Singleandnotmingling Posted September 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I will be cruising solo on a quick 4 nighter on the Meraviglia out of Cape Canaveral. I was wondering if there are any “secrets” or tips to know about. for example, where is a nice quiet spot to read a book? what bars/ restaurants have the coolest spots to sit and maybe some good chicken wings? I will not be on yacht club and specifically looking for spots not in yacht club thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellfree Posted September 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Deck 16 Sky Lounge - seldom used during day, overlooks poolside, great place for lounging/reading - in evening they have some entertainment, couple months ago we had a Duo that sang various types of music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted September 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Not sure about chicken wings, but the British Pub had burgers, a hot dog and fish & chips for a relatively small $ 4-5 up charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's super quiet during the day (never went at night). While we enjoyed the Champagne bar on the Mera we found it's location to be odd - too out in the open for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate me on “smoked drinks.” And Champagne Bar, we found it quite a large space rarely used, and if I remember correctly seating not real comfortable for a quiet relax.

It is really one of those things you have to experience. Had first one on Seaside by the bar by BC made by the Great Isiah. Best drink I ever had. Only certain bars make them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappahbuttz Posted September 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Might be of interest!!!! Many ships when being built have a coin or coins laid in or under the keel to bless the ship and a symbol of good fortune. Most of the time you will never get to see them again. However on the Meraviglia, if you take the port side (I believe) panoramic elevator to the lowest deck it goes, look out the glass window opposite side of the door, and you will get to see the coins! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a little dense - so I simply order a “smoked drink” or are there a multitude of smoked drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more than one. I don't think I grabbed a shot of one of the menus. I just Isiah to pick one. Best way I could describe is if you took the smell of a structure fire during overhaul and made it into a drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a Mera thread about highlights, didn’t mean to depart from that, on Divina a week from today, will certainly investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Best Cat Mom Posted October 6, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 6, 2022 YC restaurant is indeed open for lunch on boarding day -- that's why we always try to board around 10:30am. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a technique that some bars use to ignite a small amount of wood to create smoke, that permeates the mixed drink. The only ones I’ve seen have been bourbon based cocktails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
