Creator's Key Takeaways

I've arrived at Horizon Terminal uh in Southampton, and behind me is the incredibly large MSC Virtuosa.

I'm not feeling quite so much on my own and uh enjoy the journey with me.

I have to say that was fairly quick. Um so well done. No stress there. All very simple.

I'm a little bit disappointed again. I was told at reception that my room would be ready at 2:30 p.m. It is 300 p.m. I have just come back expecting it to be done. But no.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a few notes or post-its to keep track of bookings, as they may not appear on the MSC app.

✓Expect long queues for drinks and services; consider using soft drink stations to avoid waits.

✓Be prepared for potential delays in cabin readiness and plan accordingly for muster drills and dinner.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin readiness and cleanliness — Be prepared for possible delays; check room upon arrival and report issues immediately.

Navigating the ship and booking activities — Use interactive screens for bookings and keep notes, as the app may not show all reservations.

Muster drill chaos — Expect crowding; consider waiting a few minutes after the drill starts to avoid the rush.

YouTube Video Description↓

This is my experience and is not going to be the experience of many others who will have loved the cruise and will not have experienced the same horrors that i did. I joined a 2 night mini cruise, alternatively known as a booze cruise from Southampton visiting Le Havre. I was determined despite being solo for the first time to try and enjoy the whole experience and to embrace the party atmosphere on the ship. I wanted to keep the footage fairly raw and to take you the viewer along on my journey. I do apologise that this is a very long video and i have toiled with the decision to split it in two but i do feel the flow will not work as well if i was to do this. This video only covers my embarkation and approx 5hrs on the ship which is where all my problems occurred with an unavailable cabin, a filthy toilet and a very chaotic muster. My experience of the ship after this period which will follow in my next video will hopefully highlight something different to report. Thanks for watching, happy to hear your views of MSC and Virtuosa so please place in comments below. #horrorstory #review #cruise #cruiseship #travelvlog #entertainment #msccruises #mscvirtuosa #filthy #toilet #muster #chaos #midatravel
