Baltic Cruise - Affordable and Average
"Both the MSC shuttle and the City Sightseeing shuttle had “last bus” that left from Little Mermaid statue to go back to the ship 30 minutes before you have to be back on the ship.We were off the ship and on the shuttle bus back to Kiel city center within 20 minutes...."Read More

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

justpat
6-10 Cruises • Age 68s

We (family of 3 adults) just disembarked from our MSC Fantasia cruise (a mediterranean cruise); it was our first time with this company. For more than 20 years, we have done several cruises throughout South and North America, as well as Mediterranean cruises. We have used different companies and ships, but none of them were so consistent in bringing 100% negative elements to the cruises’ ...

MSC Fantasia Review… A huge disconnect

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We sold our house in Canada so that we could travel the world by cruise ships. Our intention is that we could see the world, and report to our followers about the great itineraries, and different ships that are available to travel the world. This blog is about the MSC Fantasia. We boarded it in mid October, 2023 in Barcelona. We will briefly cover what we loved, and what we didn’t love, and ...

Charming Ship - Excellent Value

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

Acton Cruiser
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

Fantasia Charming Ship - Great Price Firstly, let me get the money issue out of the way. Four days for a family of four for just £550. Including Marseille, Barcelona, Genoa and a sea day was excellent value. A charming ship, but not many things for kids to do, away from the kids club. The Ed Sheeran tribute show, was one of the best I've seen on msc. The theatre was spacious and ...

Enjoyable and affordable cruise with minor complaints

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Fantasia

Formal_Cruiser
First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

We had booked a three-day Baltic sea cruise leg from Helsinki to Kiel. This was our first cruise ever (apart from Baltic ferries). Easy drinks package was included in the price and we upgraded it to Easy plus. We enjoyed the cruise experience immensely. All inclusive, including the basic drinks package, was great, cause we could stop counting expenses. We enjoyed trying the different options ...

Great Cruise Line - If you like to do it on the cheap!

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Fantasia

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

MSC was chosen by a travel director thru family members. It was only a 4 day cruise. We had fun as a family, but there were too many negatives to go on this line again. We are not that experienced - 2 Norwegian and 1 Carnaval. The ship itself was ok, lots of mirrors for some reason, make it look bigger? Staff works hard to keep place clean and operational. Best part of the operation. ...

I decided to write a review for our MCS Fantasia cruise because I found there to be a lack of information out there on some basic questions and hope this will help fill in gaps for the next family that tries to partake on a cruise like this. Some of this will be review of the MSC cruise itself, and some other information that might help with planning and execution. Background: We took a ...

MSC Fantasia - 7N Norway cruise review

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Fantasia

nekzaadvakil
10+ Cruises • Age 40s

We just got off a 7N Norway cruise on board the MSC Fantasia from Kiel, Germany. Having cruised multiple times with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess, we were unsure about how we would like MSC, especially an older ship of theirs. We travelled as part of a pretty big group. We had 5 balcony cabins between the 10 adults and 1 infant and fortunately we were all close to one another. We ...

Chaos. Poor communication.

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Fantasia

jpmurphyslaw
First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

It seems I’ve sailed on two cruises with MSC: my first and my last. Problems: 1. Poor communication. Boarding tenders was not announced. No warning of 7:30 lineup. It resulted in a huge missed prepaid reservation. By the time we were shuttles to the harbor, there were only a few hours available. Worst cruise experience ever. 2. Cancelled Olden port. Clearly, MSC had no plans to visit ...

Best MSC Cruise So Far

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Fantasia

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

This was my 2nd cruise with MSC and my first in Europe. It was a nice experience. The MSC Fantasia is a nice ship and the crew couldn't have been nicer. We had a better service experience than we did on our first cruise in the Bahamas. The food was decent in the main dining room and the buffet food was quite good. We had a drinks package included with our cruise fare, which included ...

Food well well below standard, disembarkation process Trieste a refuge nightmare. Never again

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

CapatinVee
6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We found a good deal and brought the extended family. The good: the ship is good enough, lots of cafes mostly closed when you need them. Staff overall good and helpful, some exceptions. Cabins are small and older looking. TV like a postage stamp with white noise. The bad: The buffet is like a crocodile feeding ground. Food mainly carbs and mostly poor in taste. Although the manager was very ...
