Great Premier Balcony cabin all inclusive drinks package. Great show last night, The 🎪 Circus, it was electric, jugglers, spinning lady by her hair, acrobatic skaters and clowns on trampoline fast and furious, really enjoyed it. Sat in the bar listening to music then while Martin tried all the Gin cocktails 🍸 on the menu.Read more

We woke up to 0 deg & slow forecast 😱. But by the time we'd had breakfast it was 11 o'clock and no snow but only 2 deg, so we wrapped up warm and headed off to the tram stop. We git of in the centre and walked around by 2pm we came accross, you guessed it McDonalds hot coffee and a cheese burger for lunch, oh and you get a little nougat sweet with coffee in Belgium, yum. Martin suggested we walk back from the centre then, of course it rained nearly all the way back, couldn't feel my knees by the time we arrived at the ship. But made room for a few more cocktails tonight.Read more

Oh no, it's raining. Shall we stay on board or not? Is the question. We just had a leisurely breakfast and a coffee/beer on board, and by that time, it had stopped raining but was still freezing cold 🥶. We wrapped up and went for a walk just to the town of Zebrugge. Thankfully, it didn't take long as it's a tiny little village, although we found 2 train stations, 4 coffee shops, a chocolate factory, and a chemist. When I couldn't feel my knees we made our way back to the ship for lunch and wine to warm up, of course.
Excellent towel animals on this cruise line.Read more

LeHavre, last day.
February 13 in England ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
Grey day again but slightly warmer at 6 deg, so we headed into LeHavre something we have done several times. It's quite a boring walk mainly through the Docks and then back end of the city. The fish market was just ending, so the gulls were in full fight mode over the scraps left behind. Most coffee shops were closed, but Starbucks was open, of course, a flat white, and planned the next walk, back to the ship.Read more
TravelerWell at least you got out and about.. must say a very impressive sculpture/monument.

Up and out of the cabin by 8am, we made our way to the Golden Lobster restaurant on deck 5 and joined 4 others for our last meal on board. Very good choices and on the whole good quality food. We did sail on MSC Virtuosa a couple of years ago and we both said never again. However, we thought at the price offered we'd give MSC one more try and so glad we did. Preziosa is so very different. They still need more bar staff as it takes to long to get a drink. But, 10 mins on Preziosa against 40 mins on Virtuosa is much more realistic. We have really enjoyed our little break away. 💗❤️💗Read more
TravelerNice to be pampered and relax x
