitely worthwhile! Hopefully, this video will help you decide if this cruise line is for you! #mscmeraviglia #msccruise #cruisereview

Another great video!
@@relyuhcs thank you so much for watching. We appreciate all your support!
Going on this cruise in October, thanks for the information. 🐸
@@JNTravels of course! Have an incredible time!
We were on the Seashore two weeks ago and they have changed the muster drill. Once you get on the ship you go to your muster station and have your card scanned. Then at your leisure before about 4pm you watch the
safety video and then dial in your code. All done. We were in the Yacht Club.
You guys are very entertaining.
@@USKeyService oh this is so good to know!!!! Before we had sailed we watched other TH-camrs mention the poor muster drill in their videos. I think MSC is really starting to take all negative reviews to heart and are making big changes and it’s really exciting.
Great video!
Great video! You make me want to try MSC!
Yay!!!!! Definitely give it a try!
Glad you ended up enjoying MSC overall.
We really did.
Hi guys. Been on the Meraviglia 3x. They have a cold room in the Spa. They also have 3 hot chairs. One was out of order in April.
@@philt69 we definitely 100% looked for hot chairs. They must be gone or hidden deep. The cold room I figured we missed because we didn’t look into every single room.
Thorough review!
@@Snuglar3 you know it!💖
We've been in the Haven twice now, but are thinking of switching to the YC for our next cruise. My one wish? That some sailings for the Haven or YC were adults only.
So many kids ruined our experiences on both the Jewel & the Breakaway, so this is why we may switch. Why don't cruise lines realize that sometimes parents would like to have a relaxing vacation & not spend it with other kids? It doesn't have to be every sailing, but a few a year would be nice.
I'd really love it if places like the Haven or YC were always adults only, but I don't expect that to ever happen. Thanks for all the information on the Meraviglia.
@@kaylam1743 we agree with you whole heartedly about traveling without children…..especially when springing thousands of extra dollars for a suite. We did stay in THE HAVEN on Norwegian on a 2 week cruise in January and there were very few children so the longer the cruise in an off peak month the less kids there are!🙏🏼
I didnt know about the free kids deal until this video 😢, we are sailing tomorrow lets hope its not too bad lol
@@Arc180playsgames ohhhh let us know if you think of it!
I sailed the Seashore Yacht Club last May and have booked the same for next year. We definitely didn't have the same experience with the beef. Truthfully when we sailed Aurea level in the past we enjoyed Butchers Cut but found the Yacht Club so good we didn't feel a Butchers Cut visit was needed . Hopefully it was an abberation.
Hopefully! Maybe it’s the suppliers in NY?
Gary, I had a bad knee and had a total knee replacement and have never felt better. Plus you have the best hospitals and doctors in NYC. GOOD LUCK.
@@user-im8cf9fr5h it’s good to hear this! Thank you!
WOW I did not know that 17 and younger sail for free, that's CRAZY.
@@USKeyService insane!
Totally agree MSC Yacht Club value is AWESOME.
@@USKeyService 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
💯 there is an ice room, as well as multiple cold showers, sensory steam rooms, saunas, and a salt room...plus there are TWO hot tubs in the Aurea Spa. I just got off today, 7/7/24, and we were also upgraded to YC Balcony Suite. High tea was nice, our meats were spot on, the butlers were great, the concierge staff was on it, the massages at the spa were great, as were the Carousel shows.
@@robgibson8695 where was the other hot tub!!!!!!!
There is an ice fall sauna near the finish sauna in the thermal spa,,, and just an fyi,, the pizza that you order in the YC is actually made at the buffet,, we saw a line of butlers waiting for YC pizza orders LOL!!!
@@Mikesa-tb5cr yes we knew the pizza was from the buffet. It’s amazing. All the italian food on the ship…..just excellent!!!! Too bad we missed the ice sauna but honestly we probably wouldn’t have used it since the steam room and hot tub were too crowded for us to feel comfortable warming up there.
Everything is all inclusive too on the Explora 1with welcoming champagne. We had a butler once on Oceania and had no idea what to do with him. Not butler people.
@@cheriedoughan5583 you can give all of your butlers to us! We love em!!!!😂😂😂💖
Maybe Your Filet Was A Ball Tip Cut Instead Of A Regular Filet Mignon. We Had That Experience Once On Princess In The MDR. You Could Order A Filet Mignon For A $19 Up Charge That Turned Out To Be A Tough Ball Tip Instead Of A Filet Mignon. Great Video Laurie And Gary 😀
@@code4forlife you are right! That’s probably what it was.
Liked this format. We’re going on Explora1 an MSC ship. Supposedly all cabins will be suites. Hoping the meat experience will be better than yours. Never went on MSC before here’s hoping.
@@cheriedoughan5583 ohhhhhh would love to know how food quality compares on that ship!
Will let you know after January from Miami to San Juan then back from PR to Miami in February. I’ve been looking at TH-cam videos of the ship and excited to go. Better than flying to PR.
@@cheriedoughan5583 yes! Sounds like an amazing cruise vacation!
Oh, look, Gary. Grandma is rolling down the stairs in her wheelchair. Weeeeee … help meeeeee! Clean up on deck 6. Someone should bring a shovel and trash can.
After being on hold with MSC Website for 20 minutes, hello, my name is Bob. Bob from Bangladesh. You can call me Bob, because my real name is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. How can I please not help you? By the way, our answering machine stinks worse than an Elephant fart. You will please need to repeat everything. I will be happy not to help you. By the way, my name is Bob, but what is yours? Is your name Cruise, or are you calling about a cruise? Seriously, that is your real name? Nice to meet you; my name is Bob. “Click,” and the phone disconnects.
If your 17-year-old is pooping in the pool, you have more problems than too many kids.
Y’all have the best sound effects … car horns honking and firetruck sirens. Yep, you live in NYC.

@@LarryLMelton hahahaha!!!! Thanks again for watching Larry.💖
