The projected track of Hurricane Milton was no secret. Too bad they didn't switch this sailing to a Canada/NE cruise. Calmer seas and a better itinerary to be sure.

Meraviglia Oct 12, 2025 Itinerary - Bermuda or Bahamas?
NYcruzzer replied to RichYak's topic in MSC Cruises
I agree Bahamas is a crappy substitute for Bermuda. However, It being the peak of hurricane season you may end up in Bahamas or Canada NE anyway. -
Does this disturbing new trend bother anyone else?

As paid entertainers. I was making a joke. Ha Ha -

Maybe they are preforming on cruise ships ? -
LIVE Journey to Greenland on the Pride 9/8/24

NCL's specialty dining has gone downhill as well. NCL's cutbacks are on full display both in food and entertainment. -

Orchestra was first in NYC more than 15 years ago. I can only speak from my recent experience on MSC Meraviglia. The Production shows were all excellent. High energy. Great music and dancing numbers. Over the last few years MSC has been "Americanizing" their product to tailor to American's taste in food and entertainment. I am a big Carnival fan. Big production shows aren't a deal breaker for me. I am just as happy going to Comedy shows and the Piano Bar. -

Fortunately MSC is bucking this trend. On my recent 7 night cruise on MSC Meraviglia there was 3 full scale production shows. Two magician/illusionist and 2 comedy shows in the main showroom. All very good I might add. -
I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of documented accounts of rude behavior on cruises that originated south of the Mason Dixon Line..Rude behavior knows no boundaries.

On land or at Sea....

You may be right. Previously I've read on other sites that folks on Easy package were able to order a shot of a "Well" selection of Rum and it was included in the Easy package. Off the subject a bit. Just returned from 9/1 cruise on Meraviglia. Had the included Easy Plus package Some of my drinks did seem a little watered down. A few times I ordered a Malibu and Pineapple. Tasted like straight pineapple juice. I got smart and started ordering an extra shot of Malibu on the side..Problem solved.
-
Virgin frozen drinks like Pina Coladas are offered on the EASY Package. You could order a Virgin drink and a shot of rum on the side. Or as others said you could just pay the difference. Have a great cruise.

We were on the same sailing as you. In YC as well. This was our first time in YC. We had a great cruise. We are booked (non YC) for 1/12 11 night cruise..I'm thinking it will be much harder to win a YC upgrade bid on that cruise. The outright YC fare is a bit rich for my blood..I know, first world problems...

Great. Thanks for the detailed response.

Sailing on Meraviglia this Sunday. Can any recent YC let me know if the Carousel at Sea productions were complimentary ?

Sucess ! Cruising 9/1 on Meraviglia. Last Monday we bid $600.00 PP to go from an Obstructed view balcony to a YC interior. Friday we upped our bid to $650.00 PP. This morning we got the congratulations e-mail that our bid for an inside YC was accepted. Now the best part. When we checked our new cabin number they actually assigned us to a YC balcony ! Initial "all in" fare $1750.00 with drink package and wi-fi Plus $1300.00 for upgrade. Total price $1525.00 PP for a YC balcony. Just about 50% savings. Woo Whooo very excited !

On my upcoming 1/12 cruise there isn't an option that includes internet. I'm sure this will change later..Marketing dept. in Beta testing mode !

On the 9/1 sailing the drink package/wi-fi option comes with a $50.00 OBC. I'm thinking MSC marketing gurus are tinkering with ways to make the "Drinks and Wi-Fi" option more appealing. On my 9/1 sailing I can't see anyone going for the "Drinks package" without Wi-Fi to save $18 bucks. What MSC should experiment with is an option that includes cruise and Wi-Fi ONLY instead of Drink package only..
-
On my upcoming 9/1 cruise they now have these 3 options. This cruise the price spread is minimal. I'd imagine at some point the spread will be larger between option #2 and #3
-
Excellent. Thanks for the info.
-
I'm not happy with the new Dining packages. I asked this before but want to make sure. If I DO NOT purchase the dining package, can I still order the $59.00 Dining Experience at Butchers Cut ?
-
I assume OK. Otherwise I'm pretty sure he/she would have been back on C.C. with a scathing report...
-
I priced out the 1/23/25 cruise yesterday. Plenty of cabins available. I suspect either a website issue or they are updated pricing on a bunch o salings.

I guess you should have done your research BEFORE booking. To quote a famous line from the Movie "A Bronx Tale" "Now yous can't leave"
