MSC Virtuosa Iceland and Norway

[Mr Sea Gull]

HI I am thinking of booking a cruise on VIrtuosa to Iceland and Norway which is 14 nights. I have previously only been on the Virtuosa during the pandemic for a weeks British Isles cruise where there were only 1000 passengers onboard.

I am a little concerned if I would enjoy the trip as much with over 5000 people onboard and would like some views please on how the ship is with so many passengers. Can you still comfortably use venues?

When sailing from the UK what is entertainment like etc are there any differences to sailing from other countries..

What are MSC excursions and shuttle buses like.

I would need Wifi and would like peoples views on which is the better package, browse or browse and stream. How well do both these wifi packages work, especially in Northern Europe.

 

Thank you in advance any views much appreciated.

Currently on Virtuosa with 5000 onboard. I'm doing a live a couple of posts down from this one which you might want to read. We have the basic wifi and it's fine so far. Last year I remember we lost it briefly going into/ out of the Fjords.

Maybe browse wifi will be ok for me, do you know if you can Whatsapp call someone on browse?

Probably, we facetimed our son on it today and no issues at all.
