MSC Euribia - 2 Nights Southampton - Hamburg Cruise for 2 *Full Board* - 12th April - £69pp w/code (various cabins)

Yes one way, and then you can book a flight back (as in the OP) (edited)

Yeah I've been on quite a few MSC cruises last few years ; but recent sailing on Euribia and it was like being at a holiday camp unfortunately (with no school holidays in the UK actually on..)

Adults getting utterly smashed and heckling the big band singers/players, kids running on the theatre stages during acts, loads of people just vaping all over the ship even in MDR, watching kids take entire pizzas or serving trays from the buffet and runoff with them, adults jumping over the bar in buffet to serve themselves, fist fights over the pool table use, even saw some Sharpie pen graffiti in the corridors , etc etc
- such a major change over past MSC cruises (staff basically just took a step back all over and stayed in serving roles instead of entertaining friendly ones, captain/senior crew didn't appear once for whole cruise even on gala night, not even on the intercom system )

I'm no snob, I take the premium drink package all the time and every hour is cocktail hour for me but even I was totally shocked

It's understandable why MSC are moving the newer ships away from the Northern Europe UK serving itineraries for this and next year and bringing older ships to the routes instead - it's literally become a cheap as heck all inclusive holiday for UK family's in comparison to our previous classic/native offerings for such groups (edited)

"You do not need a visa for short trips to the EU or countries in the Schengen area if both of the following apply:

You are given a disembark time.. always usually before 10.30am.. so you would need to get off so they can turn the ship round for the next lot of passengers

Yes, decent. Seascanner might have another code in a couple of weeks though, which could bring it down

Agreed, is mostly a nice ship. Personally preferred the virtuosa, which did the rounds last year.

Why would you need to go near London if you flew into Heathrow ? Just get a coach back down to Woking and train from there..

Bad experiences with MSC or SeaScanner?
