You All Told Us Not to Book MSC Virtuosa

You all told us not to book MSC Virtuosa. After reading comment after comment saying “never again”, we decided to find out for ourselves. We booked a sold-out MSC Virtuosa cruise to Norway at the start of the school holidays, expecting crowds, queues and chaos. What happened next genuinely surprised us. Our cruise began with a 2½-hour embarkation queue, a tiny inside cabin, and a ship carrying almost 6,000 passengers. We thought this might become the cruise we regretted booking. But as the day went on, we started discovering something very different from what we’d been warned about. In this first episode, we take you with us from Southampton embarkation through sail away, the buffet, the bars, the theatre, and our first dinner on board. We’re not doing a traditional cruise review — we’re simply sharing the experience as it happens, day by day, so you can decide for yourself whether MSC Virtuosa deserves its reputation. We also reveal how much we paid for this Norway cruise, including a drinks package, and compare it with our recent cruises on other cruise lines. If you’ve ever wondered whether MSC Virtuosa is really as bad as some people say, this is the honest first day of our journey.
