jamon Posted February 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2022 We are going on the Meraviglia in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone has menus for the main dining room..Also would appreciate any tips that you have about the ship...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr8hd Posted February 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2022 MDR menus (Not sure just how current they are,) can be found on a couple of the other Cruising sites. I think they are posted on the FB groups for the Meraviglia as well. We are onboard 02/27 for 4 nights. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamon Posted February 13, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted February 13, 2022 thanks ...also wondering if they are doing the voyagers club party for diamond and the meet and greet party..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted February 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Here are some of the menus from my cruise on 1/23. I do not remember seeing any meet & greet for Diamond members, but could have missed it. There were less than 600 on that sailing. These are not the best quality, but maybe you can read most of them. Apparently my camera lens on my phone was dirty and many of my photos were blurred if you tried to zoom in.

rkacruiser Posted February 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2022 You asked for tips. Pizza: don't miss trying some of their pizzas. Find the few minutes it takes each day to enjoy the dome over the Atrium's Digital Show. The mid-ship's pool bartenders make excellent Bloody Marys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT1962 Posted February 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2022 As far as tips, you can order more than one item from each section of the menu in the dining room. The MSC menus seemed to have a few less items than Royal Caribbean or Carnival and the soups , salads and appetizers are all in one section. I never had an issue finding something to order and enjoyed all of items I did order. I ordered an appetizer and soup or salad each night. I did not order more than one appetizer or dessert, but I believe you can. Don’t be afraid to try items you may never have eaten before. If you do not care for something, feel free to order something else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing that causes gathering…so no Diamond card party, no cruise critic meet ups w officers etc Masks strictly adhered to… Testing at pier is quick VAXdocs and tests are photographed into sailing record Plenty of room. Ship is immaculate and crew is wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess's pizza is usually very good. HAL's pizza varies from ship to ship because of the different venues (and, I assume, how the pizza is cooked). The Pinnacle Class ships have a dedicated New York Pizza and Deli venue. I found the pizza and their deli selections excellent. Friends currently sailing on Nieuw Statendam, who have eaten pizzas around the world, have found that venue's pizza disappointing. Carnival's pizza is good. But, I would rate the pizza that I have eaten at Alfredo's on a Princess ship as being the best with MSC's pizza being a close equal to Alfredo's.

Now I am hungry to pizza. but ya know they also say steak can vary from ship to ship in the MDR. I have been told several times to not order steak in MDR but rather do at a specialty restaurant. However, on a cruise I took in 2019 I did order steak in the MDR and it was great. i find conversations about food so interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now yes, but you still need to be tested within 2 days before your cruise. This is just an extra test from MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding cruise ship dining experiences, so much depends upon the Executive Chef in the Galley. That is the main reason, I think, the guests' satisfaction varies so much with what they are served. Then, one gets into a discussion of MDR service. That can be influenced by whom the Hotel Director, the Culinary Operations Manager, and the Maitre d' is. Add to the above the personal preferences/likes/dislikes of guests, that is a reason that the reviews/opinions of dining on ships can be so highly varied.

svnet Posted February 16, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Can you please tell me if, with COVID restrictions, we can go out the ship by ourselves, or only on MSC arranged excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us will be wearing a blue/green shirt that says Cruise Crew. If you see any of us, be sure to stop and and ask. General answers will be “We love it!” And “Best decision we ever made!” Looking forward to meeting you on board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
