Cabin: Balcony Stateroom

We booked this cruise as it was an excellent package and destinations we wanted to revisit. Having read reviews of MSC in general and MSC Magnifica our expectations of good anything was not high. However our overall experience exceeded our expectations; would we travel with MSC again - yes if it was a good deal. We choose the Fantastica experience but the Bella experience would have suited us as we didn't used any of the spa//enrichment services.

Check in was extremely good and quick. Disembarkation a little chaotic.

Cabin on deck 11 (Ischia) aft; nice comfortable cabin, efficient cabin steward. Shower curtain needed hanging properly, not all the hooks were in use, not a problem though and it was clean. Tiny TV and the remote control wasn't always responsive. So over all cabin good and a couple of small niggles.

Port Reviews

Le Havre

Take shuttle into the center. If you want to go further afield then you would be best taking an excursion as there is little opportunity to go further on public transport easily.

Brugge (Bruges)

Lots of ways to get around independently once you exit the port. Buses to Brugge, tram to Blankenburg (easy train service from here to Brugge) and beyond.

Hamburg

Easy and cheap, take the bus no.111 right outside the terminal, can get you into town (with metro) or directly into Hafencity (old dock area) lots to see and do on your own.

Amsterdam

Easy walk from ship into centre or tram service (get a day rover ticket), use on buses as well.
