Complete MSC Yacht Club Review Including Top 5 Perks

Why not feel like one of a few guests instead of one of 4,000+ passengers yet still be able to experience the perks that all MSC ship guests enjoy? If such a prospect makes your ears perk up, we're sharing some inside info about the best way to travel on MSC Cruises. Come along as we give you an exclusive peek into MSC Yacht Club.

The cruise line's suite class gives guests various perks while creating a small community vibe on a ship with thousands of people. We'll review MSC Yacht Club's benefits here and highlight our favorite top perks.

Our Picks for Top 5 MSC Yacht Club Perks

The perks are many for MSC Yacht Club guests; however, these five are amongst our top favorites.

Priority Embarkation & Debarkation

There's nothing like not having to wait in a line of dozens of people to get on and off the ship, whether it's the first day of the cruise, the last day, or for daily excursions.

Private Lounge

If we wanted snacks or a quiet indoor place to read or work, or somewhere to get a pre-dinner cocktail, the private Yacht Club lounge was our go-to spot.

Private Restaurants

The exclusive MSC Yacht Club restaurant is open for three meals a day, and the menu for lunch and dinner changes daily. There's also a Yacht Club Grill by the private pool.

Includes Premium Drinks and Wi-Fi

We easily stay connected to work, family and friends via text and emails throughout the cruise. And all the drinks we wanted were included with MSC Yacht Club.

Yacht-Club Only Concierge Desk

Speaking to someone at the Yacht Club Concierge desk was always just steps away. They helped us with specialty dining reservations, excursions, and spa treatments.

Let's deep dive into all these perks, along with some exclusive additional benefits MSC Yacht Club guests enjoy.

Priority Embarkation & Debarkation in MSC Yacht Club

Yacht Club guests enjoy priority embarkation, which gets you onto the ship — and onto vacation — ASAP. We loved this ship-within-a-ship suites class benefit.

MSC Yacht Club Experience Boarding at Port Canaveral

When we pulled up to the terminal at Port Canaveral to board MSC Seashore, the porter asked for our cabin number. We stated, “16407,” and he immediately replied, “Oh, you’re in the Yacht Club! Come this way.”

Priority ensued during each step of the boarding process. Our luggage was put in a different line to get on the ship, we were brought to a separate security line shorter than the rest of the passengers, and we were shown the way to an area with snacks and drinks to enjoy while we waited to be escorted on the gangway to get onto the ship.

We grabbed a glass of bubbly and some chips, but within a few minutes, someone came over to check our passports and hand us our keycards and MSC Yacht Club wristbands. Not wanting to miss out on any time onboard, we took a few sips of our drinks and queued up for the walk onboard with six or so Yacht Club guests.  

A separate gangway led Yacht Club guests to the ship; a butler or a Yacht Club Concierge desk crew member escorted all guests. Butlers can ensure that elevator ride priority is given to guests of the Yacht Club despite the craziness of embarkation day and — what feels like — a large population of the 4,000+ onboard guests trying to use the elevators all at once. 

We were definitely grateful to have priority embarkation.

The butler escorted everyone to their muster station check-in area (Yacht Club guests seem to have one of two muster station check-in areas), so we all efficiently checked that off our Day 1 cruise to-do list. Then, it was off to The Yacht Club reception desk, or Concierge desk, area.

We arrived at our suite around 1:00 pm, approximately 30 minutes after our initial welcome at the port, and were informed our rooms were ready. We could also opt to have lunch or enjoy Top Sail Lounge as Yacht Club guests during this time as well. 

Priority Debarkation on the Final Morning of the Cruise

On the final day of the cruise, which equated to a few more hours on the ship to pack the last of our belongings, eat breakfast, and get back to “reality” at home, we needed to get off the ship fairly quickly, as we were leaving the next day for our Portugal Douro River Cruise with Viking.

Thankfully, being in the Yacht Club allowed us priority debarkation. Our butler escorted us to the elevators and got priority to transport us to the proper desk and in front of the debarkation line within minutes. There is also a separate area for MSC Yacht Club luggage in the terminal (though not to get through passport control, if you're wondering).

We were on our way home fairly quickly, from leaving Top Sail Lounge in the Yacht Club with our butler that morning to getting into our car. All in all, it must have been within 20 minutes, including passport control.

