YouTube Video Description

And here we go! It's day 1 on my MSC Virtuosa cruise and we experience check-in and embarkation for Yacht Club (on board by 10.10am with hardly anyone about!), my first impressions of the ship, how you might spend a morning in Yacht Club when you embark including all the perks, a first look at my deluxe suite, pool-and cocktail time in the autumnal sunshine, al fresco lunch, how muster works on MSC, out and about on Virtuosa, dinner at the Yacht Club restaurant, my views on the paid show Ajedrez, too much to drink and a cheeky visit to the late night buffet!
