Description
I took a 2-day taster cruise with https://www.somebloke.co.uk/Cruisedirect and MSC Cruises onboard their flagship mega ship MSC Grandiosa, sailing from Genoa to Barcelona â and in this video I answer the big question:
đ Is a short taster cruise actually worth it?
In this full ship tour and review, I explain:
What a 2-day taster cruise really is
Why you should avoid 1-night cruises
How I booked it
Exactly what I paid
And whether this gives you a true taste of cruising
While onboard, I show you around key areas of the ship including:
The Galleria, the heart of the ship
Main dining room dinner at The Purple Crab
Theatres and onboard entertainment
Casino and indoor activities
Pools, aqua park and indoor solarium
I also explain why I booked through Cruise Direct, https://www.somebloke.co.uk/Cruisedirect how the booking experience went, and why cruises are different to hotels and flights when it comes to booking direct vs third-party.
Despite booking a very cheap interior cabin, MSC upgraded me to a Deluxe Balcony Stateroom â with no penalties for booking via a cruise agent.
If youâre cruise-curious, short on time, or just want exceptional value travel, this video will help you decide whether a taster cruise is right for you.
