This was our first cruise on an MSC ship
There were 2 MSC ships in Marseille boarding through the same terminal
We ALMOST boarded the WRONG vessel, but an alert crew member saw
the error, retrieved our luggage
and got us onto the Meraviglia
|
|
|
We
were very pleased with the size of our cabin |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The balcony allowed room to stretch out |
|
|
Our
cabin attendant provided critters to keep Joe company |
|
|
|
|
We
were dazzled by all the glitter on this ship |
|

Throughout
the day and night the CGI ceiling of the promenade
created a different atmosphere depending on what was happening now |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During
"Selfie Time" the CGI ceiling showed the people on the promenade
People took pictures of themselves
on the ceiling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many
times we visited the Atrium to simply listen to the pleasant music
|
|
|
There
were activities on the main pool deck throughout the day |
|
|
The main pool |
The indoor "adults only" pool with a retractable
roof |
|
|
Plenty of chairs available in the sunlight
and under cover |
The elevator lobby was so large
that we often
couldn't cross it fast enough |
|
|
An early morning walk around the
whole ship |
|
|
|
|
The sky lounge offers a wonderful panoromic
view |
|
|
|
As
we left the Mediterranean the Captain announced we would be passing
the Rock of Gibraltar
At first we planned to view it from the Sky Lounge
|
|
|
However,
the view was better from the main deck |
It
rose from the sea in the distance |
|
|
We
braved the wind to get these pictures
Remembering my Dad's WWII diary about seeing the Rock for the
first time
|
|
|
Beautiful
sunrises became a common sight |
|
|
Six
languages were spoken onboard and classes
were offered to those who
wanted to learn them |
The
Captain visited during Spanish class |

The
dining room was not visited by a UFO
It was a reflection of a ceiling light fixture

Evenings
onboard were also beautiful |
