A beautiful ship, first gracing Miami into the 2020 season and calling to port among cities of the Northeast. It is, at the time of writing, the largest ship to port in Manhattan! Fitting for the flagship of Meraviglia Class vessels.
Expect the amazing luxury meets boutique feel of the MSC Yacht Club alongside fantastic entertainment developed by Cirque du Soleil exclusively for MSC Cruises. The ship will also be among the first to call to port at the Ocean Cay Marine Reserve when it opens in late 2019.
Planning your cruise
Deck plans
Dress code
MSC tries to manage a simple set of guidelines for their sailings, with casual dress being the bulk of your necessary packing. Expect 1-2 formal "Gala" nights, with 2 being more for week-long itineraries. You'll likely be most comfortable with some casual dress for the day, including flip-flops for the pool decks, but something closer to country club casual for evenings. Themed nights are frequent and fun! Floral patterns or various color-themed events occur on many sailings, such as a 70s music night or MSC's White Party. As with many modern cruise lines, expect to keep the swim wear out of the dining rooms and that you'll need footwear everywhere except the top deck.
Gratuities
MSC's incredible Meraviglia features a per person daily rate of US$12.50 for passengers aged 12+ and US$6.25 for children 2-11. MSC does not charge a service fee for infants under the age of 2, just remember that age is measured from the date of disembarkation. Select itineraries such as MSC Grand Voyages or MSC World Cruises can carry a different rate applied in euros, €10 per person for guests 12 and up, €5 per person for children 2 and up. You should be able to settle or adjust your account up to the final night of your sailing.
