It's our first time on MSC cruises, and we're preparing for our forthcoming cruise onboard the MSC Poesia and we thought we'd share with you everything we had done so far to prepare for our first time on MSC Cruises. After lots of research, watching Youtube vlogs about cruise ships and MSC Cruise ships, we were in two minds as to if we thought MSC Cruises was for us, but we had decided to take the plunge and book a week's Northern Europe Cruise on the MSC Poesia as the cost was too good to miss out on. To be honest, the MSC Poesia wasn't initially our first choice MSC cruise ship, especially after seeing cruise ship vlogs about other MSC cruise ships, such as the Virtuoso, Fantasia, Orchestra etc, but the price was good, we were familiar with some of the ports, so we thought why not. A little spoiler alert, as it turned out, the MSC Poesia turned out to be one of our favourite cruise ships that we have ever sailed on, and over the coming few weeks, we will be posting MSC Poesia Cruise Diaries, an MSC Poesia guide, Poesia deck tours, cabin tours and much more. In this video though, we are concentrating on the preparing process we went through prior to boarding the MSC Poesia as this was our first time on MSC Cruises. 00:00 Intro 03:56 The Itinerary 08:00 Other Costs Along with some actual footage from our MSC Poesia Northern Europe Cruise, we explain the booking of the cruise, how much it cost, what other packages such as drinks packages and internet packages were bought before hand and much more. This is just the first teaser video of our full MSC Cruises MSC Poesia Series, and we hope it gives you a little taster of what's to come over the next few weeks. We hope you enjoy this First Time On MSC - Preparing For MSC Poesia vlog and please come back to see more of this beautiful MSC Cruise Ship.

Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x ⭐ Make sure to Subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one! ⭐
