Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm about to embark MSC's Vua. She's a big girl for a five night cruise from Southampton to Belgium, the Netherlands, and France.
I paid £740 for five nights on board Vitto staying in a balcony cabin. As a solo passenger, I have to say I think that's very good value.
The reviews for food on board MSE can be a little mixed, but don't you worry. I'll be rating every plate with this very handy in food graphic.
I found the staff on board so far to be extremely courteous and helpful.
