Creator's Key Takeaways
What a luxury it is. to be able to go out of my apartment, take the subway two stops, and board a cruise ship.
I've been on over 40 cruises and having a ship move as much as this ship is moving has happened to me so rarely that I'm asking myself these questions.
I've never been really impressed by the lunchtime and especially the dinnertime buffet selections.
MSSE has greatly improved the quality of their shows.

Cruising from Hamburg to Rotterdam In October of 2025, I boarded the MSC Poesia cruise ship in Hamburg, Germany, to sail up the River Elbe, across the rough and rocky North Sea, down to Rotterdam. Because the ship was docked here in my home port, I took the subway to the port and was onboard in 35 minutes after leaving my home! That is luxurious for sure. Find out more about what happened on my first day onboard the ship in this vlog style video. #cruise #cruiseship #msccruises Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qb5AAbSI9kcjptctjWs1g/join Get my NEW BOOK, "Places, Please!" on Amazon: Link for USA: https://amzn.to/49v7OCd "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09MV7KR5K Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: https://www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Amazon links to my gear, and other fun stuff I wish I had! https://www.amazon.com/shop/veryunofficialtravelguides Follow on: www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides Instagram @MrMorganOBrien Twitter: @MrMorganOBrien Affiliate Links: I receive a small percentage from purchases made from affiliate links that may be contained in this description.
