Creator's Key Takeaways

we had a little incident on boarding from a member of staff; but we discuss that in the vlog

it was a really easy walk over from the no hotel yeah that road wasn't as bad as actually the main road was back across

the staff would say excuse me you'd move out the way and uh they'd go through and then we got to just before we was about to walk over the final bit

we've got a drinks package included so we won't be touching that but we might ask if they can actually empty the mini fridge out

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask staff to empty the mini-fridge to use as a working fridge instead of a mini-bar
βœ“Bring your own conditioner as the cabin may not provide it
βœ“Get milk from the buffet if you want tea with milk in your cabin

Well hello there! Welcome to our latest vlog series onboard MSC Virtuosa! CHECK OUT OUR VIRTUOSA PAGE HERE: https://www.georgeanddan.com/virtuosa We begin the day by walking from the Novotel Southampton to the Cruise terminal building. The check in process was brief, with a quick check of our insurance, vaccination, and covid test paperwork. We had a little incident on boarding from a member of staff; but we discuss that in the vlog, but before we get into that, we head to the pool area to grab a quick cocktail before our cabin was ready! Of course, we also visited the buffet for a bite to eat! We got into our cabin at about 3pm, perfect for a quick cabin tour! We were in a balcony cabin and we loved it! It was very modern, clean, and comfortable. The safety procedures on board were very unclear, not one person we spoke to onboard knew what exactly we would have to do for the muster drill / safety video, so we just waited around until finally there was an announcement telling us to head to our muster station and scan our key card. It was very unorganised with people struggling in large queues down stair cases, very odd when MSC were also preaching about the social distancing onboard. Very odd. Anywho, lets talk Hola Tacos, we decided to go to a speciality (additional cost) restaurant as we were both in the mood for Mexican food. The food served here was cooked to perfection and was so tasty! Dan only ended up eating some beef nachos, but loved those too! After a brief exploration of the ship, we headed back to the buffet for some desserts, then back to the cabin for a chilled evening. There was a crazy storm outside as we sailed away from Southampton, but made for some awesome photography! Don't forget to like, and subscribe for more cruise content coming soon!
