Where have you cruised before?[
Italy, Spain, Greece Canaries , Egypt, Bahamas and Caribbean . Have been cruising on a regular basis for the last 6 years I have never got off a cruise ship that I said I wouldn't go back on or try anothe ship in its fleet. This company is just not the right fit for me I think.
-
There used to be 7 courses, MSC listened to complaints about having too many, reduced them down and people still complain, yes they serve small portions but that does not mean that you cannot ask for more. we have noticed sometimes that the crew can be affected by how the ship is run depending on which Captain they have! we have just returned from Preziosa our 5th MSC cruise where the crew were friendly and happy and always greeted people with a smile.
I appreciate that you can ask for more than one course, which I did on one occasion and the look thar I got from the waiter as if I was the greediest person in the world. This however was not the main issue it was the quality, or rather lack if quality of the food. I am not that a fussy eater but I would not eat some of the food, tastless and no presentation. Not all of the staff were miserable main issues for me was the MDR and reception staff.

Did you go to the buffet? I heard, surprisingly (to me at least) that the food is actually better there. What specifically made the MDR food terrible? Did you go to the other cirque show also? Did you eat at any other specialty restaurants? What'd you eat at Butchers Cut?[/quote
Ate in buffet breakfast and lunch. Was okay but very repetative considering an Italian ship was not impressed with the pasta dishes. MDR food just terrible tastless or sometimes just inedible, no presentation and staff unpleasant mostly. Ate at italian and again not impressed portion sizes tiny ( if you decide to try dont have the fish) and staff again unpleasant.
Did both circ shows and preferred Sonar to Viaggo, had meal with Viaggo and was okay. Had steak at Butchers Cut it was fabulous and choclate dessert was lovely.

Anyone? Someone must of stayed in an outside cabin!

Hi,
We are onboard the meraviglia at the moment and the dining times, as I think someone has said above, are currently 6.45pm and 9.30pm.
Apparently there is a dining info point setup on level 6 mid ship near the mini mall from 12-4pm everyday, where you can change your allotted time, though we haven't needed to do it, so I'm not sure how smooth the process is.
Hope that helps reduce some of the stress involved!
Cheers
Thanks for that makes me feel a little better about set dining times. When you say there is a desk you can change is that just between early and late or is it flexi diners choosing a time?
-
I believe it's 645 and 930.

Hi have you just been on the mervigrilia? Or is it what you have seen on these boards.
Thanks for the reply by the way
-
We had flex/anytime dining for years. Due to taking the Fantastica package I understand that we must have assigned dining on the Divina. Do not want to switch to another MSC option.
How long might we need to wait before ordering if tablemates do not show up on time?
If others arrive very late, would our dinners be held up until theirs is ready also?
Don't mind having dinner run a bit long which I understand is pretty usual for MSC, but wouldn't want it to really be delayed due to tablemates being late.
I'm interested in this also as being forced to have set dining times on the mervigrilia as flexI dining cancelled 😢
-
That's why you should buy the "multi-meal dining experience"!!!!
Not really the point does not matter if in the yatch club or bella, standard of food should be overall good with good quality of meat and served hot. You should not have to be forced to spend extra on specialiality restaurants just to get a decent meal.

Finally got an answer from msc regarding flexi dining and it is no longer available so looks like I am stuck with set dining times which I hate!!!!! This was there reply
Guests are able to make their preference for dining, although guests will be limited to the Classic Seating experience which will involve a set dining time for your evening meal. The first seating will be at approximately 7pn, whereas the second seating will be at approximately 9:30pm, although this will be subject to reconfirmation onboard.
Your dining preference can be requested prior to embarkation via your web check in or you can certainly reply to this email with your request
Can one just returned from the mervigrilia or on at the moment please confirm the actual set djjing time's as msc don't even know that! !!!!
-
Thank you, trying to get information from msc is newly impossible 😊😊 enjoy your holiday
-
Hi have asked before but would like an update. Could you find out if flexI dining has be re introduced for fantasia cabins please. Enjoy😎
-
I've tried an online question, couldn't find online chat. See how I get on

Hi not been looking at rci for the last year. Looking at a cruise next year, was just wondering when the next promotion is due. The one at the moment not interesting me, any idea when the next one is due to start and what it will be?
-
We were on board June 163out of Barcelona, the second night of the cruise flexi was abolished, you could understand why, dinner top slow and the que of people waiting to enter the restaurant was huge. When I questioned why flexi was abolished, they said it simply didn't work.
Thanks that was what I heard, was wondering if the situation had changed and they had re introdiced it. Both msc customer services and the agency I have booked through deny anything has changed.
-
Hi any chance you could check if flexI dining us back in for fantasia guests?
Many thanks
-
Hi was wondering if you have time you could check in something for me. We are due to sail septembe and wanted to know if flexI dining is back on again. Had read it was temporarily suspended. We have the fantasia package booked specifically so we did not have to stick to set dining times.
Many thanks and enjoy your cruise
-
Can you please check about flexible dining for customers on the fantasia package. Been hearing on here that they have cancelled it? Due to sail September and would really like to know.
-
I am due to travel on Mervigila in September, I have booked on the cabin package that enables you to have flexible dining. I have read lots of comments on here about flexi dining being suspended, so am I hate set dining times I thought I would check to see this issue would be rectified for when I travel. They checked and according to customer services there are no issues and flexi dining is being offered still ? I have booked through a travel agent so contact them to see if they had any information on flexi dining and once again they stated all was well and they were still offering that cabin type that included .
So could someone who is currently on the ship of due to go on in the next few weeks please check and report back on this board if flexi dining is currently offered.
Thanks
-
Hi due to sail in September, booked fantasia pacage as hate fixed dining times. If anyone is on cruise at the moment or due to go soon can they please check about flexible dining, I belive they have stopped it due to issues. Is this temporary? ???
-

Thank you

Medetarainian in December not a good idea. I have just come off this ship and we had two days of bad weather and they do not provide any activities to occupy you. Stick with the sunshine in my opinion.
