Hello and welcome back to a new vlog series.
It’s my birthday weekend and Ian has treated us all to a mini 3 night cruise aboard MSC Virtuosa 🙌
Join us on embarkation day where we give you our initial thoughts.
( I’m sorry a lot of this video is my face 🫣. It was so busy I think I was trying to not film other people up close 😬)
Thanks for watching xxx

Never done a cruise. Watching this vlog as I can't wait for the Florida cruise mystery to drop 😂

@theburgesses2004 2 месяца назад

Haha. Should be up tomorrow x

@victoriamaddocks5644 Год назад

Really love watching all your vlogs 😍 (we love Disney and love cruises too!). Thanks for being so honest, it’s good to be warned!

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Ah thank you. I always say even if it sounds like moaning it’s always best to be honest because otherwise what’s the point xx

@victoriamaddocks5644 Год назад

I agree 100%. It makes you far more relatable too. We’ve booked our first ever Disney cruise for September, mega excited 🤩

Was so nice to meet you!!! Nice to have a Disney chat…. We totally agree with you, never again… I ended up with a sickness bug on Sunday evening…

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Ah I’m so glad you commented. We forgot to ask your names. It was so nice meeting the 3 of you (strange it was on a cruise tho 😂). Love a good old Disney chat. If we don’t see you in Florida have an absolutely amazing time and if you do see us make sure you say hello. Maybe I can convince you to do Tron 🤪 xx

We will be on the ship June 17, 2023 on a 7 day cruise. It is fully booked as well- and honestly, after seeing everyone in your video. I'm a little nervou with so many people on board. Curious what your experience level (Bella, Fantastica or Aurea) did you guys get? This is our first cruise with MSC and only our second so far- the other being Celebrity Beyond. Thank you for posting the video and all your hard work you put in. It really helps all of us future cruisers. Also how was the weather?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Hi. Oh I’m surprised to hear a June sailing is full. I would have thought that would be perfect time for a quieter cruise. I think it all comes down to timing so a few tips.. make note when you’re changing time zone. This caught us out and we ended up at breakfast at the same time as everyone else! If you want to use the arcade don’t wait til the last day. We were in fantastica xx

@MrJocky82 Год назад

Was on this ship last October for a week, Southampton, down to France, then Spain. Phenomenal cruise. So good in fact, that we're going again this October. Great ship, great facilities, great cabin crew. Just great. Brilliant vlog guys

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

I have to agree the crew were great. Always smiling and saying hello. Hope you have another amazing trip this October. Always nice to have something to look forward too x

Well I was considering trying cruising with a 2 night to Guernsey next May on this ship. Thank goodness I watched your vlog. Definitely not booking this one!

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

It’s a nice ship. Just got to avoid the masses which are everywhere 🫣

@forgetfuljulie773 Год назад

Can i ask... in cabin do they supply slipoers, towels, and food wise do they have containers for you to take some food to eat away from the restaurant? Thsnk you.. great video... im going on 26 aug to norway... very nervous😮

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Ah thank you. No slippers in the cabin but you do all get a pool towel and then the usual towels. We found that housekeeping didn’t change the pool towel though but you could swap them up by the pool for a clean one. I’m not sure if there were containers. We took a plate with a plate on top back to the room. I did see someone ask for a pizza box and they were told they were for delivery pizzas only. Oh you will have an amazing time. Norway too. Will be beautiful. Xx

@forgetfuljulie773 Год назад

@theburgesses2004 thank you..

@forgetfuljulie773 Год назад

@garyatkinson5699 Год назад

Where you queuing to drop bags off at the start of the video?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Yes this was the queue to drop bags off then you join the security queue then upstairs for check in. It’s just one long line that you follow. X

@garyatkinson5699 Год назад

Are the bars table service or do you just queue like a normal bar?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

Bit of both I think. I did see people at the bar but I know that people have commented in forums about table service. We didn’t drink from any of them so can’t 100% confirm x

@user-lg7es5gr3w Год назад

May I please ask what are the menu items on the kids menu?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

I only took a quick glance (should have recorded it) I don’t know think it was overly kid friendly but I do have fussy kids. I think a lot of fish. Maybe a pasta and burger. X

@lg2uk427 Год назад

Can I ask how you ended up with a 9:45pm dinner seating?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

The option was early or late dinner. We went with late thinking it would be about 8:30pm. You don’t find out the time until you are given your cruise card. X

@user-lg7es5gr3w Год назад

Did they have midnight buffet everyday? Was it a full buffet?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

The kids think it was just desserts such as cookies, fruit and pizza. But they weren’t looking for anything else so could be more. X

@dbrook7763 Год назад

I would never do a 3 nighter on msc they are renowned booze cruises and queues everywhere just not my thing. Great vlog though

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

It certainty was this! With only the 4 days off and my birthday on the Saturday the timing of this cruise was perfect. We still had a great time. I’m just glad we don’t drink so avoided the bar queues 😃

@michellecrawford7986 Год назад

Hiya, did you try to change your dining time in the end?

@theburgesses2004 Год назад

No. The ship was full so I heard there was no movement when it came to changing times. I doubt there would have been many people who would choose a 9:45 sitting 😬

@michellecrawford7986 Год назад

@@theburgesses2004 Yeah I’m hearing of few people being able to change.

TACKY. red wine with chicken, loud in the corridors at nearly midnight, opening both doors so it whistles right down the corridor waking people. thank goodness i always use the Yacht Club.

You are so right. How terribly awful to pair a red wine with chicken. So tacky 🙄 Enjoy Yacht club! 👌
