Great video!!!! Interesting story about the missing bag. I usually carry a Swiss army knife with me. I know now to leave it at home. Thanks.

Fantastic video! I'm preparing for my first experience with YC. We're heading to the Bahamas from New York. As vegans, the food is the only thing that worries me. We don't consume any meat, pasta, eggs, or cheese. I'm hoping they will fulfill our needs. I appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to share your very informative movie with all of us. Hugs to you and your husband :)

Enjoyed watching this… I’m going on Iona with my friend at the beginning of September… Will definitely try the glasshouse. Did you have to book or did you just turn up and take a chance?😊

Brilliant video! You've made our mind up to pay extra for YC! My wife and I can't agree where your accent is from?! North West is all we agree on! She says Southport, I say Cheshire? Anyway, thank you for your excellent film

Looks amazing we go in just under 2 weeks where and when was this filmed thanks

Even on mega ships I never take the elevators. I’ll walk up 10 flights of stairs because I get so fed up with how the elevator stops at every floor. I never gave a thought to classes, 1st, 2nd, steerage, etc. but forcing others to skip their floors must really make them feel like the Hoi polio.😂

I’m not much of a drinker but did the YC include top shelf, like Louis XIII Cognac?

Great tips. I heard you about the sail in and sail out of Flam. Our balcony cabin is on the right side of the ship. Do you think we should go up on deck for better viewing?

Anthem of the Seas at 11:00

This will be our cabin next month!, thanks for sharing!

Hi Cruise control, I’ve seen other CZcams videos about MSC yacht club and it seems that people that are staying in the yacht club and have friends that aren’t in NYC invite them into the restaurant. I thought only Y.C. guest were allowed in because of the card that you had to swipe to get in the door. Not sure I like this. Should I be worried about going on a MSC yacht club ship when other people from non-yacht club can get in?

Thanks for the walk round - I've wondered if I'd cruise in those Deck 8 balcony cabins, but I'm not sure - they seem VERY open to the passers by!

What is MSC ?

We were on the ship last week and absolutely loved Pearl and especially Coral, where the wonderful Lloyd and his team were fantastic hosts. Couldn't fault the food or the service.

Wonderful review. Brought back lovely memories of when we sailed on the Iona. X

Honest feedback as an avid cruise you tube viewer--the narration/voice over was excellent--good flow, good info etc etc. However the visuals/edit would put me off--slow mo into the MDR wasn't great, time lapse at the table a little bizarre, lead up to restaurant not stabilized.

Thank you

Is pizza repeated throughout the buffet? Or just one station?

I have cruises booked for this and next year, never really gave MSc a thought, heard they were very busy etc, however because of videos like this I'm definitely interested in doing YC, did you notice if it was wheelchair friendly, thanks

Tks. Very helpful. Excited! Booked Yacht Club and boarding in 2 weeks in South Africa

I am travelling on Borealis on 14 May 2024, haven't been on Fred Olsen for a few years, usually travel on P and O Aurora, love that ship, however I think the food has declined somewhat, and they have ruined the atrium which was stunning, am looking forward to seeing Borealis, thank you for posting this....take care

Going on Virtuosa yacht club in July - can’t wait! Great videos.

Thank you! Going on a 10 in a few weeks, heard many discouraging things. You have me excited now!! Thanks, great video.

Very good info. My sister and I r going in a few weeks. Can’t wait for yacht club!

Totally agree with you, we had all our meals in there, really good choice and cooked well. Liked it so much we are going again soon. Cant wait

Great video! Thanks so much!

Very good video ,thank ypu

Thanks very useful info.

Quick question…. How much extra did you tip your butler?

all cruise CZcamsrs are recommending, that best cabins are in the middle of the ship ? But most expensive cabins on every ship are higher levels and always on the back !? :)

Great video - I've not stayed in Yacht Club, but the food does look pretty decent. The prices for YC are really starting to climb though - let's see if they make the menu more exciting up there to account for the price hikes...!

