I love you guys! You have such great expressions as you tour around your cabin. And, also, in other videos, you don't hold back your true opinions of what you are experiencing. I truly love watching you for your reactions but even more so the information you impart for my cruising knowledge base for other cruise lines I have not yet experienced.
What a beautiful cabin! 🤩 Agree on the bathroom toiletries, it’s a shame they haven’t partnered with premium brand, for such a premium suite experience. Hope you’re both having amazing time onboard! ☺️
It does seem such a odd choice that they absolutely nail so much of the premium experience and don't scrimp on anything else and yet those in suite toiletries feel like the Rola Cola equivalent 😂 So far it's been an amazing introduction to the Yacht Club experience. Not sure we could go back to the other side of the ship now though. Ha ha ha. Linzi and Mark
Hi Daniel, you are so welcome. You are going to have a fantastic time on there, and those hot tubs on the balcony are amazing. Have a brilliant cruise when you go and let us know how you get on. Linzi and Mark
Your video’s are charming informative and most importantly useful . As a result we have booked the yacht club on MSC for our 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise to the Canaries. Do keep up the good work
Thank you so much Philip. What a fantastic treat for your 30th Anniversary, you are going to love Yacht Club, and with the cruise going to the canaries you should get plenty of chance to use the outside YC deck space and grill too. Have a lovely day, Linzi & Mark
wow what a cabin!! I love the style of it, the wows the space, the whirlpool and the walk in wardrobe what a view to wake to, can open curtains from the bed? ! The surprise at the hangers you can take out, the shower and the couch for "familiar" just brilliant really made me laugh!
Aww thanks :) It really is a wow cabin. We woke up this morning with the curtains off (it's so private) to a view that looked like it was on a TV screen. The curtains have two layers and you can have either or both on and you have switches to operate them downstairs and at the side of the bed. It's perfect. We will have a lot to say about the cabin in the review later but so far we only have a couple of VERY minor gripes. Linzi and Mark
You are really welcome Melissa and you and your daughters will have an amazing time and as you get closer to the Bahamas (probably less so in NYC In Dec) you will get a lot of use of the Yacht Club outside space too. And that Whirlpool for sailing out of NYC will be amazing. Linzi and Mark
Awesome video, we are in 12008 on the May 29th sailing. The Fitz family cant wait, we will be doing some family videos along the way. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you Peter. It's a stunning cabin, by far the best we've ever stayed in. And THAT hot tub. Wow. Just wow. We've been in it at least three times a day since we got on 😂 Linzi and Mark
Awww, thank you so much, that is so kind, and such a lovely comment to get. Welcome to the channel, and you'd be most welcome to join our Facebook group if you wanted to be more of the community (If FB is your thing of course). Have a lovely day, Linzi & Mark
Great cabin, it will be difficult to go into a regular cabin after this. Linzi didn't disappoint in seeing the kettle, I wouldn't have expected anything less. Take care and looking forward to future videos.
Hi Steve, our next cruise (Virgin in May) is a "regular cabin", and we think you are right. It better at least have a kettle 😂 Take care. Linzi and Mark
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it. There will.be a lot more to Virtuosa and Yacht Club stuff to come over the coming weeks. Starting this coming Sunday. Linzi and Mark
@Suite Natured That's great, looking forward to it. We've just subscribed so that we can enjoy future videos. It will be interesting to see the different cruises, cabins etc as we are starting out on a similar path with our 'Cruising and Exploring' RUclips channel!
It certainly is. We'd seen other tours of it (most recently @fraseratsea) but seeing in it and staying in it is the most WOW moment we have ever had on any of our cruises. Linzi and Mark
Maybe you could weigh in on a decision I'm trying to make. I currently have a Fantastic veranda booked on Euribia. We've never done YC and I can see pros and cons. But if we moved to YC, I'm turn between this duplex suite and a "standard" YC deluxe veranda. Pros of this one: It's a lot bigger, has a whirlpool tub, and the upstairs bedroom is nice. Cons of this one: Its more expensive, it's not actually in the YC, could be noisier, glass enclosure reduces the feeling of being outdoors when on balcony. Let me know if I've missed anything and what your thoughts are.
Hi Brad, your summary was pretty much spot on. We loved the Duplex Suite but we got it at a bargain upgrade price; however if given the chance again we'd probably save even that bargain money and go for the standard YC deluxe Veranda cabin. It is a great cabin, really spacious and in the YC proper and you can use the Yacht Club whirl pool anytime. Hope this helps. Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured did you upgrade from yacht club to yacht club duplex, or did you upgrade from a non-yacht club cabin? And if it’s not impolite to ask, I’m curious as to what your upgrade price was, but feel free to ignore the question if I’m out of line.
