Oh my goodness - I've been on multiple cruises on Virtuosa, and have never once queued to get into the buffet - were you there before it opened or something? This is so weird!
Hey 👋, so glad to hear that it’s not usually like this. We went to breakfast at around 9am and were surprised how long the queue was. Thank you so much for watching, take care 😊
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr hey 👋, so glad to hear that! That might be why it was quite chaotic on board when we went, it was the school holidays. Thanks for watching, Take care 😊
My first time watching your videos and absolutely loved it what a great family you seem, I bet you are so proud of your children they are so well mannered and respectful.
Hi 👋, We are so glad you’re enjoying the videos and that’s really kind of you to say, Thank you. We are so proud ❤️ they are great kids 😊 Thank you so much for watching & Take care 😊
Great video,thanks for posting.We are on this ship in 25 days time heading for Barcelona!Gives is a bit of insight into what to expect,our 9th cruise,first on MSC.Going open minded as we’re used to Royal Caribbean so will be interesting to see how an Italian line ship is run compared to an American run one.Wish us luck with the buffet queues!
Hey 👋, We are so glad you enjoyed the video 😊 We hope you have an amazing cruise! We love royal Caribbean ☺️ this was our first cruise with Msc and our first mini cruise and I have heard the longer cruises are different and not as busy! So hopefully the queues aren’t as bad for you 😊 if you can Let us know in the comments how you got on , Have a wonderful time. Take care 😊
I've done 28 cruises, 4 of them msc and have never experienced these problems 😮. I've done 2 from NYC and 2 here in Spain from Barcelona. All were 7 days /12 . It seems the short cruises with msc are BEDLAM 😢!
@@Podgey25 Hey 👋, so glad you haven’t had any problems on your msc cruises it does seem like it’s mainly the shorter ones can be like this. Thanks for watching, Take care 😊
Don’t usually comment on videos but found your channel a few weeks ago and can’t get enough now , content is great your both so likeable and funny but while still being just normal people . Keep up the great work 😊
We had the same experience on MSC Euriba. Buffet breakfast was carnage. I enjoyed the food but had food poisoning. Organisation of tours through MSC were a shamble too. Not rushing back. Enjoy your videos, you seem so happy and laid back. I’ve subscribed. We are FlyDriveExplore on TH-cam.
Hey 👋, Sorry to hear you had the same experience plus food poisoning 😢 Thank you so much for your kind comments and your support. We are so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos 😊 That’s great we will check out your channel, Thank you so much for watching, Take care 😊
Absolutely great video. My wife said your white dress was beautiful. What a nice family. Love your videos. Honest and genuine. Thank you. Nothing but good karma to you all. Looking forward to the next one. ❤️❤️❤️👍
Hey 👋, We are so glad you enjoyed the video & thank you so much for your & your wife’s kind comments ☺️. Both of you Take care and Thank so much again for watching 😊
Went on this ship this year for my 1st cruise experience with my parents was only short one just to get the feel of it but didn't have the queue for the buffet at any time we went did use the restaurant as much as possible through much better service. (Southampton - cork- Portland - back to Southampton)
Having worked onboard many of P&O Cruises ships as a senior officer, they are by far the best cruise line for British guests who want a high standard of cruising. British food tastes, British drinks, afternoon tea, great variety of self service restaurants (many) and of course British styled entertainment. Family and adult only ships plus Britsh unique sailaways.
Hey 👋, We have heard great things about p&o from friends and will definitely check them out sometime 😊 Thanks for heads up & thank you so much for watching 😊
P&O ships all feel outdated compared to MSC, and there like floating retirement homes, all full of old people, and no group party's, loud music allowed and have enforced dress code on some nights, I've done 3 P&O cruises, now I've switched to MSC as there more fun, you can wear what you want and partys all the time, the MSC pizzas are great too.
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr It is a matter of choice my friend. If you like party, party choas, mayhem style go with bling MSC or have a much more refined experience with personal attention, politeness, courtesy and British values, go with P&O Cruises. Just choice and individual requirements...
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr hey 👋, Thanks for your comment we haven’t tried p&o but would like to give it ago sometime, maybe on a newer ship with activities on board. Yes the pizza on MSc was good! We must of just gone at a bad time as the queues to get food/drink were crazy. Take care 😊
@randrtravel Even the newest p&o ships like IONA don't compare to MSC ships, it depends what you want on a cruise. I only use the buffet, and the buffet food on p&o is like a school canteen, thay don't have nice pizza and it's not open all night. I'm back on Virtuosa next month.
Went on MSC Virtuosa last year and was a nightmare in the buffet. Always packed, lots of queues and little space around the food area. Went on MSC world Europa and was better as had two floor of the buffet and lots of space around it. Still busy at times. MSC really need to open more breakfast venues. However the pool area is the best at sea, beats P&O and some royal ships.
Hey 👋, yes we find it really busy on the virtuosa. We haven’t tried another Msc ship but we have tried other cruise lines and they have never appeared to be as crowded. You’re right the ship is beautiful especially the outdoor pool! Thank you so much for watching, Take care 😊
Watching this has really put me off going on a big cruise ship.Could not do with having to que ages to get in for breakfast and the resturant for evening meal looked far to big and busy .
Hey 👋, Totally get what you mean. we have never experienced this when we have cruised before on longer cruises with other cruise lines (Royal Caribbean & celebrity) . We have heard that the short cruises seem to be like this and not the longer ones. We love cruising so much and would definitely recommend it! The longer cruise itinerary’s seem to have more of the cruising experience we know and love 😊 Thank you for watching, Take care 😊
Hey 👋, This was a short cruise I’m not sure if the main dining room was open at lunch but this was the main area for lunch that was included with your cruise fare. Thank you so much for watching, Take care 😊
Cherbourg did look very nice and I’d enjoy that , the ship is very nice and pleasing on the eye , apart from that it did seem so disorganised and questionable everywhere etc , if we do a cruise I think like you have done is do a week around europe or maybe further . Love the videos but maybe this is just not my cup of tea . Keep it real lol
Hey 👋, Cherbourg was really nice 😊 We see what you mean it was a bit chaotic lol We have cruised on longer cruises before with different cruise lines and they have been amazing, we’d definitely recommend giving a cruise a go sometime 😊 Thanks again for watching glad you enjoyed the videos 😊
Why does the UK always look so... dreary and miserable? Not the weather, the towns, buildings, things in buildings, everything. its like you got stuck between the 60s and medieval times.
Hey 👋, haha it can appear that way sometimes but there pretty places here I promise, if you look really hard and it happens to be sunny 😂 Thank you for watching 😊

