MSC Yacht Club Full Tour & Review: All Perks & Luxury You Didn't Know About | SippingSunset.com

[@fredfolson5355]

My wife and I love the MSC Yacht Club! We found the Yacht Club after we left Disney Concierge when our kids grew up. We find it to be, dollar-for-dollar, the best value in a luxury cruising experience. Pro Tip: head up to the Yacht Club pool deck on Embarkation Day for lunch! Great video!

[@SippingSunset]

We agree, the Yacht Club is great. We’ve been twice, once on the World Europa and once on the Seashore. We’re back in the Europa in March, can’t wait! Thanks for the lunch tip, we’ll definitely do that next time, cheers!🍻

[@fredfolson5355]

@@SippingSunset oh wow, the Top Sail Lounge on World Europa is beautiful isn't it! The only thing I didn't like about that Med cruise is having passengers embarking/disembarking at each port of call throughout the voyage. You don't have as much time to meet & converse with your fellow passengers. I think that takes something away from the cruise experience.

[@Podgey25]

​@SippingSunset Exciting! So your coming over here to Europe 🎉. We plan to reserve this summer a place on the new World América for 2025❤

[@SippingSunset]

We sailed the Europa in September and we're going again at the beginning of March. We're taking Lindsey's parents, it will be their 1st time in Europe! 3 nights in Barcelona then a 7 night cruise in the Yacht Club🤩

[@SippingSunset]

The Top Sail lunge on the Europa was definitely beautiful and bigger than the Seashore! We had an awesome butler on the Europa too! ... I agree, it was weird having passengers embarking/disembarking every day, so much different than our American closed loop cruises.

[@amberday7570]

We are doing our first Msc cruise in January on the seashore. We have done other cruise lines but excited to try this one. The yacht club is giving me all the vibes

[@SippingSunset]

You’re going to have a great time! Thanks for watching 🥂

[@cguillionwilliams]

Thank you for sharing. Is room/en suite dining service offered in the Yacht Club?

[@SippingSunset]

We didn’t see that offered but there is 24 hour room service. 🥂

[@RoLin4u]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve been trying to decide if I wanted to upgrade and now I believe I do!

[@SippingSunset]

There are plenty of reasons to upgrade. We had a great time in the Yacht Club but keep in mind, it’s not perfect! Thanks for watching, cheers 🥂

Awesome info on the MSC Yacht Club!!

[@SippingSunset]

We’re glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching🥂

[@HoraceArmstrong-ui5mx]

@@SippingSunset Question what is the dress code in the dining room? Ex Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner.

[@SippingSunset]

So sorry we missed your comment! There was no dress code enforced but most people dressed nicely for dinner, not necessarily formal. Hope that helps, thanks for watching 🥂

[@Podgey25]

I live in Spain. I was sad MSC contacted us to say the cruise we'd book was cancelled (it was for 7 days in May 2024 - NYC to Bahamas) and that we wont get to experience the island of OceanCay in YC category (although we've visited once before in Fantastica category .) But the good thing was that they offered us for the same price 11 nights in YC to the Eastern Caribbean! Its costing us only € 2.700 in TOTAL ( we got a voyager discount, too.)🎉❤❤

[@SippingSunset]

Wow! 2700 euro for 11 nights is amazing, congrats on that deal! You'll have an amazing cruise.

[@grannyoffive1313]

Wow… That's amazing…!!!!!

[@arlenecloud8572]

If you get the free cruise through the OP match, how much more can you expect to pay to upgrade to Yacht Club?

[@SippingSunset]

We’ve upgraded 3 times and the price was $3000. Check out our newest video on Is the Yacht Club worth it, we go into a little more detail. Thanks for watching 🥂

[@barrya8981]

We were in the Yacht Club for one of the Bellissima’s shake-down cruises in the Persian Gulf. I liked everything you mentioned; the whole week was less stressful. Our balcony cabin was at least 30% larger than standard cabins. We enjoyed being in a more intimate, but full-service area while having all of the amenities on the rest of the ship.

[@SippingSunset]

Thanks for watching! We wanted to portray in the video that the convenience is a big part of the luxury. Well said! We didn’t mention anything about the butler service because we didn’t really see our butler at all on this trip. The last yacht club butler experience on the World Europa was fantastic though!

[@Mindfixation]

Does the drink package work for the entire ship or just Yatch club area?

[@SippingSunset]

@@MindfixationYes! You get the deluxe drink package at every bar on the ship. On the Seashore we found the best bar was deck 8 aft. It was called “cocktail bar”. They were the best drinks on the boat. Thanks for watching 😊

How was disembarkation? Priority status as well? Have watched several other vids indicating that madness sometimes requires 2hrs to get ashore to go home.

[@SippingSunset]

For the Yacht Club, disembarking is super fast. The butler will escort you all the way to the front of the line! Thanks for watching, cheers 🥂

[@elonifeliciano1918]

I am LIVING for that outfit with the shiny pants and striped shirt!

