Creator's Key Takeaways

as otherwise you step into the ship and you're Amazed by it yeah obviously first time for us on MSC so we were already in awe of the ship

I will say bold statement incoming but anybody who says princess have the best pizza at Sea haven't been on an sc ship

it felt chaotic and I commented that if you were somebody who was nervous or had sensory processing issues you'd have felt very uncomfortable

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't join the massive queues for credit card activation; there are plenty of machines available elsewhere on the ship.
βœ“Be aware that MSC muster drills can feel chaotic as they direct everyone to cabins at the same time.

Luggage delivery β€” Don't panic if it's late; they eventually arrived, though some passengers had much longer waits.
App functionality β€” If the app fails, look for physical machines on board to manage credit card details.

YouTube Video Description↓

This is the first part of our MSC Virtuosa vlog series. On day 1 we experience a very busy embarkation and muster drill but are wowed by the ship itself. We joined MSC Virtuosa on Monday 29th May 2023 for a 5 night cruise from Southampton, England during the half term holiday. This cruise was planned to visit Rotterdam, Ringaskiddy (for Cork) and Falmouth and was a sold out sailing carrying approximately 6000 passengers, with over 2000 of those being children. MSC Virtuosa entered service in May 2021 and traditionally cruises from the UK during her summer season. Want to stay up to date with our content?
