First time MSC cruiser

[Missbollinger]

I tried searching for these but did get solid answers so here goes:

 

1.  On a 3 night cruise is there a formal/gala night?

2.  What do cruise portraits look like now?  Are they still taking pictures at the table in the dining room and indoor locations?

3.  We booked the Fantastica experience, will there be a drinks package available for purchase?

And lastly….

4.  How do YOU pronounce Meraviglia?

 

Many Thanks in advance and happy sailing vibes!

1. One formal night

2. They look the same and yes they do take pictures at the dining room and Indoor locations also.

3. Drink packages are always available for purchase,  it's one of the biggest sources of revenue

Thank you!  My biggest thing(s) is(are) the formals and pictures, my hubby’s is the drinks packages.  We are happy cruisers.

If there's a reasonable way for them to potentially make money, and it's legal, they'll probably offer you that option.

Mer-uh-VEELYA. (The “g” is not pronounced, and there’s no ee sound at the end, just “lya”)

Spot on.  In Italian, G is silent.

Haha, right? Actually, "g" usually IS pronounced in Italian, it's just in certain words that it's silent....

Anyway, Italians talk with their hands in the first place, no speaking necessary! 😆
