This was our 2nd sailing with MSC. Fantasia is just as beautiful as Splendida, with a good layout with plenty of space and is very impressive. We chose this as we saw it as an ideal way of visiting the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
Food and drink:
Always a subjective topic, but we enjoyed what we ate. The main dining room was well staffed and enjoyable. There is plenty of choice but 2nd sitting is a bit late at 9:15 pm. We didn’t need to try room service so we cannot comment on that.
A very nicely decorated stateroom with huge beds,ample space in the bathroom and attractive looking furnishings with expensive feeling and looking drapes.
Though storage in the closet area was a little lacking and the entertainment in terms of TV could be larger. The balcony was huge with minimal furniture, as it was large enough for lounge chairs. However, overall the cabin was extremely comfortable which resulted in a great night’s sleep!
With such an early arrival after an overnight flight I did hope it could have been available a little earlier as others have found, but I know better for next time!
Mutrah is the 'old town' just outside the port and well worth a short walk to explore.
