- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- So when it comes to eating on a cruise, you have the restaurants that are free/included and the speciality ones that you have to pay extra for. And Hola Mexican cantina is worth every penny, its £17.99 each for ALL YOU CAN EAT.
The menu is huge and everything is made to order just across the restaurant in the open kitchen.
We tried to eat as much of the menu as we could, we give it a good go and managed most of it 😅
You dont have to have the all you can eat, ypu can pay for the items you have if you just wanted a couple things, but as you will see the all you can eat is the best value. We give you a running tally to show you how much it would of cost us.
Thanks so much for watching we really appreciate each and everyone of you. And if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe and give this video a big thumbs up if you enjoyed it.

I ate in here on Virtuosa a few months ago, and it's genuinely one of my favourite speciality restaurants at sea. I love the fact that it's a 'premium' eatery, but without feeling stuffy. Also, the fact you can use your drinks package in here is brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it too! We absolutely loved it, the food was delicious , and we definitely got our moneys worth lol
Didn’t know that you can use the drink package here ? Did you have the premium?
@@aeroplextv8203 yeah, we did!
@@aeroplextv8203 the only drinks not included are the frozen margaritas - which seems odd, but there we go :-)
I Loooove the singing Mexicans!!! Whoohoo…what fun! Love their smiles
Yes they were so much Fun!
That looks amazing
Good morning Stacey and Kev. I went to this restaurant on the Meraviglia. We had OBC so used that to pay. $17.99pp is a great value. I would not use a specialty dining for this. We absolutely loved this restaurant. Everything we ate was so good! Tasting " in the name of science". Lol. Thank you both so much for bringing me back there. ❤
Haha its all in the name of science 🤣 not because we love to eat lol 🤪. It must of been good as we were speaking to a Mexican member of crew and he said they had done a good job 😁
Ive never eaten mexican food but that did look rather enticing. Am on Virtuosa in November with my sister. First MSC cruise. Watched your videos. Even more excited now!! Thank you 😁
Love this video! Always down to earth - this is exactly what me and the husband would do in an all you can eat!
Awww thanks. Its defo worth it for £17.99
Happy Monday and this was wonderful my friend BIG like # 38 🥰🥰🥰 looks delicious
Hi You two, I have now watched a few of your videos about Virtuosa and like your take on things. I am due to sail on her this October and the excitement is building, some time still to go but time to do my research, watch your videos and ignore the sometimes griping that goes on in the 'forums' . Was a bit sad that the Mexican restaurant had little for veggies but maybe I can do some chopping and changing like you did. We shall see. I had high hopes for this restaurant because none of the other speciality places are vegetarian-friendly.
Thanks so much, really hope you have a great time when you go
Looked delicious and very fresh ingredients.
Am loving your videos, thank you.
We’re on the Virtuosa in April & will now definitely add this one to the list, have also seen from previous comments that our drinks package can be used in here too!!!
Your videos are really informative & down to earth, so thanks again 😊
Thanks so much Deborah, really appreciate it. Hope you have a great time on the Virtuosa
Kev…I didn’t know it was possible to eat that much 🤣👏👏
As always, I absolutely love you two. I especially like you doing food reviews, it’s like I can taste it myself! I’m fed up with people like The Trackers talking about food, going into great depth about every single aspect as if they’re the world’s leading authority on it..which they clearly are not. You two, on the other hand, just say it as it is….no fancy talk. Food is to be enjoyed, not analysed. And your faces while you’re eating are so funny…total bliss 😆
Certainly seemed a fantastic deal to eat there, looked SO tasty 🥰
Thanks so much Ruth, we laugh when we watch it back at the faces we pull as well lol. And we know what you mean some people over complicate explaining food and we prefer keep it easy and simple lol. We definitely got great value for money on what we ate!
Thanks for another great vlogg! I will be crusing on the Virtuosa 16 Dec and have been watching all your vloggs on the Virtuosa to help me be ready to enjoy! Will try the Mexican Speciality Restaurant!
Haha we definitely had our monies worth in the Mexican restaurant 🤣
Thanks for sharing. Hola looks like a good night out 🥰🤤
Was so much fun 😁
I could never judge you stacey whatever takes your fancy jst go for it girl♥️😀
🤪😁
🤪😁
Another fab vlog guys! Did make me smile when the 'get ready to pause' flashed up 😄 And I did snort when you said there is more to the Virtuosa than food🤣. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed
Such good fun you guys. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Thanks George
Thanks guys we planning on going here in October on our Virtuosa cruise so thank you for showcasing how amazing it looks!
