Review summary

I've done 2 cruises in Australia, 2 in America and now 2 in Europe with MSC cruises.Musica& Fantasia was amazing experience with a 4000 passenger,its a big ship with pools and many hot tubs,but never found it to be crowded as many areas to relax around the ship. I chose to use pool at back of ship, as it's was more quiet there as children with nappy on, wasn't allow in the pool there. Would have prefer a over 18 pool area only, but this ship didn't cater for that. The staff were amazing, from dinner, room, pool staff were great.Reception staff were not the best to deal with, you call up and they don't my return calls to me or l don't get requested items to my room, after 3 hours of waiting. My room was a suite at the front of the ship, where I could see ahead, just like the captain could see. The views were amazing.Room was spacious with a walk in robe, loved having all the room in the wardrobe.The bathroom was nice and comfortable to use. Johno my cabin steward was excellent and provided a clean room on a daily basis.Dining experience was excellent with great menu with good quality food ,huge portions and waiters were wonderful.l would recommend a drinks package to be booked from home, so much cheaper then buying your drinks at dinner as there's the 15% tax on top of all drinks. We booked only two tours from home,cinque Terra and palmer de malcora dinner show, show incredible! Don't miss the show with dinner. Cinque Terre was my favorite, Beach's were stunning! If you don't book a tour from home, there is cheap tours to book with locals, when you get on the ports. Cheap as 10euros per person. Drivers were very reasonable to book on port too, we had one in Athens and palmer de malcora. Overall this cruise was excellent with minor staff isuues at reception. I would highly recommend the fantasia any day,the boarding experience was excellent and even disembarkation day, was so well organized and got off the ship in 30 mins to walk or taxi to genoa train station to board our train to Milan. Don't miss fantasia ship. Ciao tutti ELISA Australia
