I was blown away by the Meraviglia sailing practically empty in February...only 600 passengers!!! My friend was on the Seashore up until mid-may, when he said there were 3800 passengers (of 5700 or so). The week before were half that. I think the ships will get progressively fuller as summer arrives. MSC is funded by their parent shipping company so they can lose money on a sailing no problem. Other lines dont have that luxury.

I was recently on the Meraviglia and they always had one nice vegan option for dinner. The head waiter got to know me and mid way through the sailing he started bringing me off-menu indian dishes as well (very spicy, I believe made for the crew kitchen). Needless to say, I never went hungry!!! We mostly used the buffet for breakfast and lunch, but they the Guy Ferreri place had great veggie burgers.