Priority Excursions Disembarkation

On port days with excursions, there are more thoughtful touches for Yacht Club guests. You meet in Top Sail Lounge for priority disembarkation, and a cart of water and towels for excursions (if excursions to water destinations are happening, like a beach club or resort with a pool) is available to guests. A tray of biodegradable ponchos was also put out one day because the forecast called for rain. (We appreciated the sustainability aspect of the ponchos!)

Private area of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve for Yacht Club Guests: Ocean House

The nicest thing about being on MSC's private island as a Yacht Club guest was that there was a private area for us. When we disembarked from the ship, we were given priority transportation to the beachfront for Yacht Club guests. Additionally, drinks were complimentary (because premium beverages are included for Yacht Club guests), and lunch was included. We appreciated the seated meal with a stunning oceanfront view at the outdoor venue for Yacht Club guests, which is right next to the private MSC Yacht Club beach.

Private Yacht Club Retreat: Top Sail Lounge

We quickly appreciated a private lounge, much like the exclusive lounge on Celebrity Cruises when you’re in The Retreat . This was especially evident on embarkation day when the ship felt chaotic and packed with cruisers who were excited to get the party started.

It was so nice to find respite at Top Sail Lounge, which was spacious and enjoyable to sip on an afternoon cocktail and snack. It was lovely to come here daily. Unlike the vibe we experienced on Celebrity Cruises in The Retreat, we felt a greater sense of community and social interaction in MSC's Top Sail Lounge. This was likely because of the lounge layout, which was conducive to meeting people.

One of the best things about the MSC Yacht Club lounge was the specialty drinks we got that we couldn't easily get elsewhere on the ship. The simplest example is a chocolate martini.

Another thing we loved at Top Sail Lounge was the snacks throughout the day, especially at night. Breakfast items, lunch snacks, dinner snacks, and nightly treats were switched throughout the day.

Nightly, Venchi chocolates were complimentary for MSC Yacht Club guests; other passengers had to go to the onboard cafe and gelato shop and pay for the same chocolates a la carte.

MSC Cruises has a restaurant dedicated to its Yacht Club cruisers, which is the main restaurant for these passengers. We’re used to sailing on river cruises and other small ships for cruise vacations, where one restaurant option is the norm instead of many options; this is why having one main restaurant for meals on our MSC cruise felt usual to us.

If you like steak, another perk of being in MSC Yacht Club is that Filet Mignon is on the anytime menu at the Yacht Club restaurant. In contrast, the anytime menu steak option for non-Yacht Club guests in the complimentary restaurants is a New York Strip. Another thing I appreciated was the fresh squeezed orange juice at the Yacht Club restaurant in the mornings, whereas the buffet and main restaurants only had juice from concentrate.

The Yacht Club Grill is an additional dining option for lunch in the private pool area. The menu differs from the menu at the seated restaurant, though a few menu items overlapped, like the soup option.

Dining at Other Onboard Venues

The beauty of being a Yacht Club guest is that you can also eat in main dining like the other MSC passengers if you want or make reservations at a specialty restaurant for an additional fee. Unlike other passengers, though, MSC Yacht Club guests have a dedicated butler and concierge team to assist in booking these reservations. 

Also, unlike other MSC Cruises guests who must choose a time for the main dining (one of three seating times: 5:30 pm, 7:30 pm, or 9:30 pm), Yacht Club guests can make timed reservations in the Complimentary Main Dining Restaurants. If you want to eat at 6:15 pm at Tribeca restaurant on MSC Seashore, for example, the Concierge team or your butler will make that reservation for you.

Breakfast works a bit differently — one morning, we wanted a change of scenery for breakfast, so we showed up at Central Park Restaurant on MSC Seashore without a reservation and were seated immediately.

Private MSC YAct Club Pool Deck

Guests of MSC Yacht Club have a private pool deck with several pool and whirlpool options. It was great to have a private enclave like this onboard, which is also where the private outdoor grill is.

Room Service at No Extra Charge

Yacht Club guests can order room service — including breakfast, lunch, or dinner — without an additional fee. A favorite thing that we discovered as Yacht Club guests is that we could order a pizza to our room between noon to around 11:30 pm. Room service and pizza delivery incur an extra charge for non-Yacht Club guests. (There is complimentary pizza on the buffet, but there's nothing like pizza delivery to your stateroom!)

The MSC Cruises pizza was quickly declared our favorite cruise ship pizza; it's really good.

Spacious Suites with Upgraded Features

Speaking of ordering food to your room, our Yacht Club suite was incredibly spacious and had more perks in addition to what the Yacht Club areas offer guests. We were in a luxurious private enclave with key card access, which included access to all Yacht Club staterooms.

