MSC Fantasia Review

Additional details
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary. And I would have enjoyed a few more days in the region. Especially would like to spend more time in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ship had the easiest embarkation and disembarkation procedures of any cruise I have been on. Food was OK, and the Gelato stands where ice cream was available was wonderful. Drink package was a good deal. WIFI package NOT a good deal, since I was seldom able to access the internet Very poor reception. Didn't matter where you were on the ship. Don't waste your money on WIFI. Every port had free WIFI at the terminal and this was quick and efficient. Entertainment was mediocre and not enough activities at night for younger people. However, my group enjoyed relaxing in the evening listening to the piano player. Public areas were lovely. Service in every section was very good. Port excursions were excellent. I was disappointed in the quantity and quality of items available in the ship's shops. Much less than I expected to find, especially from such a unique region.
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
room was fine, although lacking significant storage space for 2 females! Only drawers/shelves were in the closet! Could have used some hooks around the room to hang hats, robes, etc. Small, but adequate balcony.\
However, my main complaint has to do with WIFI. Although I purchased the 7 day package, I was rarely able to actually access the internet, It made no difference whether I was in my cabin or one of the public rooms. My advice: for this region DO NOT BUY SHIP'S WIFI PACKAGE. When ship docked, free wifi is available port side.
