First MSC Cruise for Me!

So next week I am due to travel out to Barcelona to join the MSC Orchestra for a little taster cruise for 4 nights. I have never cruised with MSC before but they seem to be getting a bigger name for themselves here now in the UK. They have some cracking deals and offers with free upgrades and free All Inclusive beverages packages.

A lot of guests I speak to either like MSC or not. But that seems to be changing with the UK market now as MSC venture more into Southampton sailings and especially with their brand new ship Bellissima doing her maiden voyage from Southampton to Genoa on the 4th of March 2019.

Having never cruised with MSC cruise lines before I am excited to see what she has to offer and although the MSC Orchestra is an older ship I am sure she will still offer the great service and standards that I have previously experienced on other cruise lines.

So I am due to fly out on the 15th of September where I will stay for 1 evening in Barcelona. (I didn’t want to risk flying out the day the cruise departs as it has an early  departure at 1pm). Then on the 16th of September, I will transfer to the cruise terminal to board the MSC Orchestra where she will do the following itinerary.

Day Date Port Arrival Departure
Sun 16/09/2018 Barcelona, Spain 13:00
Mon 17/09/2018 Genoa, Italy 09:00 17:00
Tue 18/09/2018 Marseille, France 08:00 17:00
Wed 19/09/2018 Palma de Mallorca, Spain 10:00 20:00
Thu 20/09/2018 Barcelona, Spain 07:00

I was lucky enough to book myself a balcony cabin for me and my Husband on deck 9 which we were very happy with.  I will also be looking to book the wonderful excursion in Genoa to Portofino which I’m told is a must.

When returning from my cruise onboard the MSC Orchestra I will be back with more information and plenty of pictures to share with you all. In the meantime, if there are any MSC cruises that you would like me to look into then please contact me directly on 0330 303 8216 or [email protected]
