MSC Fantasia Review

Additional details
We embarked the 11 night cruise from Genoa on December 17th, and what an amazing time we had!
My partner and I have cruised with MSC before - firstly on Fantasia and then Lirica. More recently (October 2015) we had a terrible experience with Norwegian on Epic. The experience with Norwegian got us thinking as to whether cruising was still for us - we had apprehensions that perhaps MSC had changed and wouldn't be as we remembered it. How wrong we were!
Embarking at Genoa was slick and quick, we were shown pretty much straight through check-in and onboard the ship. Our cabin wasn't ready (it was only about 11:30) so we went up to the top deck aft (Gaudi Bar) for a strawberry daiquiri and sat in the sun.

Port Reviews
Genoa
looks a nice place to spend a day

Beautiful place, would go back for a land holiday

We had visited Athens before on an excursion so didn't bother this time. The hop on hop off buses are good
Rhodes
Nice medieval castle

Some beautiful roses even at Christmas time!

Take the bus or train in to Rome - check the times regularly though
