1 Week onboard MSC Preziosa Cruising Northern Europe
Welcome to my new feature length vlog series, 1 Week onboard MSC Preziosa Cruising Northern Europe (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Bruges, Le Havre / Honfleur)! In this episode I’ll show you the check in and boarding process with MSC from Horizon Cruise Terminal in Southampton UK, first impressions of our standard inside cabin and the ship generally, how muster / emergency drills work on MSC, all meals and food reviewed, including the buffet, the main dining room, and speciality dining at Butcher’s Cut, all the bars / venues onboard, drinks menus and prices, drinks packages, an afternoon at the Aurea Thermal Suite, what to do on a sea day and our visit to Hamburg. We avoided all MSC excursions throughout the cruise and did our own thing so I’ll show you all our experiences ashore and how to save money. Let’s do this!

My fave cruise blog channel!
So the thermal area is not the greatest, not equal to or better than the Virtuosa, reminds me of the Splendida. All are mighty fine ships giving a great holiday cruise experience. Reading the comments, that price is excellent, I would love to cruise the Adriatic sea to Croatia, wish one of the newer ships would be there.
Gotta say, you looked as exhausted after eating at Butcher's Cut as I was! I just knew you guys would enjoy the experience. They don't kid around with those portions 😄.
Probably the best review I've seen on Msc. Hopefully the good service and food will continue in part 2!? Looks a bit more civilised than Virtuosa?
Looks like you've had a great start to your cruise. Looking forward to part two.
Thanks for this Jamie, doing the same cruise in January so really good info for us. Can’t wait for next episode 👍😘
Butchers cult?
😂 “plop and snack”, and “Fishphanne” made me howl. Thank you for your hard work, time and efforts to make these videos Jamie. Your videos are brilliant 🙂
Looks amazing! Can't wait for part 2🙌
I just did a very similar itinerary with P&O!! Brugge was my favourite spot, such a beautiful city!
Very timely as I'm going on this same exact ship and itinerary in 5 days.
Hello Jamie and matzo have a great time
We love you both too
Hi jamie when wil part 2 be out
What time does the shops open on sea days
But Starbucks??
You can tell you’re a Plymouth boy. Marksies!
I did that same itinerary back in March on board Euribia. Hoping to go again next year in December to see all the Xmas markets. In Hamburg, we actually walked to the city centre.. it took us around 30-40 min ( very good cardio) and the best thing about the walk is that you get to go underground to cross the river Elbe. The old Elbe tunnel is absolutely spectacular and I absolutely loved the old fashioned lifts .. best thing it’s all free for pedestrians. I’d highly recommend ❤ 🇩🇪 ❤
A week cruising Northern Europe are filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable memories 🌊✨ Thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us! ♥
I dont like the beep for the dril i have poorly ears
Jamie, we are going on Preziosa in Jan and are also diamond members. Did you book butchers cut before your cruise or on board as we want to dine there too. Thanks
Does laconda open for 60mins lunch
Great video, we do this cruise in a few weeks. Question – you mentioned having your Covid passports ready!? I’ve not seen any information on this in my booking – what is a Covid passport!? Just proof of vaccinations? Thanks again 😁
Thanks for the video! Thinking of taking the same cruise in december. Is the MSC app full of information, can you book things on it etc? When do the bars open?
Thanks again!
Perfect timing, we are going on this cruise on Friday, super helpful on the stuff to do in port, thanks!! x
Does he always walk so fast lol seems like he's always running away 😂😂
I'm booking this for Jan. I had booked on Magnifica a few years ago but it was cancelled. Where did you get the MSC mug? It is for voyager club members in your room?
Watch it love this blog and I am watching part 2 now ❤
Thanks so much! We will be taking the same cruise (leaving out of Hamburg) on the 22nd. Also…how cute are you??? Adorbs!! Cheers from Zurich!
Great video as always Lisbon looks absolutely amazing we are thinking of it 2027 QM2
We did the cruise just a month before you guys. We boarded in Hamburg.

I’m on the same cruise on the 10th of January
Thanks for these videos, we're doing the same cruise at the end of January. Do you know what is the best way to get to the maritime museum? X
