MSC MERAVIGLIA Questions

[RandomUser123]

I am looking to book a cruise to Bermuda on MSC MERAVIGLIA in November. This will be my first MSC cruise (I have done other cruise lies in the past) and I have a few questions.

 

1) My kids will be 9 and 6 years old. What are the hours of the kids club on the ship? I could not find it on their website but I saw another site say 9AM - 11PM so just want to make sure.

2) How deep are the pools on the ship? Will my kids be able to use it?

3) Are there lifejackets provided for the kids?

4) Overall how would you rate the buffet and MDR food? We do not do specialty restaurants on cruises. 

5) How are the evening shows on the ship?

Update: We booked the cruise. It was a great deal and the price included Easy Plus Drink package for me and my wife and the minors drink package for my 2 kids and wifi (browse web, emails, chat, no streaming).

My kids are all grown up so I didn't pay attention to the kids club.  There was this on Meraviglia this weekend for a port day in Ocean Cay:

We have cruised MSC six times in the regular (not Yacht club) cabins.

In our experience the kids club is not all day. Like the hours posted above, there are closed time throughout the day. My son really loves the kids clubs on MSC.

 

I'm not sure about the pool depths or life jackets.

 

We really enjoy the food in both the buffet and main dining room. Some comments on the food is that the portion sizes are smaller, but asking for another item is always an option. Also, the food is less salty than typical US chain restaurants. I like this, but others may not.

 

The evening shows were always primarily singing, dancing and acrobatics. I have noticed a marked improvement in the quality if performances since the cruise restart.
