I’m not the biggest fan of MSC but this ship looks FAB! especially as it seems to change character at night - liked it so much, I’ll keep my future MSC options open.
Another very good video of beautifully-shot scenes. While so many people showed this ship's maiden voyage- you and Cruise Monkeys continuously put out compelling vlogs. Really well done again. Who knew we'd be treated to a Rich Morricone singing experience? ☺️🤠
Excellent tour and I always enjoy the humorous asides. Looking forward to your dining guide. I really like the way you set the tone for each area of the ship with music, just the right touch. Dr Who reference is great, broke out chuckling.
Thanks Lou. Yes, I do try and match the mood with the music. It's subtle, but I like to think it enriches the whole video. Not many people notice, so thank you, the effort is not wasted. :) I always try and put little movie or sci-fi references in where I can. :)
awesome vids! really appreciate once again the quality and focus of the videos without being unauthentic. are you guys on at the same time as the guys from Cruising with Ben and David??
Hi Chakky. Thanks for watching. Yes, we were on with Ben and David. We were both very busy but we had time for a lovely chat because we've known them for a long time now and get on well. :) We're on the next cruise together too! :D
Beautiful. Elegant. Friendly. Refined. None of these adjectives describe me, but certainly do so for this vessel. Definitely Bucket List addition. I’d be running, okay waddling, between taco, sushi and gelato places, and the arcade, jazz bar, solarium and Robot Rob. Wonderful video. Thanks!
An amazing tour video. It's almost as if you were on a different ship to the other cruise vloggers who were also there. Being almost empty was a great bonus for this video. Left me thinking that we should really give it a go next year...whereas as the others left me thinking it's one will pass.
I love your videos, thank you. I've looked at trip advisor and was scared after booking but seeing your videos I'm excited again 😆 did you leave from the UK? Do you know the currency on board and any excursions you would recommend? Thank you
Thanks for this spectacular ship tour 💖 Virtuousa is an impressive looking ship, and the design of each area look brilliantly themed! What was your favourite area?
Great overview :) I agree with almost everything except the theatre which I think looks very dull.. plus.. the performances we saw last week don't match anywhere near broadway/west standard...still entertaining nevertheless. I loved the Virtuosa and would definitely recommend to anyone.
We agree Chris! Far too big for us too, but as it was the very first after the pause, we just had to do it (restricted numbers too, which greatly helped)!
Lovely review as always Rich 👍🏻 But, alas, it’s a hard NO from me. Cruising with 6300 “besties”, I don’t think so. But it’s all Azamara’s fault you see. Yes, let’s put the blame squarely where it belongs. As you know, they spoiled me/you to death. They’ve turned me into a smaller/mid ship addict. And I am only too happy not to seek out an intervention/rehab therapy! 😉😂
Haha! I agree 100% Rob, these mega ships are not for everyone, but it was a great opportunity to get our sea legs back and take our kids for a rare family holiday. Normal service resumes VERY soon! :D
it is a great ship. Fabulous indeed. Too bad edible food is only available in specialty venues. And they are expensive! Dinner for two with steaks - over 150 usd! MSC is all about cheap. If you want to spend extra money on board even wanting to get some decent food, feeling you want some floating shopping mall experience and love huge, modern ships then go ahead, this cruise line will serve you just fine. Food in the buffet is disgusting and so is in the MDR where waiting time is about 2 hrs. When we were there the only drink included for lunch and dinner was ...water. We had drink package (Aurea) but thats not the point. The point is they want you to pay extra for everything. Nothing is included in cheap packages except water and that dreadful food in the buffet. Our Aurea experience was almost 50% more expensive than the regular packages (Bella and Fantastica) Think twice before booking if you're used to the level of service and quality of food you may knowe from Princess, Holland, Celebrity or even Carnival.
Thanks for watching Adrian and yes, MSC seem to have a lot of things to sort out if they're going to have the reputation of Princess or Celebrity. the ship is pretty though and that's all we've tried to convey here. :)
Looks beautiful but not for me. Too much like a shopping mall by the sea. That poor lady was singing so beautifully and everyone was looking at their mobile phones 😩
Thanks for watching. Your comment about the mobile phones is correct but the visuals are misleading. Because all the cocktail menu's are now only accessible via a QR code that you need to scan and look at on your phones, those people (that's Helen and our kids) are actually just choosing drinks. :) And we LOVE the singing in there - that Norah Jones song melts us every time. :)
@@visitwithus awww thankyou for correcting me ,I didn't realise ☺️ I have booked 3 cruises in the next few months,so I will have to get used to this. Great vids btw. You're my favourite channel 👌🏻☺️
This big one surprised me a lot, she´so beautiful and interesting. Great video, as always.
Great video! We are going on this for the first time next year. I can’t wait!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this great video. I think this is the best among all other MSC Virtuosa ship tour videos I have watched in UA-cam.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate your kind comments. :)
I’m not the biggest fan of MSC but this ship looks FAB! especially as it seems to change character at night - liked it so much, I’ll keep my future MSC options open.
Thanks for watching Jeffrey. It was a beautiful ship for sure and I actually preferred it at night. :)
Another very good video of beautifully-shot scenes. While so many people showed this ship's maiden voyage- you and Cruise Monkeys continuously put out compelling vlogs. Really well done again. Who knew we'd be treated to a Rich Morricone singing experience? ☺️🤠
Going on virtuosa yacht club in July - can’t wait! Seen all the UA-cam clips and it looks amazing. Any recommendations / must do’s or have’s??
Our advice - simply have fun 🤩 🎉
Thanks for watching 👍
As always, a beautiful tour. You’re a joy to both watch and listen to. Thank you.
Thank you so much Beth! We are so grateful of your support and kind words. :)
As always a video that is a pleasure to watch...even more than once or twice. Thank you.
Thank you so much! You're always so supportive. 😊 ❤
As we’ve come to expect, a great tour of a absolutely fabulous ship! 🙌
Cheers guys. Shame we didn't spend a bit more time up the bar together - would've been good to have a bit of a catch up and a laugh. :)
It was a great tour :)

