I have booked myself and my husband on a cruise in September for 14 nights. My husband found a video on YouTube showing around the ship and he is now wondering whether he wants to go! He seems to think that everyone will be old on there (he is 50 in July) I just dont know what to do now. He also said the ship doesnt look very nice. I am going to send him your page and ask that he look at it. Video influences buying decisions@heathercowper @MSCTravelAgents #MSCMasterclass #MyClia