You will love it
I’m on the Virtuosa next week going to Norway whoo ! Just discovered your vids and love em. Subscribed straight away. Was thinking about doing Hola but now I think I’m definitely gonna give it a go.
Thanks so much Trevor, hope you have an amazing time, would really recommend the Mexican it was delicious
All you can eat, Kev and Stacey. Is it worth it? Of course it is, but we first thought buffet when we saw the title. This is a different concept from what we've seen before. Love the idea and the price was right! Loved all the taco's and burrito's. We could also do it justice but don't know if we could keep up with the two of you! We'd enjoy nap time afterwards too. Love Mexican food! Thanks so much for bringing us along.
We love our food Dave and Kathy 😁. Although with the swaying of the Ship afterwards it did make us want to go sleep 😴 💤 😀. Thanks so much for the support as always
Can't wait to try this
It's delicious 😋
Looked very yummy guys very tasty
Hope you guys are feeling better, looking forward to these reviews, your style is excellent:)
Thanks so much, and yes much better 😁
Stacy keep up the good alog xxxx
That looked delicious! I am hoping my husband goes for it with me- we don't usually pay for food on the cruises, and ours actually sails to Mexico so he thinks we should just get tacos there for a few pesos each (which we will do also! We have some favorite food stands we like to go to in Cozumel, far from port); but this also looked so delicious.
You've definitely got to try then if sailing to Mexico 😁
Loved watching this, brought back many happy memories. We loved Hola, but, were absolutely stuffed afterwards lol. I think you dod better than us with those desserts ha.
When we go in March, we are booking Hola twice, once on the first day ( as we wont have eaten all day ) and then the last night too ( to keep us going the following day on the way home ha ) . It is absolutely incredible, and as you say, for the money - it would be daft not to do the all you can eat one price option. looking forward to your next vlog...Terry x
I could just eat some of their tacos. Thats the best way to do it one at the start and the other at the end of the week. Ye dont know why anyone would do the normal menu l. I would also recommend trying one of the Mexican bottled sodas for that extra experience
@@OneCouplesAdventure im going to try the mandarin soda that you had. sounds lush
Hey, how do you book this restaurant? Can you do it once onboard? I see no way of booking it in advance… Thanks!
@@ccook92 you have to book when you get on board. We always book the restaurant as soon as we get onboard, that way, youre guaranteed the day and time you want..hope that helps
Godbless you both x
Going to be on Virtuosa tomorrow. and you were close on the drink name. The "J" make a "H" sound so it sounds like Harritos. Just change the j for an h and you pronounced it perfectly
Dam nearly said it right lol. Thanks for telling us though we want to learn the correct pronunciation, hope you have a brilliant time
@One Couples Adventure Absolutely! You're doing great, love the videos, And thank you so much!
I love msc
Love your virtuoso video's, I'm sailing that ship 24th April with 3 friends for a 3 nighter !
Any tips? We're looking to do one specialty restaurant and stick to buffet and the inclusive restaurant for the rest.
My eye is looking at teh steak house, but ..... What do you 2 think?
The Steakhouse is really nice and definitely worth a try. With you having 3 nights just make sure you use your app religiously as it tells you what is on in every location and a hour by hour breakdown. This can then maximise and make the most of what you get to do on board. The buffet is brilliant, we preferred this over the main dining room the second time we went on. And most Importantly just have a brilliant time 😁
Awesome I hope it’s on msc seashore🤣thanks ❤
It was amazing 😁
Did you try indochine? Found it to be the best food on board. Lovely restaurant and the team were lovely
No we tried hola and the teppanyaki. Indochine did look nice
Why aren’t you both 20 plus stone. I’m full just watching you. Great blog
We're getting there lol
Would you recommend the ship? What is the smoking policy I can’t stand the smell of smoke . Great video by the way like how you show things that people want to see.
Ye we loved the ship. We didn't notice the smell of smoke too much. People can smoke in parts of the casino
Excellent video. Well done you young persons! Enough food to choke a goat! You have to try everything once except incense and folk dancing! Question: In your honest humble opinion. How does the food compare on this MSC ship to the Britiana? In terms of variety and quality? I ask because I have just returned from a trip on the Britiana and the food was very good and on occasions simply fantastic. Would like to try MSC if the standard of food is on par with P&O. Happy Days!