Wow, thank you! We do try our very best when it comes to when to film, what to edit in etc, so it's nice to know it's appreciated. :)
Wonderful tour❤️. Can't wait for the premium dining guide.
Thank you! Just editing it now. :)

Happy cruising 🛳❤️
Your videos are so cinematic and smooth. Love it.
Thank you Todd. Glad you like them! We intend to keep them that way too. :)
This is definitely my favorite cruise channel!
Wow, thanks! We REALLY appreciate your support. 😊

Glad you enjoyed it M&J! Thanks for watching. My favourite area? Oooh, got to be Yacht Club of course! :D
Great overview :) I agree with almost everything except the theatre which I think looks very dull.. plus.. the performances we saw last week don't match anywhere near broadway/west standard...still entertaining nevertheless. I loved the Virtuosa and would definitely recommend to anyone.
Thanks Mee. Well, the theatre shows were VERY Italian, but the costumes were top notch. Mind you, I've not been to an actual theatre for so long...
@@visitwithus actually yes..I agree with the costumes. They were beautiful. 😍
Im going on this ship in dec and april instead of preziosa😃 very excited
Oooh, we hope you have a lovely time Jennifer. ❤️
@@visitwithus thank u i love the robot
@@visitwithus i love anything to do with cruising but virtuosa is my favorite ship😃
The Morricone song 😂
I couldn't use a proper audio clip because of copyright issues, so I decided to knock one up myself. 😆
Thanks a lot for this, looks a lovely ship, but too big for us.
We agree Chris! Far too big for us too, but as it was the very first after the pause, we just had to do it (restricted numbers too, which greatly helped)!
Best part of the COVID recovery? More Visit With Us!
How did i miss this comment? Thank you so much! ❤️ Greetings from Antarctica!
