Beautiful ship though no library!! Very reasonable priced cruise though add ons expensive on board. Excellent Spa. Exceptional carousel shows & Ballet/Opera productios in the afternoon on sea days fantastic ...recomnend prebooking all. Which you can do some pre cruise & others on board via mobile app or on screens on ship (Note; be aware if Carosel show prebooked prior cruise, you have to ...

We chose this trip because it was no fly, and offered a good value for money break. What went well:- (1) The entertainment shows were excellent and imaginitive with superb dancers.. This included a couple of top class opera shows. (2) Food was fresh, well cooked, and served by friendly waiters. (3) For those that took the drinks packages, dedicated drinking seemed to deliver value ...

I should add that I have done 2 cruises previously with MSC on Seaview and Grandiosa, both times with the aurea package, and always upgrading to the top drinks package. This was a solo cruise and I wanted to have a bit of luxury. It was also a way of testing YC ahead of our Honeymoon in October out of NYC. Arrived at Southampton port (Horizon terminal) around 10.45 and was onboard by 11.20. ...

We chose this cruise (Northern Pearls) as it came up on a 'Black Friday' deal for £399 each for a balcony cabin. We were up for a winter break away, have cruised many times and the thought of rougher seas didnt phase us . We packed for cold and set off. 1. The ship was very well heated - no need for those jumpers! 2. The ship was the most stable weve ever been on. We had a F9 gale and it ...

Chose this Xmas cruise as SOLO price was less than £800. A bargain especially as it was leaving from Southampton.... BUT these MSC ships are nothing but glorified WATER TAXIS. VERY POSH SHIPS, but taxis all the same. . Pick-up and drop-off at every port !!!!! People fighting to board at each port of call, whilst daytrippers are fighting to get off !!! If you can stand the jabber of so many ...

Had a 17 year old nice and mother accompanied us so took this a an alternative (bad choice) kids running everywhere coughing and spreading germs no control like a herd of elephant's Dinner took 45 min with a diabetic so left and went to buffet (no choice) after which no choice but buffet cannot cope with large volume of people Customer service is a no no caught bug and stayed in cabin they ...

This was our 3rd cruise with MSC. In the past this was not a cruise line we would have sailed with but when cruising resumed in 2021 this line embarked passengers in Greenock so we took the opportunity to sail on Virtuosa. Truthfully, last year we were not impressed not the fault of MSC more the passenger demographic however it wasn't a typical cruise so we decided to give MSC another chance and ...

We chose this cruise as it fitted in with our commitments and we had had a good cruise on virtuosa to the canaries at the beginning of may. the package provided good value for money as we had premium drinks and a balcony cabin. we had no problems with the food, drinks or service and the staff were really good. however the entertainment leaves something to be desired. the theatre shows were ...

MSC virtuosa 8 night cruise from Southampton -04/11/2022, balcony cabin no14288. I paid for a shore excursion(for me and my wife) to Mont St Michael(6/11/2022) from Cherborg cruise port. The excursion did not take place and an amount of Euro 165.24 was due to be refunded as I paid equivalent amount in ££s pre cruise. Out of this Euro 137.16 was allocated for on board expenses (and 2 Euros ...

This is the 2nd time i have sailed on this ship and i have also taken several cruises with MSC in the past. My expectations of MSC are quite low however, this time for the price it wasn't too bad and there did seem to be a few improvments. Normally i find with MSC that the food is pretty average, im not a fan of the set dining experience and normally with MSC non of the staff ever seem to know ...
