Is the dining experience ok? Any info would be much appreciated It is very easy to board ate Venice there are a variety of options for a transfer from the airport, the easiest is a taxi ~ 60 euros there are also buses if you have plenty of time to kill the water bus, 400 yds from the airport along a mostly covered walkway, takes you on a scenic tour of Venice The most glamourous option but not ridiculously expensive is a water taxi, again from the same place as the water bus. if you go by bus you will need to catch the people mover which is next to the bus station. here is a link o a review of mine which gives a more detailed explanation of the transfer from the airport to the cruise terminal http://www.cruisingmates.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=274&t=4191 here are some other threads which are about embarkation in Venice http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1801709&highlight=people+mover http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1908656&highlight=people+mover hope this is useful to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew were very nice and we felt the food was better than other MSC ships we sailed on (Preziosa, Divina). Wife thought all the fish dishes were oversalted though. Ship is in good condition. Enjoyed the itinerary, Split, Santorini, Dubrovnik and Ancona were lovely. Mykonos was a joke stop and many people did not enjoy their excursion.

Venice was OK. Check in and security quick enough but a lot of sitting around waiting to board. Worth it though! Great cruise! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
