I think the whole rude thing is just a high concentration of NYC people who truly don’t know any better because that is there everyday lives in the city.
Guessing it's kind of like GTA (greater Toronto area) folk coming north to the beaches of Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. Always in a hurry for what they want, or do unto others before they do it to you mentality. 😢
I'm a native New Yorker. If you think all of us are rude, you need to get an attitude adjustment. I'm guessing your from a city with no people, just individuals walking around in a cloud. By the way, from this New Yorker, good night!
We tried the Meraviglia last year. The ship is beautiful, you are correct about the rude group of people. They cut lines they bump into you and don't say a word. We decided to give it another shot since the price was so low. We are going in November. I hope the ratio of the rude people is lower this time.
Ich denke nicht...wir waren gerade da...einfach nur schlimm..wer da alles mitfährt...sowas hab ich auf keinem anderen Schiff erlebt...wir konnten kaum schlafen so laut waren die Nachbaren...unternommen hat keiner was...der Großteil ohne Respekt und anstand...
I'm curious about the status match. Did they only status match one of you? Or did both of you get the perks? Looked like only one of you went to the spa. I have top status with Hilton & Hyatt. Will use one of them to match to the top MSC status, curious if my partner also gets benefits or not.
Good observation. One of us is more of a spa person than the other however regarding the status match, there was a bit of a mix up and it did not get applied until we were on board and went to guest services to activate it. Unfortunately, one of us (no names mentioned) did not get their status match submitted in time so it didn’t get applied on this sailing. Based on our experience, the status match did not carryover to the sailing partner, despite being in the same cabin. I’d inquire specifically regarding your status match as that part was not overly clear. Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Brooklyn New York, recently I was on that same ship on a 7 day cruise to Canada and my girlfriend and myself also noticed how rude some people were on that cruise, we would stand on line in the buffet restaurant and people would just get in front of us to get food without even saying excuse me and as we would try to get off the elevator people would just rush in without giving you a chance to get off!
It’s unfortunate but I guess if we can’t control it, can’t let it ruin the cruise. Although in our video coming out tomorrow you’ll see we had a a few more encounters to “tolerate”. Thanks for checking out our channel! 🚢
I don’t know what your problem is with the buffet. I was on the ship in January had no problem with the buffet. If you go all the way to the back, they will always tables there with a smaller buffet back there. I love the ship so much I’m going on in August October and December.
Glad you enjoyed and had great experiences but unfortunately every sailing and everyone’s experience is different, this is just ours on this sailing (and we weren’t alone). As we showed, we did find tables at quieter times which was a welcomed change! Enjoy your upcoming cruises! 🚢
What you do at the buffet is you get a table 1st then you go get your food. I never understood the logic of people walking around with their food. Looking for a table. Get your table put the silverware down put a glass of water down and then you get your food and you know where you’re sitting.
Did I miss episode 3 Ocean Cay? I can't find it. Also were you at all nervous in Nassau? I thought there was a travel warning because of all the gang related crime happening?
Try looking for it directly from our channel and you should see it! It was definitely the highlight of the cruise! We didn’t go too far outside the port area in Nassau so we felt fine. Having been there several times we are comfortable staying with a short walking distance of that area. Going out and about much further, it wouldn’t hurt to utilize an excursion if you’re not feeling completely comfortable.
Why do you keep eating at the buffet? Why don't you go to the main dining room? Of course it's going to get cold by the time you get your food to the table. I should do these videos
I've been on 25 cruises. 3x meraviglia with 2 more coming. August 11th next. It's one of the best cruises going. Beautiful ship. Very good food. Only thing is that the Brooklyn terminal is a horror show. Last 4 or 5 blocks take 30 minutes every time. Wait times in terminal were 3 hours then 25 minutes then 1 hour fifteen minutes.
At 14:10 that’s my daughter and I 😊 This was our first cruise. We had a fairly good time. Unfortunately she got sick with a 103 fever after Nassau. So we spent the next two days in the cabin, we missed Ocean Cay. The staff was absolutely amazing though. My daughter has severe food allergies. Our head waiter Uma had all of our meals sent to our cabin since she couldn’t leave. Our cabin steward Jayson made her extra towel animals. We’re going back again in November for a “re-do” lol. The weather for last two sea days were brutal 😟
We did not personally use the main dining room for breakfast or lunch, but our understanding is there are set hours for breakfast in one of the main dining rooms. There is of course the buffet for all meals and many of the specialty and quick service restaurants are available for lunch.
We would consider it as long as it was an itinerary we were interested in. We would not go for the sake of making this ship the destination. We are going to cover the full pros and cons and why we would or would not go on this specific ship or sale with MSC again in an upcoming video as there seems to be an interest in further discussion about MSC.
Yes. Breakfast is great there but lunch is a pass. Mu husband got a bacon cheeseburger which is one of their pre-made burgers with the tiniest slice of bacon ever. It was a sad lunch
This gonna be my last cruise with msc cause they prefer crystals to more free restaurants so u are packed like sardines in the buffett...i just cant get my monry back as they gave us credit for the previous cruise
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any long lines in your video at buffet. And even if there are long lines, I guess you didn't want to wait 30-40 minutes to work your way through them. A half hour wait for food isn't unusual and it often takes that long getting served in the main dining room. But I can relate to your impatience which is why I never use either the main dining room or buffet on a cruise but use only specialty dining or dining in the suite dining rooms.
That’s a great solution for those with those options. Being our first MSC cruise we wanted to experience as much as we could. The main issue with MSC‘s buffet on this ship is how poorly it is set up which leads to mass confusion in crowds to maneuver through. We are very patient people which is why this one stood out over other cruise lines. Thanks for checking out our videos!
I think the whole rude thing is just a high concentration of NYC people who truly don’t know any better because that is there everyday lives in the city.
Good perspective

