Creator's Key Takeaways

The $50 transfer from the airport through Princess to the, you know, over to the port was probably the best 50 bucks we've spent.

MSC's check-in has got to be the worst check-in I've done on any cruise line.

We had far better viewing and lights, as you saw by the other photos, from the ship on multiple nights.

It was a pretty powerful place to go.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the airport transfer from Southampton to the port for convenience.
Check in for Princess cruises within 60 days to have medallions shipped in advance.
Be prepared for variable weather and rough seas in Northern Europe.
Book excursions early and check if bus rides to town are free.
