Creator's Key Takeaways

We were very, very surprised. I'd say blown away actually given that it was the middle of a school holiday.

It was cheap. It was cheerful. Um, we've had chats with people since. And yeah, we might even go back or something.

I would definitely do a British Isles cruise. Um, obviously being a British person, you sort of most of us fixate ourselves on the weather.

We've done three night cruises with MSE and we found this one a lot more organized.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book drinks packages and dining packages in advance with MSC to save money.
On embarkation day, go straight to the water park to sign the waiver and get your band early.
