MSC Virtuosa Embarkation Day - We Got An AMAZING Deal & We Have Caught The Cruise Bug!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document their embarkation day on the MSC Virtuosa, a ship they describe as being nearly as new as the Iona, which they previously sailed on. After driving from Stoke-on-Trent to the Southampton terminal, they navigate the parking and luggage drop-off processes. They highlight the efficiency of the check-in procedure, noting that the transition from security to receiving their cruise cards took less than ten minutes. Upon boarding, they explore the ship's atrium, which features decorative steps and a robot bartender, and discuss the various ways to book activities via touch screens or mobile apps. The creators reveal that they secured a significant bargain through Cruise Nation, paying a total of 678 pounds for a seven-night cruise to France and Spain, which included a free upgrade to a balcony cabin. The video concludes with their first dinner in the ship's restaurant and their experience attending a sail away party, where they participate in dancing and music as the ship departs.
