Ah, you've captured the embarkation process so well in this video - I bet this will help lots of people before their first cruise. I remember having no idea what to expect when cruising from Southampton for the first time - I'd have found this walkthrough really helpful!

Hello Rod. I wondered if I could ask this is for a family member who has a disability as well and they've seen your wonderful video and wanted me to just ask. If it is compulsory with MSc that you have to have health insurance? I'm just wondering if it's something that they make you take out. If you could please let me know many thanks. 👍

Hi, we just have the insurance we get with the bank, we called them and asked if they covered cruises and my disabilities and they said they did, I would not recommend going without cruises cover, MSC ask for 2 million repatriation cover. I hope this helps.

Thankyou so much for this video, it's incredibly helpful for me as I've never been on a cruise before but I have booked to go on the MSC Virtuosa next year. I have had a great deal of anxiety since booking as I'm completely clueless as to what to expect. I've seen pictures of how beautiful the ship is and videos of tours and food etc. But this is the only video I have come across that actually shows the embarking of the ship and all the checks etc. So thankyoh again, this was a brilliant video xx

@@VloggerRod Actually there was a sign, @6:18 you can see it right above the door when you were entering the security area. It is very common that no photo or video allowed in port security/border control area, to prevent criminals from trying to find possible security weak points using the photo/videos. Anyway I do thank you for your video, watched the whole video and it clearly shows the embarkation process, which is going to help me on my 1st cruise at Southampton.