Did the world Europa back in September for our first cruise and we loved it, but we vowed next time when we do MSC we would do yacht club for some tranquility as the main areas of the ship was complete mayhem! Is there a dress code for the yacht club restaurant? Obviously there’ll be a gala night (optional) but we’re just comfortable in casual shorts and t shirt etc 🤔

so it was manic going to your muster station? Hope you don’t complain when it happens for real, watching a video ain’t gonna save your life. I make sure I know exactly where I’m going and how to get there physically. Can’t understand why you people constantly moan about 1/2 hr out of you life that could mean you spend the rest alive.

Used P&O many times for cruises but last time the cost cutting really impacted the experience. I'm not surprised at this latest development. I don't use them anymore.

Genoa to Barcelona in January is cancelled

Looking forward to our Euribia experience in the Yacht Club; about a month to go ☺️

I agree about the charges that nickel and diming. I think It leaves a bad taste in many cruisers mouths. The whole point of cruising was all inclusive. Just up the charge of the cruise instead of nickel and diming if they want to make more$

This was a terrific well rounded take on the company. Personally I dislike their clunky website but that’s why travel agents are worth their weight. They can deal with all the annoyances of booking and selecting options and all that. We are going on a 7 night cruise to the Caribbean in March and look forward to good vibes and good eats 😅.

We have been on two MSC Cruises so far and we are booked for the YC on the Inaugural Sailing of the World America. We can not WAIT! 3 things we love about MSC 1. The Ships are extremely beautiful. 2. Bang for your Buck is better than any other Cruise line (Especially when you get into booking YC Level cabins) 3. The Food. While in our experience, there isn't a lot of variety, especially on the day to day comparison (Usually the same items on the Buffet) But the Quality of the food is extremely good. 3 things we dislike about MSC 1. The Customer Service both pre-Cruise and during the Cruise is Horrible. if you have to go to the Guest Services Desk for any reason it is just a nightmare. And pre-cruise the website is horrible. 2. So far MSC Doesn't have enough Home Ports. We are hoping they follow through with the Galveston Port, as well as hopefully something that will allow Alaskan Cruises etc. 3. How they bill your Card while on the Cruise. They tend to stack pre-authorizations on your card, but not only from one day to the next but they also add your current charges to the pre-authorization. For example Day 1. They will pre-authorize $200, and then you spend $50. Day 2 they will re-authorize the original $200 plus the $50 you charged day one, but they also won't remove the first pre-authorization. So after two days they have Pre-authorized $450. And this will go on for each day of the cruise. At least it did for us both times we cruised. This is actually our biggest complaint with MSC. And so from now on we are only putting Cash into our account.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video.. my family has a June 2024 Port Canaveral Florida Western Caribbean 7 Day Yacht Club.. first time with MSC 🤔

Pizza looks both over cooked and old.

Not kidding when we say this, but this is the best tour of YC we've seen. Mostly because you walked through, around, and up it in a way that helps to orientate the viewer to all the features, facilities, and locations of this unique space within the ship. Nice work sir 👍

A great vlog with an interesting theme and question to pose. And totally agree on the delight that can be found on traditional, smaller, older ships compared to the newest giant floating theme parks.

Some really good insights, tips and guidance in your vlog David. Wouldn't disagree with any of that. And its really helpful for those still undecided if a Fjords cruise is right for them 👍

Just wondering if you were cruising at the end of the season as the only time we've really had issue with lack of drink choice is on the cruise right before a transatlantic when they are going to change over to all the American versions instead of the European ones

My husband and I went in there, very disappointed as I felt I wasn’t very well and they charge charge me for the whole meal. I didn’t think this was very professional.

I totally agree the beds on Princess cruises are fantastic. Best night sleep iPhone at the same time .

Those Princess beds are brilliant. Cheers Mo

Yacht Club is a beautiful experience, enjoyed the video, boarding Virtuosa tomorrow, yes we are in YC 🙂
