Smooth Sailing: A 6-Night MSC Meraviglia Cruise to Bermuda

Bermuda, the island destination of our MSC Meraviglia cruise, is a paradise in the Atlantic Ocean. It captivates with its blend of natural beauty, rich history and vibrant culture.

Amenities, activities, experiences

Our 6-night MSC Meraviglia cruise from Brooklyn to Bermuda was a memorable multi-gen adventure. With the exception of the upgraded stateroom, our group chose no other upgrades, such as the Yacht Club or the Aurea. We still enjoyed:

• Spacious Deluxe Interior Stateroom.

• Excellent buffet selections.

• Attentive staff accommodating vegan requests.

• Entertainment at the 'Broadway

  Theatre.

• Abundant amenities, including whirlpools and a water park.

• Generous time in Bermuda for exploring Hamilton and St. George.

• $50 per room ship credit for our base package; much more if MSC Yacht Club.

Upgrade options include MSC Yacht Club's exclusive privileges and Aurea Experience highlights.

Culinary Experience

The selection at the buffet was excellent, along with the quality of offerings – the wide selection benefitting from the large 4400 passengers sailing. Crew size was about 1400. Our party dined on the buffet for breakfast/lunch & enjoyed the sit-down restaurant for dinners. Some in our party were strict vegans with special requests, and the manager along with our assigned server took personal care with great attitude. The manager also obliged our request to change from early seatings to late seatings, normally not allowed or else requiring a change fee. On separate days,

buffet highlights included my fav salmon lox for breakfast (twice) and lamb chops for lunch; In the sit-down restaurant, one of the dinners included surf & turf (filet mignon & lobster tail).

I enthusiastically recommend MSC Cruises to Bermuda or any of the captivating Caribbean islands. Regarding vacationing, the key is to make every dollar count toward enhancing the experiences that truly matter to you. MSC Cruises offers an exceptional blend of value and quality, from its culinary and entertainment offerings to spectacular sightseeing, making sure that you get the most out of your travel investment alongside a trail of cherished memories.