Our room, 16047, was on Deck 16 of 20 on MSC Seashore and had a seating area and a spacious bathroom with an outdoor balcony. It was so spacious that there was a seat in the large shower if we wanted to sit and let the rain showerhead (one of two showerhead options) wash over us.

The mini bar in the room was included in our Yacht Club experience. There was also a Nespresso machine for coffee any time, like if we wanted a morning coffee after we woke up before we headed to breakfast. (And we must admit that we like to enjoy morning coffee on our suite balcony each cruise.)

Two Yacht Club robes were hung on the bathroom door for our use. There was plenty of drawer and closet space. In fact, there were two closets, and we each claimed one for our week-long MSC Seashore vacation.

A long vanity doubled as a desk for us to work remotely while cruising. Our big balcony had two chairs and a little table for us to relax outside; there was even a light to illuminate the balcony at night.

A wireless charging station was one of our favorite features of our Yacht Club suite. We placed our phones or AirPods on the charger, and voila, the item charged! Though our devices charged faster if they were directly plugged into the wall, we still used the wireless charging several times throughout the cruise.

Daily Turndown Service

When we got back to our room each night, the bed was ready for us to sleep. There was also a box of MSC Yacht Club sweets, like fruit jellies, macarons, or biscotti, to look forward to, along with a bottle of water and a glass next to each side of the bed.

The extra special touches are something to look forward to as an MSC Yacht Club guest.

Pillow Menu

If you have any needs as far as bedding goes, especially if you're sensitive to pillow allergies, there is a pillow menu for Yacht Club guests that isn't widely known about. You can ask your butler or the concierge desk to look at the menu and select a pillow. The options when we sailed included:

• OXYGEN Dorelan Myform Air pillow
• SENSE Dorelan MyForm Memory Ergonomic Air pillow
• SHADOW DorelanMyform special ortho-cervical pillow
• Natural down pillow with thermo-variable properties

Concierge Desk Assistance, 24 hours a Day

Another perk of being in MSC Yacht Club is a dedicated concierge desk, which is akin to a front desk for Yacht Club guests. It's located in the exclusive MSC Yacht Club area after doors accessible with Yacht Club keys, only, so other guests can't access it.

We noticed a long line for general guests needing assistance with dining and Wi-Fi, for example, right after we embarked. But we didn’t have to wait in that line. When we wanted to make specialty dining reservations as soon as we got onboard, we waited in a much shorter line with just two couples ahead of us at the MSC Yacht Club Concierge Desk. 

When time is money and your vacation days are finite, waiting in line isn’t a great use of precious time. The private concierge team is worth the MSC Yacht Club investment!

MSC Yacht Club Butler Service

Yacht Club guests have a dedicated butler at their service. There is a team of approximately ten butlers or so that assist with five or so staterooms each from what we could tell during our cruise. (MSC Yacht Club capacity on MSC Seashore is around 320 guests, which is the guest capacity of a Windstar Star class ship if you've ever sailed with them.)

We admit that whenever we have a butler at our fingertips — from yacht cruises to luxury resorts like Jade Mountain — we aren’t great at utilizing them. However, we appreciated that MSC Yacht Club ensures you use your butler. From the moment we embarked, a butler was there to escort us around the ship when needed or if we wanted assistance getting from Point A to B.

One day, our butler saw us before heading to our specialty dining reservation, and it was a lot faster to have him come with us, navigating the most efficient route to Kaito Sushi restaurant than if we had tried to get there on our own.

Here are Ways to Utilize Your MSC Yacht Club Butler

You can also easily call the restaurants or spa directly from your stateroom phone if you prefer.

Yacht Club Guests Get Daily Thermal Spa Access

Enjoy access to the onboard Thermal Spa for one hour a day at a Yacht Club guest. Additionally, Yacht Club guests get 10% off all spa treatments. We loved that this was a small but significant way MSC Cruises made Yacht Club guests feel extra special. We each had a 55-minute Balinese massage that was incredibly enjoyable.

Premium Drinks and WiFi are included

Premium drinks for msc yacht club guests.

MSC Yacht Club guests have premium drinks included. When you're in the Yacht Club lounge or restaurants, you are served drinks without needing to state your room number or tap your cruise card or MSC bracelet on a computer for the servers; they know everyone in Top Sail Lounge is in the Yacht Club, and there's no need for such a formality. Drinks were also included in the exclusive MSC Yacht Club Ocean House area of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

You can still enjoy the perk of premium drinks when out and about in other areas of the ship. Beverages that cost up to $16 are included in the price. If you wish to get anything above that cost, you pay an additional nominal fee. We loved the drinks at the Cocktail Bar on the ship and frequented that area when we wandered around. They have the best cocktail and mocktail menu on MSC Seashore.

