@wbinghamFWIW, we sailed on the Mera in January...1st time on MSC. We had many issues with their website, IT, customer service before hand. We were a group of 7. We ALL decided MSC would be a one and done because of it. Then we sailed. We truly enjoyed the cruise, the service (bar service was a little spotty and wonky) was good, staff very friendly and the food was much better than reported on these MSC boards. We are actually considering longer cruises now with MSC. Hope same goes for you.

Another GREAT @sid_9169review! Will join the others in saying I'm so glad you took "Sid" time, and so happy you had a "friend" to play with!

Congrats on the promotion! Following...looking forward to your report.

I was on the Mera cruise right before the OP's. It was our first time on MSC and we were with a group of 7. We were quite apprehensive based on reviews but we were delighted with the cruise. Was it perfect, no. The lines for drinks at the bars was terrible, very slow service with little to no bar servers in most lounges. The Pub and the Sky lounge, however, service was excellent. We found those too late, which is typical on a short 3 nighter...lol. We found the food in the MDR was good to very good, which differs from many reports on CC. Had no issue with the buffet for lunch. Overall, the staff was very friendly. Our cabin steward was not great but not awful either. We agree that a short cruise is not the best way to judge a line. We enjoyed it enough to consider a longer sailing with MSC!

Tracie, another great blog! Thank you for taking the time. We are on the Enchanted in November but may squeeze in a Sky cruise before then!

Great pictures and fabulous review so far @sid_9169!! Thanks for your time and effort!

Just saw this...started yesterday and already on Page 7...have catching up to do. Anyway, am following and along for another great @sid_9169live report!!!

Great review (live) Megan...as usual!! Thanks for taking the time!

safe travels @MeganGC1983

Hi Charla, looking forward to a comparison as well. We are sailing MSC next week (although not in YC) for the first time. Love your reports! Enjoy your cruises1

Yay...another @MeganGC1983Virgin report!! Will be "sailing" with you all week. Enjoy!

Great review! Symphony is a ship I want to sail!

Enjoying your Live report. Thank you for taking time on your vacation to do so. Oh, and #sorrynotsorry about my Dolphins winning (barely) on Sunday. 🤣

Another great review, Andrew! Thank you for your time!

Loving your review so far! We did the SA/Cape Horn/Glacier Alley in January of 2017 (but on Princess) and Glacier Alley was the highlight of the trip as we had BEAUTIFUL weather. Very cold but clear! Can't wait to read more. Enjoy your vacation!

Thanks @sid_9169! Will be following the Prima review. I'm very interested in your take on it as it is really the only NCL ship I would consider sailing. And I have an interest in sailing it.

Glad to see you are cruising and posting again! Love your Lives, Andrew! Glad our Panthers pulled off the win for you, too. Early birthday gift. Hope you have a Happy Birthday and a Great NYE onboard. I have cruised once on NYE and once on Christmas. Never my birthday (it's in July).

Yay, I finally caught a Benny cruise at the beginning!! Looking forward to your cruise. I don't sail again until 01/19/23 on a 3 nighter on MSC (first time trying MSC) to celebrate my Dad's 81st Birthday.

Hi, We are going on the Meraviglia in January for 3 nights. The Easy drink package is included (and apparently we can't upgrade to premium because it is a 3 night cruise???). Does anyone have a list of the brands of liquor that are included in the easy package, or know where I can find a list? TIA

Great review! Thanks for taking the time to post! I've sailed on a couple of the S class ships but am dying to sail on an Edge class. Apex just may be the one!

Thanks @willdrafor another great and super funny review!! When do you cruise again???

Fantastic Live, Sid! Thank you so much for "working on vacation" for us!

Looking forward to your non-Live!

I'm finally caught up! YAY, another Willdra cruise!! Love your style and your humor! I will chime in with those who are following Sid, Greg, Megan and now you!! Glad it's a slow week here at work!

I'm 202! And reading while at work!
