P&O for me
P & O for me. 👍
Msc for us
Great work as always 4B’s and on this one, I’m loyal to P&O. Considering where we go next with them!
I prefer the glamour of MSC 😊
Another great vid from the Bs. Hard for me to pick which one I’d prefer but if u put me on the spot I’ll go for MSC.
What’s your favourite MSC or P&O??

We have just been on Virtuosa for 2 weeks and couldn’t wait to get home, the amount of people on these ships now is horrendous, couldn’t get a seat or drinks we ordered so definitely P&O all the way for me .
P and o for me I am on my own and to echo what you mentioned I feel safe and relaxed.
Only cruised royal before but considering another line next year due to price hikes. Good info thanks!
Hi, great video and really informative. We are due to sail on MSC Virtuosa in Oct and have done P&O Iona and Ventura, which for you would you say is better, Iona/Virtuosa?
On Arvia September, only done Brittania a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed both breaks.
Have you tried Marella?
This is a very fair assessment of the 2 cruise lines.
I completely agree with the small venues on MSC, Iona/Arvia both have more views of the sea from inside the ship.
The buffet on P&O is shocking, MSC win this hands down.
This is such a good idea for a video. I'm all MSC'd out for now I think, but keen to try more P&O next year!
Very good and balanced assessment I think. I can only talk from an MSC perspective (Aurea and YC on Meraviglia) and sailing in the Med. Yes very busy at times (obviously not in YC) but definitely have the WOW factor and given we have teens in our family both the activities and late night parties went down really well. P&O seems a higher level version of Marella and seems to have similar entertainment. Definitely more traditional. Perfectly good I think for couples but not so engaging for families. We did find that many of the smaller bars (in particular the pub) and sky lounge were actually quite empty when we sailed the med last year with MSC….maybe that was to do with the large contingent of italians and spanish.