@@SuiteNatured Let me tell you my circumstances, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. The cruise is 6 nights on Euribia to the Fjords. Currently, I have a Fantastica veranda in a good location that I paid roughly $1.900 USD or 1,463 GBP. This booking has no extras, i.e. no wi-fi or drink package, although I did receive the 10% VC discount. I could upgrade to a YC Deluxe Veranda for roughly $4,500 or 3,466 GBP, net of VC discount and a credit of $500 USD or 385 GBP from the travel agent that would be applied to reduce the booking price, . To "move up" to the YC Duplex Suite would run roughly $5,400 or 4,159 GBP. Again, that's inclusive of a VC discount and a rebate of $600 USD or 462 GBP that would be applied directly to the booking. Any thoughts as to what makes the most sense?
Ultimately Brad it really comes down to personal position on them. For less than £2,000 difference for a 6 Nights cruise on Euribia we'd be tempted to upgrade to Yacht Club, but in the Deluxe Veranda, we wouldn't do the duplex as an upgrade from Fantastica as that is much bigger jump for just the room difference. If you would have bought the drinks package and wifi, then the cost difference is even less for the upgrade to YC, and in which case that becomes an easier decision (if it was us).
For a high end suite, they did the bathrooms pretty small similar to an interior suite. Atleast they could have put full size walk in shower in the primary bath
That was our only real moan too. Some friends of ours had the Deluxe Suite with the walk in shower (which we've done a tour of) and it was much better.
wow - proper fancy you two :-) Very nice indeed. I have just received an upgrade e-mail - so, will watch with interest. We used our butler quite a bit on Virgin Voyages, in terms of booking things for us, and they would bring breakfast, make sure we had a meat and cheese platter every afternoon etc. soon got used to it haha. Hope you have a FABulous time you lucky couple x x
Hi Terry, Dean and Spencer. We know. Bradford couple gone proper fancy. That could be a headline in the T&A 😂 Honestly though it is by far the fanciest cabin we've ever stayed in, the butler, the walk in wardrobe and that hot tub on a VERY private balcony is amazing. Bidding on that upgrade auction was a very good thing. Not sure why every cruise line doesn't do similar? Take care Terry. Linzi and Mark Now where's that butler gone 🤣
@@SuiteNatured hahaha brilliant, just love it. I am laughing out loud at your comments lol. I will have to pay to speak to you two whenever we meet on a ship in the future...mind you im not sure steerage are allowed to mix with the upper class haha x x
@@LowVisionUKTerrysView you'd never have to pay full price though Terry. You'd get the early bird discount. LOL. We are back in steerage for the next few cruises though. Not sure how we will cope without our amazing Butler. On a cruise, or at home. Take care Terry. Linzi and Mark
Okay, not everyone is now getting a Tolberone Emma, one person is getting peanuts and the other pringles 😂 Yeah it does make up for the Dubai cruise a bit. It's still a shame, and we've been speaking to our family who are on there at the moment and they are having a great time. But we absolutely would not have had this suite. And we are loving it. Linzi and Mark
Love those cabins, the only drawback is that they are separate from the Yacht Club as they weren’t originally YC cabins but that’s a small issue when you have a cabin like that and of course you have a butler and room service included!
That was exactly our concern Andrew. But as you said it is a small price to pay. And with the special lift keys we can be up in the Yacht Club proper in a few mins. We are very quickly acclimatising to have a butler 😂
Thank you Steven. We got very lucky on the MSC upgrade auction to win it. It wouldn't be something we would normally get but we are so glad we have and can share it with you. Have a lovely day and more importantly and amazing cruise on Virtuosa on Friday when we get off. Linzi and Mark
Hi to you both. A quick question about the mini bar. I understand that you get a bottle of spirits or champagne when you arrive. Is that just one bottle per cabin or if there is 2 of you then one each? I’m planning ahead 😂
Hi, we got one bottle of Fizz and one bottle of Grey Goose Vodka. You might have to ask your butler for them though as our pre-cruise email which asked us what we we wanted seemed to have got lost. Always good to plan ahead 😂 Have a lovely evening. Linzi and Mark
Hi Ian, we are definitely going to do QM2 transatlantic and back again. We tried to make it work this year but couldn't manage the timing. We are on QM2 to the Fjords in August though. Interestingly we have a few people in her (one couple who watch the channel) who have until ever sailed Cunard until this cruise and they've been blown away by Yacht Club. Make sure to check out our Yacht Club Review in a few weeks to see what they mean. Linzi and Mark
@@SuiteNatured great video you do have to do illuminations seat in right seat we love to dress up the bread is best in world mary is a bit cut up you have to go down then up to get to queens room we have got got booked on queen Anne in next October in a club cabin keep up the good work
Great video, thank you. We’re looking at booking the same cabin & you mentioned the noisy extractor fans outside by the hot tub. Was that noise constant & was it a problem.
