MSC Fantasia
Once you step aboard an MSC Fantasia, you'll feel the difference true Italian style can make in cruise design. It's in the grand ambiance of our lobbies, many with sweeping staircases. And in the luxury decor of gleaming wood, Italian marble and Swarovski crystal stairs in the Yacht Club. You'll discover the difference in the high quality, tranquility of our luxury spas. Or the ambiance of our espresso bars and the comfortable style of our rooms.

The dress of the day, as decided by the Captain, is published in the Daily Program each day.

Tipping
At the end of the cruise it is international custom to pay service charges to restaurant and cabin staff in recognition of good service. Passengers will receive written communication regarding this in their cabin.

This sign of appreciation, valid on all ships in the MSC Cruises fleet is of course optional. Therefore, passengers may freely decide whether to increase or decrease it, communicating their decision to the Accounting Office before 22.00 of the last day. This Office is at your disposal for further information. For your convenience, should you give no indication to change the amount; the sum will automatically be debited to your final extras account.

Everything was fantastic! We missed a pretty big port- Cannes- because the ocean was too rough for the tender. It was unfortunate - but they had our safety in mind. However, I as many of the other passengers had hoped that they would have had a contingency plan in place- especially later on that afternoon when the water was much calmer. Other than that- things went perfectly. I would also book through Affordable Tours again and Autumn was absolutely great! thanks again for the trip of a lifetime! I will be in touch! Lisa
THE CRUISE WAS SPECTACULAR!!! I WILL RECOMMEND THIS CRUISE TO ANYONE, THE PRICE IS AWESOME, THE SHIP IS MAGNIFICENT AND IS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. YOUNG PEOPLE, ADULTS, CHILDREN IT IS FOR EVERYONE.
We had a great time at the 7 Night Mediterranean (Barcelona Roundtrip) MSC Fantasia! Went on cruises in the past quit often and we did like this trip the most from all of them. We will book the next cruise for (fall time) again with a MSC cruise ship going down to Turkey and Greece. Looking strongly forward to it!
Everything went as planned overall the ship and the staff exceeded our expectations thank you MSC cruises
