Review summary

This cruise was amazing. We loved the MSC Fantasia ship, especially the yacht club with the excellent service and all of the amenities. We also loved each of the ports on this itinerary and we would highly recommend it. We definitely will be back with MSC, and would like to visit other ports in the Mediterranean as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This Yacht Club cabin was spacious with a very large walk-in closet, and a very comfortable bed and balcony. The bathroom was clean and beautiful and the shower was amazing with great water, pressure and hot water. We had daily deliveries of fruit and canopies, and our drinks were replenished in the minibar daily by the Butler as well. This suite was amazing. I would highly recommend it.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Definitely take the MSC shuttle into town and then take the little tram up to the Notre Dame De Garde for amazing views, and a beautiful site. Then stop in one of the little local restaurants for mussels and fries!

GENOA (PORTOFINO), ITALY

5 out of 5
Genoa is an easily walkable port with great little shops and cafés. Definitely get some local focaccia bread and pesto pasta.

La Spezia (Cinque Terre), Italy

5 out of 5
We took the MSC tour to Pisa and loved it! Such a great little town, not far from the port. We had an amazing tour guide, and it was a wonderful half-day tour.

NAPLES (POMPEII), ITALY

4 out of 5
Very large & busy port. Like NYC.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
This is a gorgeous island. I would love to come again. Make sure to stop in one of the cafés and have some paella.
