Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm getting on virtuosa which is one of the MFC ships for New Year

this ship might be familiar to some people this is a metabolia class ship so if you've been on ballistic grandiosa um or metabolia obviously then they're pretty much the same ship

I've never seen it that quick before I was impressed last time but yeah they've blown out the park this time that was really good

I'm really vocal about the fact that I think MFC get quite a bad rap for food and I really don't think they deserve it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get to the back of deck 15 for pizza on embarkation day
βœ“Book specialty dining and shows early to get the best times
βœ“Check the daily program delivered to your room for schedule details

Hello, and welcome to my new vlog series! In this series, I'm boarding MSC Virtuosa for a 7-night cruise to the 'Northern Cities' over New Year. This means we'll be leaving Southampton (England) and visiting Hamburg, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge and Le Havre (Paris), so stay tuned to see what each of these ports can offer you on your travels! In this episode, I've just driven south after spending Christmas in Glasgow, and it's time to board the ship at Southampton's new Horizon Cruise Terminal - I still can't believe the time it took to board...! After getting on board, I'll walk you through MSC's muster drill process, and also give you a flavour to what life on 'day 1' on an MSC ship is really like - let's go!
