Here's the link on MSC's website:

 

https://www.msccruisesusa.com/cruise-itinerary-changes-and-cancellations/msc-meraviglia

 

Here's what it has for the Meraviglia:

 

DECEMBER 1 - 31, 2020 CANCELED CRUISES:

Guests who have paid in full will automatically receive a 125% Future Cruise Credit that will be emailed to you or your travel advisor by mid-December. If you prefer to request a refund, please call us at 1-866-420-3584 between December 16, 2020 - January 15, 2021 to request your refund.

 

You'll have to go into each ship (Seaside and Armonia) to find out what they have.

Does this apply?

 

Options for guests booked on these cruises:
- Guests will be moved to another ship serving the same or similar itinerary, while protecting the price of their original booking. Please be patient as we're continuing to make adjustments and move guests from an impacted sailing to a new sailing.

I don't believe so but I could be wrong.  I think that only applies to the section:

You're welcome.  MSC must have updated it after you checked.  Time will tell if they remove it like they did for the Nov. cancellations.

I wonder about people who don't check the MSC website.  They might show up to the port not knowing.

The US website cancellation section is still a mess.  It still shows the last update as October 6th but the December cancellations were added for Meraviglia, Seaside and Armonia.  For some reason the November cancellations first showing on October 6th were removed and never put back up.  The last section "Winter 2020/2021 Impacted Cruises" has been up several months, since the planned redeployment using Seaside in Port Canaveral, dropping Tampa for Armonia.  The options quoted above were only in regards to those changes, not the cancellations through December.

MSC are not known for being quick with their changes, Seaside is 3 years old and Deck 19 still does not appear on their deck plans.

Seaside decks 19 and 20 took a while after the other decks were released but disappeared from MSC websites when they went to the newer format.  If you go to a country website that still has the older format, such as Australia, you can still see them.

They also still exist on the ships Technical Sheet.
