kevg1889 Posted September 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi - We will be venturing on our first cruise on the MSC Fantasia in October, sailing from Marseille. I have booked the shuttle bus from the airport through to the St Charles railway station, but would appreciate any advise on the best way from the station through to the port. We are due to land at 11-50am so I am thinking we may be best making our way straight through to the port, especially with suit cases etc. I would like to board the ship as early as possible, to get our bearings & take in the magnificense of the ship etc So excited, and want everything to fall into place as its a special trip for my DW and I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V&D Mom Posted September 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi, we just came back from Marseille. I believe the fare from the train station to the port for my family of 4 is $27 Euros. On the way back because our hotel is across from the train station, it cost us $60 Euros to go to the airport. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomvet Posted September 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'd take a taxi also. At the train station you are likely to meet other cruisers to share a taxi. On our Fantasia cruise we shared a taxi with a French couple embarking Costa Serena while we were embarking MSC Fantasia. We were dropped off first. The metre said 22 euro so we gave the other couple 12 euro and they then paid the driver the full amount that we estimate would have been 24 euro!

I did a review - you can read it here http://www.cruisingmates.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=270&t=3677 She would be my least favourite ship! Far too big, crowded and far too many Italians! :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracarense Posted September 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2015 When we boarded in Marseille we took a taxi to the port. It's not the cheapest one but it's certainly the simplest and most efficient one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
