very disappointing

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

I had read the previous bad reviews before we left and was hoping that they were wrong but unfortunatley they were all correct. We had previously sailed with Celebrity and MSC is like compariing Butlins with The Ritz with Celebrity being the Ritz.. The main problem with MSC is it is not a cruise, It was a ferry picking up different people at each port who apparently get a cheap deal for a few ...

This was our second cruise they were both with MSC This was a special holiday as we were going to be celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary, but things were made very frustrating from the beginning because even though I booked 8 months ahead I was told I couldn't book our seats on the flight Apparently they block book their clients on the aircraft but only release the names a few days ...

Poor Quality

We choose this ship as it had a great itinary, however due to the hurricane they had to change it. ( not the ships fault) Having been on approx 30 cruises, covering a wide range of cruise ships both large and small I have to say this is the worst ship I have been on and certainly wouldn’t go on an MSC cruise again. Embarkation was poor, you were left to do everything on your own eg register ...

Luxury Cruise Liner or Cross Channel Car Ferry?

This cruise was incorrectly marketed as 15 Nights – “Jewels of the Caribbean – Cruise” from Barbados & see a different Island everyday, with whom we booked As already reported, by others, this cruise is basically 2x7 Nights cruises “back to back” with slight variations bought about by the damage done to certain islands by last year’s hurricanes. This also enables MSC to fill the ship with ...

Special birthday cruise

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

Jillybas
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Chose this cruise as we wanted to re visit the Caribbean and visit different islands. Ship is quite beautiful cannot fault the cleanliness of either our cabin or the public places. We found the staff by and large to be friendly and helpful. I paid an extra 1500 each to up grade to Aurea not worth it. My Choice dining fine but we found we wanted to eat at the same time anyway so we could have done ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

DoogieR
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Initially chose the cruise after seeing it advertised. The itinerary as advertised suited us well as it included islands we had seen before and wanted to revisit as well as places we had yet to see. The cost of the cruise was attractive when the level of services was taken into account. Although we enjoyed most aspects of the cruise there were definite drawbacks mainly with the excursions ...

One for two

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

Chllidog
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because thought we'd be going to 10 different islands in fact we went to 8 islands, a day and 2 nights at sea, three of the islands we visited twice the two French islands we visited was to pick up locals on 7day cruises who were only paying €200-300 and kids went free, so not only was we acting like a ferry service, it felt like we were subsidising their cruise and being used ...

Very Disappointing

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

After looking forward to this trip for some time, and having the itinerary changed due to the hurricane we decided to go ahead with the trip as to put it off until things had recovered would have been too costly (having to pay the air fare again). Our flights with Virgin were good apart from not having seats together with my husband. Embarking ok, but as we were late arriving the safety drill ...

Not for foodies

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on MSC Fantasia

Jon the pipey
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Just returned from a Caribbean cruise on the MSC Fantasia. Where to start, let's go with the good points:- Nice ship, very smart. Room (we had a balcony), pretty good, clean. Bars, pretty good too, with reasonable entertainment, not fantastic but OK. Ports of call OK, but scruffy, not exactly paradise. Bad points:- THE FOOD (apologies for shouting), but it really was terrible. We ...
