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!
