MSC Virtuosa - Day 1 - Embarkation, cabin tour and Tacos!

Well hello there! Welcome to our latest vlog series onboard MSC Virtuosa!

We begin the day by walking from the Novotel Southampton to the Cruise terminal building. The check in process was brief, with a quick check of our insurance, vaccination, and covid test paperwork.

We had a little incident on boarding from a member of staff; but we discuss that in the vlog, but before we get into that, we head to the pool area to grab a quick cocktail before our cabin was ready! Of course, we also visited the buffet for a bite to eat!

We got into our cabin at about 3pm, perfect for a quick cabin tour! We were in a balcony cabin and we loved it! It was very modern, clean, and comfortable.

The safety procedures on board were very unclear, not one person we spoke to onboard knew what exactly we would have to do for the muster drill / safety video, so we just waited around until finally there was an announcement telling us to head to our muster station and scan our key card. It was very unorganised with people struggling in large queues down stair cases, very odd when MSC were also preaching about the social distancing onboard. Very odd.

Anywho, lets talk Hola Tacos, we decided to go to a speciality (additional cost) restaurant as we were both in the mood for Mexican food. The food served here was cooked to perfection and was so tasty! Dan only ended up eating some beef nachos, but loved those too!

After a brief exploration of the ship, we headed back to the buffet for some desserts, then back to the cabin for a chilled evening. There was a crazy storm outside as we sailed away from Southampton, but made for some awesome photography!