[@SippingSunset]

Thank you so much! It’s one of my favorites, especially for the cruise! Thanks for watching 🥂

[@pw-sz6ds]

Did you have a set arrival time. If so did you arrive on time or earlier?

[@SippingSunset]

Our set time was at noon but we showed up at 10:30 and we got ushered right on the ship! Thanks for watching, cheers 🍻

[@jameswhitman8710]

I’ve sailed on MSC cruise line 3 times as a serf(ordinary passenger) and it has never taken us over two hrs. The longest I would say was about 40 minutes from drop off to on board.

[@SippingSunset]

I’m glad you haven’t experienced a long delay getting off the ship. Unfortunately we’ve had over 2 hour delays getting off ships in Port Canaveral. This was in 2023 so I’m hopeful that their processes are continuing to improve. Thanks for watching 🥂

[@Jennifer-o4e]

Is the pool hot or cold on yatch club

[@SippingSunset]

On our cruises the Yacht Club pool was not heated. Hope that helps, thanks for watching🥂

[@kennethpreston9813]

Can you compare the Yacht Club to the Celebrity Retreat?

[@SippingSunset]

We were on the Celebrity Apex 2 years ago. We think celebrity is better on the food and service but the Yacht Club lounge and pool on the Seaside and World Europa were much better! If price was not a consideration, we’d pick Celebrity but we really enjoyed the Yacht Club. Here’s a video we did in the Celebrity Apex, hopefully our videos are better now 😁 Celebrity Apex- The Retreat Review. Our 1st time in a suite! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXWnoYJsiLWdoJY

[@grannyoffive1313]

@@SippingSunset I will watch your celebrity retreat video… We just got off Celebrity Beyond on march 22, 2024 in the main area not the retreat… I liked the Beyond but did not love it… But I did love Kate who we have sailed with twice before… Crew was great but it was just some thing and I can't put my finger on it I did not love… Interesting that you said you like celebrity retreat better as I hear so often that people like MSC Yacht Club so much better… Looking forward to your video… We have never stayed in the retreat on Celebrity… Way out of our price range… We have taken 11 celebrity cruises… I do like the solstice class I believe…

[@stephenedwards9341]

Thermal spa included??

[@SippingSunset]

Yes, the thermal spa is included! Thanks for watching 🥂

[@shenikadyson9409]

Are you able to keep any unopened bottles of alcohol?

[@SippingSunset]

Yes! You can take the bottle with you when you get off the ship. On our last trip, they gave us vodka in the room and we asked for gin instead. They let us keep both! I'm surprised they provide a bottle in the room, the Top Sail Lounge is so close and you can drink as much as you want. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@grannyoffive1313]

You did a great job with this video… New subscriber here… We will be on MSC seashore in the Yacht Club in September 2024🚢

[@SippingSunset]

You’re going to have a great cruise, we loved the Seashore Yacht club… Thank you so much for the compliment and subscribing! I think we are finally learning how to make good videos. Stay tuned, we’re got more coming!

[@grannyoffive1313]

@@SippingSunset do you have another cruise planned? We cruised in the yacht club on the seashore in January 2024 and really enjoyed it… It was great watching your video to remind us of the fun we are going to have again…

[@SippingSunset]

We’re cruising the Seaside out of Miami at the end of June! It will be our 1st time on the Seaside, we loved the Seashore, it’s a great ship!

[@grannyoffive1313]

@@SippingSunset we were on the seaside in the Yacht Club and either 2017 or 2018 I can't remember… We spent so much money back then but it was the new thing and we wanted to try it… we would never spend that kind of money again… No matter how good it was… My sister Renee twisted my arm… And we decided to join her… Liked the seaside but didn't love it… Probably didn't give it enough of a chance since I was with my sister and we don't normally cruise together you will have a great time… Will you be in the yacht club?

[@SippingSunset]

No Yacht Club this time😢. But, we’ll have a great time, it’s a free cruise we got from casino status matching.

[@coolbreeze253]

Not such a value when compared to my last three cruises on Viking which ran to less than $1,100 per couple per day in a Penthouse Veranda cabin with the drinks package included as well as excursions, wi-fi, self service laundry and upscale restaurants...and no one under 18 allowed!

[@SippingSunset]

That does sound like a great deal! Viking cruises are definitely on our list. Thanks for watching🥂

[@NaNa65.]

Is the Yacht Club pool deck adults only?

[@SippingSunset]

Hi, thanks for watching! The Yacht Club pool deck is not adults only. In our 3 Yacht Club cruises, we saw very few kids in the Yacht Club. Cheers 🥂

[@DogScreenTV]

Is the private restaurant included in the price?

[@SippingSunset]

Yes it is! We ate there almost every meal, the dinners were great and the service was exceptional 👏

[@charity9660]

Can i get a bottle of champagne in the room for free too?

[@SippingSunset]

We had a bottle of champagne in the room at embarkation but didn’t ask for another one. You did get to pick a bottle of liquor the first day to have in your cabin, we picked Bombay Saphire... The rest of the time we just went to the Yacht Club lounge. Thanks for watching 🥂
