Fantastic Fantasia
"A lot of people knock MSC, in my opinion it isn’t fair.If you have any doubts don’t believe everything you read, give them a go first, they offer excellent value for money , particularly for families and the not so seasoned cruiser...."Read More

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

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

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 ...

Discriminating Cruise Line with No Customer Service

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

6-10 Cruises • Age 30s

1. Unprofessional crews are undertrained, ruled, and disrespectful. One crew even threaten to call the police when I asked him questions about my passport status. (They send someone very unprofessional to collect customers' passports). 2. Don't get on the cruise in the first place. And don't purchase any excursions with them!! I booked a shore excursion with the MSC excursion desk. I was ...

Good cabin, tacky show, bored

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

The cabin are very nice. So big pluss for that. Also check in was smoothe. The crew try to push a lot on you, even waiter (they get extra from it) like drinking package or spa or what ever. Its not any fun activity as NCL or RC. Like learning fun stuff, or like quiz in pub, bingo, chess, or nice gatherings like gin tasting or something. Just like try 5 most famous cheap gin for 20 euro. And the ...

Long live Msc Fantasia

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

Msc Fantasia is the greatest ship in the Msc fleet. It is so much better than the new floating shopping malls. Both experienced passengers and crew members love this ship, as it has a unique, wonderful atmosphere. There is not much to say about this cruise. It was perfect. The entire crew was great, the food excellent, the ship beautiful and well-kept. The original Yacht Club on Fantasia is ...

Very poor and disappointed

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first cruise and it has put me off them. The attitude of the staff was disgusting and rude. The cruise was a rip of with alot of hidden extras and then when we complained about being charged extra we were told we were lying and they believed their staff. The kids club didn't have much entertainment or set activities and our children found it boring. We upgraded to the easy plus drink ...

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

We have had a fantastic cruise aboard MSC Fantasia. Everything was perfect. A beautiful ship as always with MSC. Really outstanding service from the crew. There were few guests aboard and the crew made up, by going the extra mile to make us all laugh and feel welcome and entertained. One person in particular impressed me, this is a young man on his first contract and 23 years old called Adi ...

Definitely a budget company

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I have to say that I am not a fan of short cruises during school holidays and my recent cruise on the MSC Fantasia confirmed this. Firstly I commend MSC for the cleanliness and the overall level of maintenance of this older ship. The crew – as on all cruises I have taken were welcoming, full of smiles and ready to go out of their way to satisfy cruisers. Being a round-robin Mediterranean trip ...

Amazing Yacht Club Experience

Sailed with a friend on this winter sailing round the Med from Barcelona, and can't recommend MSC Yacht Club experience enough. From the moment you arrive and make your self know to any of the butlers, you will have the most beautiful time, MSC beat any other cruise line, hands down with the attention to detail and service for YC guests. We booked a YC Grand Suite, which was originally just ...

Good Travel On A Budget!

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

PearlM
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

MSC allows kids under 18 to travel free. It also offers military discounts as well as other discounts, just ask. We were 3 people, me- the mom, one daughter in college, and one daughter in high school. We went in October when most schools are in session, and passengers their ages, especially the teenager, were few. Someone must have cancelled a vacation because we were able to pick up the ...

Perfect Cruise

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Fantasia

marschaller
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

It was our 12th cruise and the 6th with MSC. We arrived to Genova by train and walked to the cruise terminal (around 10 minutes walk). 15 minutes later, we were in our Cabin. Even though the ship was full and most of the passengers embarked in Genova, later afternoon the terminal was almost empty - so everything was smooth and fast. Our cabin was clean and nice, well maintained and ...
