MSC Fantasia is a ship that clearly shows its age. There are some positive aspects, but overall the structure and facilities feel outdated. Spaces and logistics: we were accommodated at the bow, while the main restaurant was located at the stern. Reaching it was an adventure every time, as the only route involved using stairs, which was inconvenient, especially with a stroller. The elevators were often crowded and inefficient, to the point that we frequently preferred to go up and down on foot. General condition: in several areas the ship shows signs of wear. Some glass panels were missing (for example in front of the “Golden Circle” elevators), the carpet was full of dust despite the constant effort of the cleaning staff, and in the casino some tables even lacked card shufflers. Common areas: the sun loungers by the pool are now too old. The same applies to the ping-pong tables and children’s play equipment, which should be replaced. It is understandable that the ship is old, but certain elements could be easily renewed. Conclusion: thanks to the dedication of the staff, the service remains satisfactory, but the ship as a whole would benefit from modernization. Targeted small investments could greatly improve the onboard experience.

A very nice ship, but with some room for improvement in entertainment and a bit of technical maintenance.
Beautiful ship
A bit old but still efficient
Nothing to say about the ship itself, but more attention to details is needed: whirlpools not working and food scattered all around the pool area.
Beautiful and well-kept ship, though some flaws are visible due to its age. The staff is polite and helpful. The only drawback: hardly anyone speaks Italian, so communication can be difficult for those who don’t know foreign languages well.
Fantastic
Very beautiful
VERY COMFORTABLE
Old-style ship but still very beautiful
More than positive opinion
The ship is beautiful but there are some things to be reviewed because the cabin cleaning service is excellent, some problems with the buffet service by the bar staff, often absent because maybe it's organized badly.
The ship is truly beautiful. The only flaw: the hot tubs often didn't work (they were turned off).
Really big but very full. Practically everything works perfectly
Too crowded
Dated ship that should do less demanding and much less expensive routes. In the cabin with a balcony I made recordings of structural noises that could drive anyone with insomnia crazy. Luckily we adapted, because the idea of changing cabins to risk not improving the situation made us desist from requesting it. In short, too much money for such a poor product
Very beautiful and well-maintained ship
Beautiful, good services
This category of ship is not bad: modern, comfortable and with a good range of services. Some aspects, however, need to be improved, such as the management of overcrowding and the efficiency of some services on board. The ship needs more maintenance: on MSC Fantasia the noise during departures, maneuvers and docking was excessive, with significant disturbance even inside the cabin.
