We didn't have very high expectations when boarding as we had only paid £400 each but we were extremely impressed. We had an inside accessible cabin as imva wheelchair user. The cabin was clean, a little dated but perfect as a base. The staff were absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful. The food in the MDR was delicious and our waiting staff were great, we went every evening which we rarely do on cruises as we often 7se the buffet. The entertainment was great and we saw a show in the theatre every night. The musicians in the lounges were all excellent. I did have a few issues with getting on and off at certain ports and MSC need to look at the accessibility of their ramps. We would definitely go back on Poesia again

A surprisingly good 7 night Northern Europe cruise out of Southampton. It wouldn’t have been such a good trip if it wasn’t for the Aurea package and the cost. The Poesia is a lovely small older ship with a certain charm and for this it scores higher for us.