Yacht Club Wi-Fi

Onboard Wi-Fi is also included for MSC Yacht Club members. It was pretty good when we sailed in the Caribbean. Photos in text messages took a while to download; however, texts went through fairly quickly, and we could work on our computers, loading emails and websites without issue. The ship's location is likely to impact the connectivity at any given time. The Wi-Fi for Yacht Club guests typically includes two devices per person.

We had a few tech difficulties getting online because the system was new to us, as any cruise Wi-Fi login is new until you learn it. However, the Concierge team was incredibly helpful in getting us situated and online.

Wi-Fi is also included at Ocean Cay; the signal on the island wasn't as strong as on the ship, but we were still grateful for connectivity.

When we're in ports, we use our Solis Wi-Fi hotspot to stay connected, so we don't have to turn on international data plans.

• WiFi on up to 10 devices
• Lightweight and pocket-sized
• Works in popular port cities worldwide

Priority Seating at Shows

Guests are encouraged to reserve seats in the theater for shows within the MSC Cruises app. This is why it is likely that show seating will “sell out” (though shows are not an additional cost). This is opposed to a line like Disney Cruise Line , where you cannot reserve seats in advance. But MSC Yacht Club guests don't need to make a reservation because there's a reserved area for Yacht Club guests. We didn't think we'd need to use that area, but lo and behold, when we arrived at any of the evening shows, they were full.

All we had to do, though, was flash our Yacht Club wristbands or cruise cards, and we were let into the show without an issue. The seating area for Yacht Club guests on MSC Seashore was on the back right of the theater.

Review of Additional MSC Yacht Club Perks

Assorted evening events.

Some nights, there was a piano player in Top Sail Lounge; other nights, guitarists. It reminded us of the wonderfully chill vibe on river cruises at night. We loved aspect of MSC Yacht Club's Top Sail Lounge.

There was an additional special event for Yacht Club guests one evening, called the Starlit Night Party, with DJed music, dancing, dance floor lights, and snacks. Instead of being held outside on the MSC Yacht Club pool deck, it was moved indoors to Top Sail Lounge due to inclement weather.

Special Meeting of the Ship officers (Including the Captain) and Afternoon Tea

Another lovely special event for MSC Yacht Club guests was a Captain's Welcome, where the ship's officers were presented to everyone in attendance, and hors d'oeuvres and drinks were served. The last full day of the cruise while we were at sea, afternoon tea was served in the Top Sail Lounge for Yacht Club guests at 4:00 pm.

MSC Yacht Club-Only Excursions (Additional Cost)

Lastly, there were a few Yacht Club-only excursions that guests could sign up for during our Caribbean cruise. These options vary depending on the itinerary, but the options for our cruise included:

Be sure to ask your butler or concierge team about Yacht Club-only excursions during your sailing.

We Look Forward to Future Yacht Club Sailings

We had a wonderful time as part of MSC's Yacht Club. As cruisers who seek small ship experiences on large ships and favor a low-key vibe in intimate spaces on mega ships as opposed to going to the casino or a nightclub, we cannot imagine cruising with MSC in any other way. We highly recommend it if you like similar experiences and want an exclusive home-away-from-home during your cruise vacation.

I tried a ship-within-a-ship cruise experience and it was worth it for the endless perks—here’s why

The MSC Yacht Club affords travelers a totally different cruising experience, but you’ll have to splurge.

I heard tales of luxury from people about the ritzy MSC Yacht Club , the ship-within-a-ship concept where discerning passengers enjoy their own area of the cruise ship that includes a dedicated restaurant, private lounge, separate pool and sundeck as well as private butlers and concierges to take of any whim while cruising. The elevated Yacht Club boasts priority everything while sailing MSC.

I sailed on a four-night cruise on the new MSC Seashore, a glitzy ship with Italian flair intermingled with references to New York City at every turn. Although the ship was well-appointed and had amazing dining, drinking and entertainment venues, and a bountiful Top Sail main buffet, thousands of passengers made the ship feel crowded at times, elevators were slow, and as I strolled through the general pools, they were boisterous and crowded.