Haha thanks Gary and to be honest the buffet is loads better on the msc and the main dining room is much better on the Britannia. Speciality Restaurant wise they are both really good although the msc ones are themed better inside 👍
236 Thumbs Up 👆
Do you remember how much the drinks were? Noticed they seem to serve the drinks in cans. Can you get away with taking the cans from your room out and about? X
Hi they were about €3.50 each and we did when on a sunlounger or having a walk on the top deck but obviously wouldn't in restaurants or in any bars/lounges on the ship.
@@OneCouplesAdventure thank you. We’ve just booked a 3 nighter and plan on taking a case of soft drinks too for the room. No point in the drinks package for us as my daughter is fussy and only drinks tesco coke (can’t complain at 45p a bottle).
Makes me smile when you drive down from Stoke to Southampton for your cruises as we live in Southampton but drive to Alton Towers a lot so know the drive very well 😃
Haha oh right lol, we live about 20 mins away from Alton Towers 😁
LOL, you guys are too cute!! So it is pronounced 'taco' as in 'ta' (rhymes with car) and then 'co'. Not tack-o.
Its how we say it in britain. Its just our pronunciation of the word. Listen to Gordon Ramsey say it in his breakfast taco video he says it the same lol
Hi. We’re sailing on Virtuosa 🚢 on Monday. Where do you go to book Hola once on board? We really want to try this so want to book as soon as we embark.
Can't remember what it was called but we show it in the embarkation video 👍
How do you book this please? Do you have to pay upfront to dine at the specialist restaurants or can you just book when you’re on the ship?
Hi you can book the speciality restaurants package before you go via the app. You have to pay there and then for that when u book. Then when you embark, go and sort out what day/ time you want. With the hola Mexican restaurant we booked it the day we embarked the ship then once we had eaten there the bill got added onto our bill for the week.
We have a video on how the speciality restaurants work if it helps
Do you pay to book in the speciality restaurants or do you just reserve a spot and then pay the bill?
Hi we booked the restaurants before hand and then booked what evening and time we wanted once on the ship. We are going to be doing a video on how to book the speciality restaurants and the best packages to get as its not very clear on MSC website at all
Can the Easy PLUS drink package be used in Hola Restauant?
Not 100% sure. You might be able to use it for normal drinks like coke and beer but i doubt you could have the mexican sodas with it. We didn't have a drinks package
@@OneCouplesAdventure I love your straight forward reviews on the Virtuosa! Especially the long review about Hola. When we were on Grandiosa in May, Hola was something different. More Spanish than Mexican. So for me this change is very interesting. I will get the all you can eat offer when I am on Virtuosa in december. Will not eat all day and then....lol
Hi how can you eat so much. Was it £17.99 each or for both.
We ate nothing all day so we were ready for it lol. £17.99 each
Is it the same deal every night. Do you pre book it as a speciality on a package.
Hi We've got a video explaining how the speciality restaurants work it explains which restaurants are part of the package, it does get confusing to try and explain how it works lol so might be worth watching that
@@OneCouplesAdventure Thanks so much. I’ve seen that vlog and been on the Virtuosa. I guess what I was trying to say is can you walk in and pay £16.99.
Yes you can either book it once onboard or if they are quiet you might be able to walk up and go in
@@OneCouplesAdventure Thanks. 😀
Going on Seashore in October and have booked this restaurant. Still dont understand the point of A la Carte when you can get all you can eat for 17.99. Anyone please?
Haha yes it's absolutely pointless 🤣 we could eat 17.99 pound worth before we even get to the main dishes
@@OneCouplesAdventure Thanks
Where you allowed to share for 17.99 or did you pay 17.99 per person?
No its £17.99 each you can't share with only one person paying
@@OneCouplesAdventure thx for making it clear, because it looked like you were sharing but the total cost were 17.99. We will be cruising in April on World Europa and will most definetely be joining Hola!
We did share the food so we could try more but each person has to pay
Good news if u spill any down that shirt no one will notice 😜😂
Hahaha very true 👍 🤣
Thanks guys I enjoyed that vid. The food looked spot on, what do you rate your cabin compared to Iona, I’m still getting my head round how much you paid for the cruise! 🫤 enjoy the rest of your jollies
They were kinda the same. Just small differences but hardly anything in it
