So first of all arrived today from a 1 week cruise on MSC fantasia, I didn't enjoyed it at ALL!! the food always the same, always the same pizza, the pizza marinara is supposed to have fish on it and it only have herbs and I don't call that a marinara, the plates some of them are broken, the prices of the drinks are very very HIGH! like bottle of pringles 4 euro 80 cents, oh come on!!! they have money from your cards with out telling you for UNICEF we ordered in November 2014 and we wanted a room with a window or a balcony, they told us its fully booked already, our friends booked in June and they had a room with a balcony and a window!. I went to put my daughter in the playroom and they told me only one person can come and play with her, so my big daughter couldn't go in to play with her.The staff some are okay and some are not...but most of them are unfriendly i'm not saying all of them there where few example when I wanted to order a coke I told her and the waiter kept on walking she pretended shes not listening to me, the rooms are very small...from all of the week the cruise arrived all of the ports most of the time where 12:00/1:00/2:00 p.m today he arrived at 6:00 a.m in Malta !! sorry but for me its useless day...anyway thanks but the first and the last on this cruise sorry for the bad english but I'm french and I tried anways..

We sailed from southampton and found embarkation very quick and easy.plus one point . Went for something to eat,not to bad.plus 2 points.i like Italian food so that helped.next we had a drink ,this had no charge as we took the 23 euro a day drinks pack edge.if you like a drink every day I suggest you take this offer as it includes coffee,bottled water,cocktails,spirits and draught beer,and soft drinks and ice cream from the pool bar. (A rum &coke costs 6.50euros for example) so it will not take to long to get to reach 23 euros. As an example we payed 370euros about £310, and we drank about 540euros about £450 of coffee's,cocktails and spirits,beer and cokes, so we came off better. Being a Italian run ship one or two things are different, like no coffee after evening meal,no crackers or biscuits to go with cheese counter,but I can live with that. Other than that everything as was ok except for the casino they aloud smoking in all this area which ment you could be playing a machine and someone sits beside you and you have to suffer with passive smoking right next to you,we'll all around the casino actually which is not very good if you do not smoke, it spoiled it for us. Saying that if you pay for a cheaper cruise you only get what you pay for. Read Less

I was so looking forward to this little break but it went wrong from the beginning. First thing was embarkation. When we arrived I was taken aback that they was a little queue. Was given the number 1 and found a couple of seats. I knew we were in for a little wait as they had just called the number 10 ,ended up waiting nearly 2 hours. When they got to number 20, I think they realised how late it was and just called everyone up so all that waiting was for nothing. We had arrived around half past one and didn't get on the ship until 3.30. While we were walking to the ship , I noticed people with their life jackets going to their muster station.We just had time to dump our hand luggage in the room and go to our muster station. We took the emergency drill card with us but it was not even taken therefore resulting with us receiving a letter saying that we had not attended the muster . I went down to reception to sort it out . The evening meal was a joke. When I woke up the next day,I said to myself that at least I could get a decent breakfast before getting a ticket for the tender.Breakfast was just as bad as dinner. I really couldn't wait to get into Guernsey but unfortunately it was Sunday so most of the stores were not open. We caught the bus(92) which takes you around the island so that was a few hours . Best £2 ever spent. Went back to the ship to get grab something to eat but the only decent thing was the pizza. Never even seen our cabin steward until when we were leaving and I went back to the cabin for something I left behind. We had to leave the cabin by 6.30 a.m but we didn't even leave the ship until 9.30. Read Less
