Is the spa open and are spa passes available for purchase for the week?  If you happen to know.

The spa is open and you can get both day and weekly passes.

Current breakfast menu.  MDR food has been consistently good,  except for the first night which was a disaster.   The steak was especially good as was the jerk chicken.

Salmon was the catch of the day and very tasty.

Thank you!  Smoked salmon will make DH happy.

Easy Plus does not go into effect until Saturday, the 13th.

It will be all drinks $9.00 and under. Not sure they will have menu just drinks with prices listed . 
Easy Plus is included with the All In Drink promo.

Yes, I have this.  Was just looking for the menu of cocktails.  Forgot it hadn't kicked in yet.

This is what we did in Cozumel.  I will have more footage coming, but this was amazing.

Anyone know how much the drink packages are on board? What if you don’t buy the first day but want it later in the week?

 

Thanks! Can’t wait till Saturday 🚢😎🍹🏖🍸

The Breakfast menu offers so many excellent choices.  One morning, I ordered Baked Apples along with other items.  I expected a small dish of Baked Apples.  (That's what I have gotten when I sailed on Princess.)  I was served a bowl of them; they were delicious.  Lunch, that day, was not needed.

Wow, thanks for letting us know. I saw that on the menu and thought that would be nice to have with my meal. Now I know it IS the meal!

I am going to try and play a little catch up today, as we have a sea day and so I have some time.  

 Sunday was a sea day for us, and we did some video filming and we ate breakfast in the buffet, there is an omelet station that is open at the far back end of the ship, and if you go further back there are doors that lead to a terrace off of the buffet.   You can see the terrace and view in these pictures.  This is where I would go, especially when I woke up early enough to catch the sunrise.  It is an amazing place to listen to the wake, enjoy your coffee, and watch nature at work.

Here are some pictures of my wife's breakfast from the buffet.  I will say that I am very impressed by the breakfast buffet, the food has been excellent.

[misguy]

We would spend most of Sunday filming videos and taking pictures of interesting things around the ship. Here are some of the pictures from Sunday.  You will notice that promenade looks deserted, and it has never been very busy during this trip.  Sunday is the first elegant night, and so since I could, I dressed up for it.   The rest of the cruise I have been in t-shirts and shorts.

 

The sculptures I am standing next to are all made from chocolate.  They have a beautiful selection to admire.

Go ahead and order them!  I was taught to "clean up my plate" and tried to do so with those Apples.  I did not succeed.  I ate them as a "breakfast dessert' rather than as a fruit "starter".  If I had started with them, something else that I ordered would not have been completely consumed.  (Although, if I was several years younger, eating everything would not have been an issue.)

Thanks for your posts and pictures.  Meraviglia is a beautiful ship.  Regarding to that terrace area aft of the Buffet Restaurant:  I never got there!  Now wish I had thanks to your pictures!

Do you have any more dinner menus from the MDR?

[misguy]

I have quite a few some downloaded PDF and some pictures.  I am going to try to start catching up after we get back onboard from Ocean Cay.  I have been very busy with filming on board, yesterday we got to tour some cabins and a brief Yacht Club tour.  So as of right now, I have probably 20 hours of film to edit and close to 1 K pictures to sort and post. But I am working on it.

I have a question. On our first cruise we had a handicapped Fantastica balcony on the Divina.   It was huge!  On our upcoming Mera cruise we booked a handicap balcony but from your description it seems they are much smaller. 

 

Regardless we won an upgrade to the handicap YC cabin 15039 on the Mera which is right next to the entrance to the deck. By any chance if you’re in that area could you tell me how noisy it might be in our room. It appears to be the same size as the other YC cabins. Our bid was  accepted way head of sailing and I wonder if it  was because it is the only handicap YC cabin they had. Quite frankly I was surprised we won. 
 

Enjoying your posts!

Thank you!  Looking good although I do miss a steak option without an upcharge.
