Creator's Key Takeaways

we've never cruised with MSC before we've never cruised with anyone other than virgin before

the reviews weren't the best if I'm totally honest with you um one person said that there were two words to describe the MSE virtuosa and that was cattle market

we're only doing a two-day taster one and we are very aware that 2day shorter cruises generally will attract more of a party Vibe

first impression go that is the smoothest checking process we literally did not stop walking

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book parking at NCP for security and convenience
Arrive early for check-in to avoid crowds
Keep an open mind when trying a new cruise line
