6 People in three cabins with balconies for an 8 day cruise starting in Venice starting October 30, 2011 aboard the MSC Musica. Stopped in Bari, Rhodes, Piraeus, Dubrovnik and Katakolon.

Check-in. Although we were not able to use the advance check-in, the procedure was very organized and quick. We arrived at 12:30 for the cruise that left at 4:00. Early, but not too early. The lines to check in were short, and moved quickly. The MSC employees were courteous and helpful. Total check in time was about 30 minutes (or less).

Facilities. It's a nice ship, pretty new and very clean. The cabins were small, but what's new? The rooms have a flat screen TV, a minibar, and both Italian and U.S. electrical outlets. Bathrooms were about average for a cruise ship. Read more
