You really set the scene on the Yacht Club experience in a way that makes it understandable and irresistible. I get a great sense of location on the ship and in each space, so I feel like I know exactly where to find these venues when I get there. I can tell that the MSC Meraviglia and the Yacht Club experience are what I want. Your videos are such a valuable service. Many thanks!

We got back from our cruise last week. I called my cousin, who set our trip up for us, and told her this was all her fault. She asked "oh no, what happened?" I told her we were ruined and couldn't ever go on a cruise any other way again. What a fantastic experience! From Anna Lisa our butler to Raj our concierge and John and Neil in the restaurant we couldn't have asked for a better vacation.

Hey guys, you forgot to mention about the mini bar,which is included and get refilled every day, the nuts, Toblerone etc is included once, also, the wristband is good for paying, open doors, and to order drinks all over the ship, you don’t need the cruise card on the ship, except your going off the ship, meanwhile the cruise card can stay in the room light slot …..btw, we love to watch your videos…….keep,up,the great work….

@Taste-Try-Travel

Yes we didn’t use the mini bar very much ourselves until the last day 😢 The reason we mentioned bringing your key card to bars around the ship is that most bartenders asked for that. The reader for the band was wired to the registers so we had to walk to it if using the band. The bar crew who had mobile terminals were able to scan our bands but it was inconvenient for bartenders. That was our experience anyway. Thank for watching and feedback 😊

Terrific video! I’ll watch the rest of the YC videos soon but I’ve a question or two for y’all: Are drinks included? They’re pushing the drink package but with us being YC on our upcoming trip with MSC it seems like a waste of $$ to purchase the drink package. Also, we did a Royal Caribbean cruise last month and the Muster Drill process was very easy, all online, mostly a video in our room. We then met up with a crew member who gave us a quick quiz which we passed. We loved the experience. Does MSC have something similar to Royal Caribbean’s Muster Drill? Thanks again for the video! We’re taking a voyage on The MSC Europa next week and are looking forward to experiencing all of the fun that y’all have documented in your videos!!

@Taste-Try-Travel

Thank you so much… all right, we’ve got some answers for you… Drinks are included… it’s the Premium Extra Package. So pretty much any drink you can think of… covers everything up to $16. (Although, as we found out on our other MSC Seashore cruise, make friends with your bartenders and it’ll include everything!🤪) The muster drill is similar. You watch a video in the room, then call a number on your phone to confirm you watched it, and head to your muster station where they scan your room card. Done… one of the easier processes out there. We are so excited for you… we hoping our next MSC cruise to be Europa or America, so you’ll have to let us know what you thought! 😊🤩😊

Hi Mercedes… we think YC would be a great way to vacation with your little one. I think the crew will take wonderful care of you and you will always find room by the pool or in the lounge so you won’t have too many worries. I don’t know much about kids clubs or ages for that but concierge can certainly help. Just let the dining room staff about any special food requests on the first day. Another great thing about YC is you avoid all lines (embarkation and shows) and that makes it easier for your child. Have an amazing time!!!!!

Do you have any tip recommendations as to who all to tip in the yacht club and how much per day?

@Taste-Try-Travel

6 ай бұрын

It really is up to you… MSC says extra tipping is not allowed in Yacht Club, but the crew will accept them for sure. We tipped those who really went above and beyond for us… $5-$7 extra per day is what we decided to do. Again though, it’s all up to you. Nothing at all is expected.

Do they host fun things poolside like they would at the main pool?

@Taste-Try-Travel

8 ай бұрын

There’s no games or contests by the Yacht Club pool. The YC pool is about half the size of the regular one… it just wouldn’t work up there. (And, we believe they want a more “relaxing” atmosphere on the YC pool deck). So you’d have to head down to the other pools to get that party-like vibe. 🥳

Hi! Is the Internet access for 2 devices the premium or standard one (one allows you to video call and stream I think). I'm a solo cruiser on this trip, will I stand out in YC dining alone, or were there some others solo travellers?

@Taste-Try-Travel

9 ай бұрын

It is the upgraded internet package. But with that said, we could not stream anything… very slow connection. That’s not a problem for us, since we kinda assume it’ll be that way on all cruises, but if you need fast internet, it’ll be a problem. As far as solo dining, we saw a few solo diners in the Yacht Club and they definitely did not stand out. And there was lots of folks talking to tables around them, too. Great atmosphere in the Yacht Club… You’re all good there! 😀 Hope that helps and thanks!!!!!!😊