I did a cruise on virtuosa to cherbourg, I loved it and had no issues with the buffet.
Never do cruises on school hols though.

Hey thanks he is a boy of few words when he’s eating lol thanks for watching!!
enjoyed your videos onboard Virtuosa🤩
Hey 👋, We are so glad you enjoyed the cruise vlogs 😊 Thank you so much for watching, Take care 😊
On a 7 day cruise, i would use MDR once for dinner, buffet after that ! Food is similar i would say! Beautiful ship! PS Ruby, you are truly Angelic!
Hey 👋, yes that’s a good idea. food is similar, a little more selection in the Buffet 😊 Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching 😊
Great video again guys , you always tell us how it is , it's great to get an honest opinion ❤

MSC have not learned from last October disgraceful when cant get food ,we couldn't get a cuppa ! Massive complaint but still looķs the same !
Hey 👋 ,it was hectic to say the least . its a shame as its such a great ship. Thanks for watching & take care 😊
20 mins to wash plus 2 kids and get to reservation, my wife is impressed.
Haha 😂 why Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Is the buffet the only place to eat...people seem to be besotted by a busy buffet and eat nowhere else.
Hey 👋, This was a short cruise I’m not sure if the main dining room was open at lunch but this was the main area for lunch that was included with your cruise fare. Thank you so much for watching, Take care 😊

Go to the back of the buffet - the same food, it's quiet and no queue.
Hey 👋, Thank you so much for the advice 😊 Thanks for watching take care 😊
Do you still queue to get to the back though? We're heading next weekend and dreading the buffet already 🫣
@@kristinehill3111 hopefully you’ll be ok as it’s not half term. We hope you Have a great time 😊
The crepes were delicious well worth the money. The ice cream from there was delicious as well. Generous portions.
Hey 👋, oh we love a crepe & ice cream it’s a shame we didn’t get one. Thanks for watching 😊
@@randrtravel highly recommend if you go on her again.
Love you guys.
Hey 👋, we are so glad your enjoying the vlogs & thank you so much for your kind comment 😊
Take care & Thank you for watching 😊
I am so glad we got room service for breakfast!
Hey 👋, That’s a great idea 💡 Thanks for watching 😊
I avoid the buffet like the plaque
Hey 👋, Yes a few people have said the same. Thank you for watching 😊
