Creator's Key Takeaways

first impressions aren't bad at all uh it feels more spacious than it probably is because of all these gorgeous mirrors

we are really loving the look and feeling the ship at the moment thumbs up so far folks

the food is nothing to be screaming home about it's nice actually and we remind ourselves that we paid just a little over Β£500 each for the whole week's cruise

the service has been efficient and friendly in fact we've had really good service so far

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Download the MSC for me app to expedite check-in and embarkation
βœ“Use the MSC for me app to access the daily program instead of waiting for paper copies
βœ“Consider not purchasing a drinks package if you have a port-heavy itinerary and find onboard drink prices reasonable

YouTube Video Description↓

Welcome to my new feature length vlog series, 1 Week onboard MSC Preziosa Cruising Northern Europe (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Bruges, Le Havre / Honfleur)! In this episode I'll show you the check in and boarding process with MSC from Horizon Cruise Terminal in Southampton UK, first impressions of our standard inside cabin and the ship generally, how muster / emergency drills work on MSC, all meals and food reviewed, including the buffet, the main dining room, and speciality dining at Butcher's Cut, all the bars / venues onboard, drinks menus and prices, drinks packages, an afternoon at the Aurea Thermal Suite, what to do on a sea day and our visit to Hamburg. We avoided all MSC excursions throughout the cruise and did our own thing so I'll show you all our experiences ashore and how to save money. Let's do this!