Thank you, and we are sure you'll love the room. The extractor fan was in the little area between the cabin and the balcony area. You couldn't hear the noise at all from inside or outside if the door was closed and it wasn't a problem at all. Linzi and Mark
Hi 👋🏻 Was it windy in the balcony with it being at the front of the ship? We’re in a forward cabin in September so very interested to know. I’m hoping not because of the screens….? 😬
Hi Suite Dreams, No it wasn't windy at all. Far less than any balcony we've had. The screens did a fantastic job. When we had a forward mini suitenon Enchanted Princess last year that also didn't seem to get too windy either.
Hi Simon, it is the 7 night Northern Europe on. Starting in Hamburg, then down to Zeebrugger, then used to Rotterdam before La Harve and then back to Southampton. The repositioning ones look great. They've been promoting the Southampton to Dubai repositioning one for later this year on board and there look to be some good deals. Linzi and Mark
Hi Linz, thanks for a fab review. I'm looking at booking this for my 'special' birthday. My main worry is if you're sitting down outside or at the dining table. I'm 5' 2" and often can't see over the metal balconies. How did you get on with that? - Thanks x
Hi Dawn, wow what a fantastic treat for your Birthday 😀 When you are laid down on the deck chairs outside you cannot see over but sat up we could just about. Stood up obviously no problem. In the whirlpool you could also easily see over it too. Hope this helps 🤞 Have a lovely day, Linzi and Mark
Hi Joe,.no we didn't. It didn't show on the itinerary information, the website or app. We chance that they would be having an elegant night and a white night. They had both. We'd say about 30-50% of passengers take part. Others just dress as normal. Elegant night is the most subjective as their own material says whatever you consider elegant, whether that's a tux and black tie or a fancy pair of jeans and a polo. More were like the later! Linzi and Mark
We loved it, it is a great room, and having the hot tub on the balcony right at the front of the ship was very special. The upstairs space was great too. We can't really comment on having other stay in there with you, as there was just the two of us, but it was so spacious we can't imagine it being a problem.
Normally far more than we’d spend. But MSC has its upgrade auction system. So you can bid (a relatively low amount) to upgrade. This only ended up costing us slightly more than we’d already paid for the Yacht Club deluxe suite, and we bid on it less than two weeks before the cruise. Two days before we were given the option to bid on the Royal Suite for a further £700. We didn’t. But gives you an idea of the costs. Also Yacht Club is very reasonable compared to The Haven (NCL) or The Retreat (Celebrity) at less than half price of those. Linzi and Mark
@@iaindw1 We used it at least twice a day (first thing in a morning and just before bed), and quite often mid-afternoon too. So in short, yep, we used it loads. 🤣
Hi Marcia, thank you and you are right. It's not quite that same balcony feel with the sea view, we've said the same thing since we got on a few times now. However we woke up to the most amazing view from our bed this morning (you'll see it in future videos), It was absolutely stunning. Linzi and Mark
If we'd paid list Steve. It would have been quite expensive. However we bid on the room through the MSC upgrade programme. And a week on here in this cabin cost less than a week in a balcony on Celebrity Edge class ships and far less than Princess Grill on Cunard.

Kate it was very hard to drag ourselves away from there, especially when they keep refilling the mini-bar for free 😂
Thanks for watching, Linzi & Mark
How posh. Only thing I wasn't impressed with was the balcony, I like a proper view of the sea ,it was too enclosed for me. Have a fantastic cruise.
Hi Marcia, thank you and you are right. It's not quite that same balcony feel with the sea view, we've said the same thing since we got on a few times now. However we woke up to the most amazing view from our bed this morning (you'll see it in future videos), It was absolutely stunning.

Must have cost a fortune for that.
If we'd paid list Steve. It would have been quite expensive. However we bid on the room through the MSC upgrade programme. And a week on here in this cabin cost less than a week in a balcony on Celebrity Edge class ships and far less than Princess Grill on Cunard.
