We did that one and it's truly beautiful. As we sailed through the fjords we actually went through low lying clouds like cotton wool. Just be prepared for lots and lots of fine misty rain. Next to no shops open on a Sunday. Eat on the ship because food and drink is insanely expensive. A slice of pizza and small soda was 35 euros in a basic cafe! Also have plenty of camera space because every view gets better than the next. You will love it.

Thanks for sharing your mini cruise with us. Such a fair price. I've been on a cruise before, and the tips about what colours and clothes to pack is spot on. Tip for you: if you have a hairdryer you can get rid of creases by dampening the fabric (shirt) along the crease with the tips of your fingers, so it's not too damp, then blow dry with a hairdryer.

Enjoyable thorough review, thanks. We had completed the whole trip in early November, really enjoyed the port visits, ship and crew. But overcrowding and dining room were a problem; speciality £££ dining very good though... I'm not sure I'd do MSC again in the winter, it felt like a busy cross channel ferry at times- which it almost literally was given the itinerary. L'Atelier bar never ceased to entertain and water us nightly, really good. Great value I guess.
@Krypto648 ай бұрын
That was fun, we’ve been on the MSC Virtuosa, it was our first cruise post-Covid so we were very excited. One thing that could make your cruise cabin experience even better - magnetic hooks, seriously, they’re a game changer. You can buy big ‘uns or small ‘uns online and they attach to the metal walls - perfect for hanging your knick knacks. Our next cruise is to Iceland and the Faroes on the Ambassador Ambition next month, followed by Alaska on the Norwegian Sun in May, and in August it’s Amsterdam and Antwerp, again on the Ambition… if you’ve not tried Ambassador, I think you’d like it, it’s very British, with tea bag crafting and the like!

I just came back from a 5-night cruise with MSC Fantasia to Italy, Spain and France for €55 per night for a solo traveller (mandatory tipping included). I booked the cheapest inside cabin and was even upgraded to a balcony cabin due to low capacity in winter. The weather was also lovely in Barcelona, Marseille and Cinque Terre, with clear sunny sky despite being the "colder" days of the week (12°C instead of the typical 18°C). For this price, the experience was simply unbeatable. In Italy alone, a 4-course dinner with a starter, meat/fish 1st dish, pasta 2nd dish and a dessert probably already costs over €30!

@@MrCarrington the trick with MSC is to book from their USA website (and pay in USD), or other US search engines/travel sites. It seems they are trying to expand their USA market, hence prices/deals are sometimes better
