If you want to risk it then go for it, worst thing that happens is they confiscate it. Just play dumb since you “assumed” they were like most other cruise lines in allowing 1 or 2 wine bottles per stateroom onboard.
So your review is food is very good, they do great job of cleaning your room. Shows are meh. The other stuff you mention does not effect me, i don’t need to have staff constantly greeting me. To me this sounds like a solid B grade.
My policy is whatever the cruiseline charges for tips is what i pay. I do not pay more and i of course will not go to guest services and demand it be less.
If you can wait till November I can answer you about Meraviglia for the kids club as I have 2 kids and we will be on the ship in November going to Bermuda.
My wife now told me she saw a Facebook post from someone currently on Meraviglia saying they are doing the $5 second entree charge as well. Sounds like this could be shipwide in the US.
My wife on Facebook saw someone post that MSC is now charging $5 if you want a second entree in the MDR. Is this true? Extra appetizers and extra desserts are still no additional charge my wife told me. We have a MSC Meraviglia cruise in November. Cruise lines are just nickel and diming everywhere.
Go directly on the MSC website and login to your cruise if you have Easy Plus it will also indicate on the site as included in your booking within the cruise details tab.
