Amaya042605 Posted February 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have cruised on a couple RCC and on the Norwegian. I am looking at the Meraviglia and I am a little skeptical. I have been reading a lot of reviews and my questions are: 1. Can you get tap water in the MDR? If not, what complimentary drink can you get? 2. When I book (with a travel agent), will my cabin be guaranteed? Can I pick my room? 3. Is there any other complimentary places to eat other than the MDR and market place buffet? 4. Does anyone have a picture of the MDR menu? How many appetizers, main courses and desserts are there to choose from? 5. How is the food in the MDR and buffet? 6. Is there a teen club? thank you for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a teen club? thank you for your advice The only question I can answer for you is #6: yes there is a teen club on board. We always sail in the Yacht Club with MSC because the price really can't be beat when compared with everything you get. In the Yacht Club, you'll have access to a private restaurant just for YC passengers. All drinks (including alcoholic beverages - not including "Premium spirits" are included), wich includes as much water as you can drink all over the ship. If you book with a YC suite with a TA, yes your room will be guaranteed and you'll be able to select the room that best fits your desires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, what complimentary drink can you get? We were provided with water at our meals. 2. When I book (with a travel agent), will my cabin be guaranteed? Can I pick my room? You or your agent can choose a cabin unless you book at a rate (often the lowest one in some categories.) Do a mock booking to see what is available. 3. Is there any other complimentary places to eat other than the MDR and market place buffet? Not sure on the Mergovilia. On the Divina, passengers could go to the deli at Piazza del Doge or the Sports Bar for snacks. 4. Does anyone have a picture of the MDR menu? How many appetizers, main courses and desserts are there to choose from? Do a search, someone posted one. 5. How is the food in the MDR and buffet? Most people think it is fine, but that is a very subjective question. thank you for your advice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markanddonna Posted February 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have seen posts that indicate Americans and English receive water at no cost. Of course, your MDR server would likely be given some kind of code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser man 60 Posted February 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There is water and juices available from self service machines in buffet for breakfast and just water for lunch and dinner I think.Also tea and coffee self service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaya042605 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I am American sailing out of Miami with kids and we don’t eat at the specialty restaurants. How do you rate the food. Is there some American food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2019 In the buffet areas there are juices until noon, then iced tea and lemonade. Free. They will fill you glasses at dinner with cold water from a pitcher. Ice doesn't seem to be necessary to them. I can post menus for six of the seven night cruise on Seaside Feb. 9-16, 2019 (we skipped one night as we ate too much ashore). First night: MDR breakfast Second night Third night Fourth Night Fifth night Sixth night missing Seventh (last) night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser man 60 Posted February 21, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There are burgers, hot dogs and French fries so I guess that's American food. Also Several types of fresh pizza and pasta . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaya042605 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I do notice, in looking at the menu, that they do not have a surf and turf night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many cruise lines have done away with surf and turf nights. You will find surf and turf comes with an additional price on MSC. See the menus above. I would say that 60% of the food on MSC is "American Food." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While serving the American markets in the Caribbean, I would say you are correct. I wonder if it's any different in other markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
