"MSC Meraviglia: The Ship That’s Like a Floating European Holiday (With Unlimited Pizza)" 🍕✨🚢

#cruiseholiday
Hold onto your espadrilles, because MSC Meraviglia isn’t just a cruise—it’s a glam Euro escape where you can sip Aperol spritzes by day and party under Swarovski crystals by night. I just got back, and my inner jetsetter is still screaming. Here’s the scoop:

First Impressions:

Stepping into the Galleria Meraviglia felt like walking into Milan’s fanciest shopping arcade—a 315-foot LED dome ceiling (!!), chic boutiques, and the smell of HOLA! Tacos’ fresh guac 🌮 mixing with buttery croissants from Jean-Philippe Crêpes. The vibe? “La dolce vita, but make it extra.”

The “This Can’t Be Real” Moment:

The Polar Aquapark—a sliding paradise with twisty tubes and ocean views. But the real hidden gem? Champagne Bar’s “Dolce Vita” spritz (prosecco + blood orange = perfection). 🍊

Foodie Heaven:

Butcher’s Cut’s 18oz ribeye ruined all other steaks for me. But the *24-hour* Pizza & Burger’s margherita? A drunken masterpiece. 🍕

My “No Sleep, Just Bellinis” Itinerary:

⏰ 8 AM: Espresso at Jean-Philippe Café (with a side of people-watching).
⏰ 12 PM: F1 Simulator races (crashed immediately, no regrets).
⏰ 4 PM: MSC Yacht Club sunbed nap (with a mojito in hand).
⏰ 8 PM: Cirque du Soleil dinner show (acrobats + filet mignon = whoa).
⏰ 12 AM: Sky Lounge DJ set (danced like nobody was watching… but they were).

Pro Tip:

Book the Carousel Lounge shows EARLY—they’re Broadway-level. Also, Venchi’s hazelnut gelato is life-changing. 🍨

Final Verdict: 20/10, left slightly tipsy, very cultured, and already planning my next MSC adventure. Ciao, bella! 🇮🇹
