Let's Book Your Cruise Blog

I’ve been excited to try the MSC Yacht Club since I sailed on the MSC Seashore (the same ship I’m on now) last summer. I’ve heard countless people saying, “Once you go Yacht Club, you never go back” and I have to say —

I get it.

It’s not just that the spaces in the Yacht Club-only area are lovely, although they certainly are. Yacht Club guests have exclusive access to their own restaurant, lounge, and pool/deck area.

It’s also not just that the Yacht Club gives you access throughout the ship. We were checked in at a separate part of the terminal (and given a glass of prosecco!), walked onto the ship by a butler, have access to Yacht Club seating at shows, etc. But that part is pretty nice too!

And it’s not just the amenities in the cabin, though those are really nice, too! The cabin is a few steps above the regular interior cabin I had last summer, which I thought was very nice. The cabin comes with an included minibar, coffee and tea maker, plus a bottle of liquor and mixers. (Not that you need it really – the Yacht Club also comes with a premium drink package that you can use around the ship.)

What really makes the Yacht Club shine has been the level of service at every step of the process. You have a dedicated concierge deck, for instance, that’s just available for YC guests. You sit down in the Top Sail Lounge, a lovely area in the front of the ship, and a server takes your order almost immediately. You don’t need reservations for the restaurant — you just walk in when you’d like to eat.

I’m definitely a fan of the Yacht Club so far. Stay tuned for more during my three nights onboard — I’m definitely going to be making the most of it!