I hope so too! That’s the balance with this cruise line… The competitive prices still make it a consideration, despite some shortcomings!

Buffet is the best part of the Meraviglia. Can always find a seat.
New subbie here! Really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing!! 🥰
Thank you!
I am heading out on this same cruise in two weeks... and I'm so nervous!
It’s definitely possible to have a good time on this sailing! Have an amazing time and thanks for checking out our videos!
Let us know how it goes!! 🚢
I am on the sailing for the 23rd. Nervous too! MSC gets some REALLY bad feedback.
What you do at the buffet is you get a table 1st then you go get your food. I never understood the logic of people walking around with their food. Looking for a table. Get your table put the silverware down put a glass of water down and then you get your food and you know where you’re sitting.
Yes, that is definitely the way to do it….. when there’s a table available.
We’re taking this same trip Sunday with a group of my family. Not sure what to expect. Was happy to find your videos.
We are sure it’s possible to have a great cruise on this ship despite the hit and miss experiences! Have an amazing cruise! Thanks for watching!
We are sailing on this ship in October. Really enjoying your videos 🐸🐸
Thank you and have an amazing cruise! Hope to hear about it!

There's places that I got off the ship when you thought were stores. It's called the straw market
Oh yes, we always wander through the straw market
I've been to the Bahamas 28 times I could take you for a tour.
We’ll likely cross paths then! Thanks for watching.
Why do you keep eating at the buffet? Why don't you go to the main dining room? Of course it's going to get cold by the time you get your food to the table. I should do these videos
To show what it was like and experience the ship. We are everywhere. Yes, join the club! 😁
I’m going in August. It’s actually my first cruise and truthfully I’m so nervous, it all seems a bit overwhelming
Cruising is great regardless of what shortfalls may exist with any cruise line. They all have their pros and cons. Have a great first cruise! 🚢
Overwhelming is an accurate statement for modern cruising. Definitely take naps. I'd probably step away twice a day just to calm the nerves
Oh My! I am in the same boat as you.. no pun intended. We are going on this cruise in three weeks - my first cruise also and I'm a nervous wreck!
I've been on 25 cruises. 3x meraviglia with 2 more coming. August 11th next. It's one of the best cruises going. Beautiful ship. Very good food. Only thing is that the Brooklyn terminal is a horror show. Last 4 or 5 blocks take 30 minutes every time. Wait times in terminal were 3 hours then 25 minutes then 1 hour fifteen minutes.
I found the buffet completely inedible minus the fruit! 😬
Exactly. Although we often had a hard time finding fresh fruit.
Anyone else get a "Fremont Street Experience" vibe from the promenade ceiling?
Ah yes! Hadn’t thought of that.
We hadn't thought of that but now that you mention it....yes!
At 14:10 that’s my daughter and I 😊 This was our first cruise. We had a fairly good time. Unfortunately she got sick with a 103 fever after Nassau.

Sorry to hear about your daughter getting sick, and then those last couple rough seas days to top it off. Wishing you a wonderful cruise re-do!!
How much was the flight simulator?
Recall it being $6-8 per person
Is there a dining room open for breakfast and lunch?
We did not personally use the main dining room for breakfast or lunch, but our understanding is there are set hours for breakfast in one of the main dining rooms. There is of course the buffet for all meals and many of the specialty and quick service restaurants are available for lunch.
@@OnaCruisewithWilandStephen would you go on this ship again??

Yes. Breakfast is great there but lunch is a pass. Mu husband got a bacon cheeseburger which is one of their pre-made burgers with the tiniest slice of bacon ever. It was a sad lunch
This gonna be my last cruise with msc cause they prefer crystals to more free restaurants so u are packed like sardines in the buffett...i just cant get my monry back as they gave us credit for the previous cruise
Sorry to hear your experience but hopefully some great cruises (with another cruise line) in your future! Thanks for checking out our videos!
Tour guide. WHAT? O could have taken you around. This was 30thb cruise
Good to know!
One thing I would not do is climb those ropes. I'm afraid of heights
Yeah, there may not be a second time. 😂
Why do you keep going to the buffet?
It wasn’t a lot overall but we want to show what it’s like on this particular sailing
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any long lines in your video at buffet. And even if there are long lines, I guess you didn't want to wait 30-40 minutes to work your way through them.

Is there an update?
Next video should be out this coming Sunday!

👍
