Always enjoyed MSC because I think they are probably the best value of any cruise line. Never thought about trying their yacht club experience, but now I will. Thank you for the good information.
Thank you for the video, I am doing Seashore YC on Nov 2nd so this was very helpful. Do you remember how much daily gratuities are included and what are your recommendations for tipping extra?
Glad to hear you found our video helpful! The gratuities were about $20 per person per day if I remember correct. As far as tipping extra we tipped our butler, Jr butler and a bar tender we really enjoyed the amount is completely up to you and the level of service you felt you received, it can be so different for each person so I don’t have an exact number but they truly appreciate anything extra.
But is it worth (more then)twice the price of a Balcony room? We did MSC Seascape Aurea class twice on the last 18months(approx.$3500 CDN) and Yacht club was $8k, I just could not justify it, and we did enjoy both cruises & TOP 19. We did Celebrity Beyond Retreat(equivalent to Yacht Club) 3 weeks ago($4800 all-in) and absolutely loved it! FYI, met a couple that had done both Yacht Club & Retreat, and although food was better on Celebrity they said the whole VIP experience is much better on MSC.
Definitely not worth 8k for YC. Would love to try the Celery Retreat I’ve heard amazing things about it, we loved the Beyond as a whole the food and drinks were amazing even without the VIP experience.
great video, Thank you...Were going in 2 weeks.
Awesome!
