MSC Musica Review

Additional details
Before we went, we read the reviews here: Poor service, cold dinner, bad attitudes... So we were prepared. But things has changed, even from recent reviews.
The pluses: Great itinerary: A stop each day in some of the most beautiful places in the planet.
Here is what we read, and what we found:
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
On the left side, or port side... perfect for this itinerary... Best side for view and great photos! Loud engine noise as we were in the back over one of the propellar, but we got use to it quickly.
Port Reviews
Venice
Wow. Once we figured out the valporeto and directions and the stops.. it was easy as pie navigating the city! There should be a guide JUST on how to use the valporetos!
Santorini
Hop a boat directly from port to northern city of Oiai. Boat and bus ticket was $10 euro. Spent 2 hours in Oia, and take bus back to port... spent 2 hours there, and took cable car down.... Wait at cable care was horrible. From 3:30 we didn't get to the boat till 4:20. Officially, last shuttle boat to the cruiseship leaves at 4:15.. but they keep runnning till well after 4:30. Next time, we would walk down the steps if we knew they existed.
Corfu
Too little time. We wanted to go to the beach... and fortunately.... a man pointed us to a little local "beach" behind the museum of eastern art. Swam for over 1 hour, then walked around the town. This beach is very close to the MSC drop off point for their bus. Other cruises drop folks off the other side of town, nearer to the new fort. MSC left us near to the old fort.
If we had went to the good beach on the other side of the island.. likely would not have enough time to tour the city.
