I was a "first time cruiser" when we did a cruise on the VIRTUOSA .We had nothing to compare it with but we had a wonderful time.We were all inclusive with an out board cabin and cannot fault the cruise in any way.Food was good staff were very civil and the drinks just kepy flowing.Will go again when conditions are suitable.

Hi Dave! 👋 We’re so glad to hear you had a great time on your Virtuosa cruise. There’s really nothing quite like cruising! 😃 While there can be minor issues, they’re never enough to spoil the experience for us. Be sure to let us know which cruise you decide on next when the time comes! It might be tough to top your first cruise now! 😉

Just got back from a 7 day Norweigan Fjords cruise on the ship! Mind blowing! Worth every penny! Great food, and staff were all friendly!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

We're really glad you enjoyed your cruise on Virtuosa! And the Norwegian Fjords are a stunning place to visit! 😍 She truly is a beautiful ship that we believe offers extremely good value for money. MSC's food sometimes has a bad reputation, but we enjoyed all our meals! Can't argue about the staff - very attentive and can't do enough for you! 😃

[@JohnWayne-w2g]

@@NamyDoesCruising The food was great, the Minuetto restaurant brunch, was delicious! The pizza was addictive!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

@JohnWayne-w2g No-one does pizza like MSC!! 🤤🤤

[@sueglen3726]

Really enjoyed this. We're on the Virtuosa for the first time this coming October!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thank you so much for watching, and glad you enjoyed it! 😃 Oh fantastic! Where are you cruising to? We're sure you'll have a fantastic time! 😊

[@TheDoddolds]

Fab video guys! Hilarious! The ship certainly looks like a quieter vibe so far compared to our 2 nighter!!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching! 😃 Can imagine it being quite "booze cruise" like on a two night cruise!!

[@MarkOliverLee]

Hey you two…Enjoyed watching and reliving our embarkation day!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching Mark! 😃 It's a great way of reliving our memories! Feels like forever ago now! 😭

Thanks for having me guys, was a right laugh! 😂🎉

[@NamyDoesCruising]

It was a pleasure to hang out with you for the week Craig! 😃

[@Radishhead]

No idea why so many negative comments, this video is a great mix of personal and informative. Something I was a bit nervous about was queues at the bar, as the ship looks very busy! I can see that your group didn’t have too many issues getting drinks 😂 Did you have some preferred bars that were a bit quieter to get drinks more quickly?

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😃 Guess you can't please everyone.... We found it useful to use the Solarium bar when the weather was nice, as that tended to be much quieter than the main pool bar. But the pool bar is a good option for a warm evening, as you can normally get served fairly quickly. However, the bars inside was pot luck! 😂 But the L'Atelier bar was probably one of the best for getting served inside a bit quicker. We do have a video coming out on Sunday, where we visit a lot of the bars onboard - which might be of some help to you!

[@Radishhead]

@@NamyDoesCruising thanks for the info! Do you remember roughly what time the majority of the bars open? I like to be sipping beers throughout the day when I’m on holiday 😅

[@NamyDoesCruising]

@Radishhead You're welcome! We actually have the daily programme from when we were onboard. Could take a photo of it and send it to you via email or Instagram etc....? Let us know! 😊

[@Radishhead]

@@NamyDoesCruising or I’d most be curious to know when Masters of the Seas opens :)

[@NamyDoesCruising]

@Radishhead Normal hours for Master of the Seas were 11.00am to around 1.30 / 2.00am. Hope that helps! Plenty of time to get those 🍺 in! 😂

[@cruisingandexploring]

Great entertaining video guys, look forward to seeing how the rest of the cruise goes 😉

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching! 😃 It's certainly an interesting cruise! 😂

[@stubear35]

Great video guys. Your friends looks fun. Tea in a nightclub. Just what I would do to perk me up. Lol. I like the style of the video. 👍

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching Stu! 😃 Haha, they are certainly characters! At least you wouldn’t be the only one, we’re sure Mel would join you with the tea lol! 😂

[@sophiestonecomposer]

Best video yet guys! Well done! 🎉 p.s. I'd be there with Mel with a cup of tea in the club 😂

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching Sophie! 😃 Are you sure we can't tempt you with a little 🍷 or a 🍹 instead?! 😉

[@Bobby-uv1xf]

Hi Guys, great intro looking forward to seeing more...👍

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the start of our new series! 😊

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

Drinks package? Thats surely a must? Beautiful ship! Few weeks now..

[@NamyDoesCruising]

A drinks package is a must for us! Especially with the good value ones that MSC provide! She is certainly beautiful! 😍 Not long at all! Where are you visiting?

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

@@NamyDoesCruising Norweigan fjords, on the Virtuosa! Balcony and PDP! 3 sea days in a 7 day cruise, so i will need to bring my drinking hat, as there are a lot of drinks i want to try!

[@NamyDoesCruising]

@@wellifthemediasaysit That sounds amazing! 😍 We love the Fjords! Plenty of drinks to try on MSC, so you shouldn't be disappointed! 😉

[@CherylelaineRayment]

New to the channel. Can't wait to see what you get up to

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thank you so much for watching! 😃

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Thanks for the video! Do you know if passengers are allowed to take their larger luggage on themselves?

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Thanks for watching! 😃 Not as far as we know, although you can self-disembark where you can carry your main luggage off yourself.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@NamyDoesCruising Thank you for responding. I just don't want my luggage coming up missing, since I need it for 5 more cruises afterwards. 😳

[@NamyDoesCruising]

@GlobalAdventurer You definitely don't want it going missing then in that case (if you pardon the pun!).😂 Sounds like you have some fantastic trips planned! 😃

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@NamyDoesCruising Yes I do! I'm taking a large pelican suitcase because it's actually waterproof and damage proof. I have 4 Queen Mary 2 cruises and 2 MSC Virtuoso cruises back to back. I'm going to just walk through security with it and if they don't say anything I'm not asking. 😀 It's the "Pelican Air 1615 Trvl". 🙏🤞

[@alisterpoole]

What date was this cruise ??

[@NamyDoesCruising]

We were onboard June 22nd - 29th 2024.

[@sandrahughes673]

Sorry to be a Karen but this was no use to a potential first time cruiser 🙈 No information, but lots of messing about. Sorry didn’t finish the video 😢

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Sorry you feel this way. We try and include as much information as we can - you may have found out more if you'd watched more of the video. But at the same time we also want to show what it's really like onboard for a potential cruiser. We understand that our channel won't appeal to everyone, and that's fine 😃 Thanks for watching anyway!

[@jonhughes2346]

Are you lot 40 going on 8 🤣🤣,

[@NamyDoesCruising]

Cheeky bugger! 🤣🤣 Two members of the group are in their 40's, but the rest of us are in our 30's and 20's. But to answer your question, yes we probably all are going on 8! 😂

[@cruisecrazy7066]