RECOMMENDED: 10 things about cruising on an adults-only ship that might surprise you

Switch gears to MSC Seashore’s Yacht Club, passkey-protected for lucky guests, and is a 180 from the ship’s general spaces. Once you scan your handy Yacht Club wrist badge, or your room key, you’re instantly given entrance to a breathtaking retreat of 131 staterooms and suites. All this luxury does come at a price. Cruise fares will vary based on destination, time of year, and cabin category, but generally speaking you can expect to pay double for the Yacht Club. And from my experience, it’s worth it. Read more about why you should splurge.

You’re fast-tracked through everything

The Yacht Club’s exclusivity and impeccable service standard started from the moment I got dropped off at the Port Canaveral cruise terminal. There were hundreds of people waiting to board at 1pm on embarkation day. I saw in the distance a canopy that said MSC Yacht Club. My husband and I wheeled our carry-on luggage to the representative under the canopy. I gave her my name and within two seconds, she gave me a sticker to wear and up we ascended on the escalator to check in. Just five minutes later, I was directed to the dedicated check-in area for Yacht Club guests. To my right, I saw about 1,000 people serpentine through ropes to do general check-in. I felt a sense of relief; who wants to wait in that line? Five minutes later, a butler from the Yacht Club insisted on wheeling my luggage to board the ship and I was in my room in a total on 12 minutes from the time I stepped foot out of the car to my stateroom in the Yacht Club.

Relaxing and streamlined

In addition, Yacht Club guests have the freedom to get off the ship first for excursions. Your butler will happily escort you off the ship with a smile. Guests also can disembark on the last morning first, which is a big convenience. Your butler walks you right to the place you disembark, bypassing crowds and hassles. Port Canaveral is about an hour away from Orlando International Airport, and we took a 10 am flight home. We didn’t have to linger around until the afternoon for our flight home.

Another perk is that there’s a special seating area in the theater for shows. All the shows were excellent during my voyage. All other ship passengers have to make reservations in advance for shows but that’s not the case for the privileged Yacht Club passengers. As long as you arrive about 10 minutes before any show you choose, a crew member from the Club will allow you entry into a special roped-off section. Again, no rushing through dinner—you have the flexibility to plan your evenings your way.

Your Yacht Club package is packed with remarkable value

The price tag may sound daunting, but there’s lots of value there. All Yacht Club cabins and suites include a premium drink package that covers beverages up to $15. You can use this perk both in the Yacht Club and throughout the ship. In addition, your package includes a two-device Wi-Fi package, which worked well during my sailing. Finally, you get access to the thermal spa suite, which is a place to indulge after a day in port or a sea day. Commonly, there’s a taboo regarding mini-bars, but not in the Yacht Club. It’s stocked each day with the beverages you want; just tell your butler and consider it done.

You get perks ashore too

If your sailing includes a call to Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, Yacht Club guests get an elevated experience there too. Yacht Club guests enjoy a private area, and a dedicated restaurant called the Ocean House. While other ship guests were hosted to a buffet of predictable fare, I enjoyed a lobster roll, and my husband chose carne asada. In my opinion, one thing that could be improved was the tram service to the Yacht Club’s private area. We were told the last tram back was 3:30pm if we didn’t want to trek a 15-minute walk in the heat. Since we were docked in Ocean Cay for the evening and weren’t sailing, I was a bit dismayed by this logistical quirk. I felt like I was keeping an eye on my phone to make sure I didn’t miss the last tram.

You have private areas with curated food and drink and outdoor spaces

Within the Yacht Club complex, there’s the Yacht Club Restaurant, Top Sail Lounge and the One Pool Buffet, which are all exclusive to Yacht Club guests. Obviously, the food and service are steps above other dining venues of the ship, I can vouch for that. Although the food is delicious, if you don’t want to pay extra to dine at the specialty restaurants or fuss in the main buffet, eating three meals a day in the Yacht Club restaurant can get a bit monotonous. The breakfast is the same daily, and lunch and dinner offer a menu with daily specials plus a few standby selections like a hamburger or pasta each day. Although the Yacht Club Restaurant concept is desirable, I would strongly suggest dining in other venues on board, especially for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed specialty dining in Ocean Cay Restaurant, Butcher’s Cut, and Kaito Teppanyaki. I also want to mention that late afternoon high tea is offered daily at the Yacht Club Restaurant. It was one of the nicest I have experienced at sea.

Also available exclusively to Yacht Club passengers is the Top Sail Lounge, which offers panoramic water views and has chef-curated selections from morning through late night. We enjoyed popping into the lounge at all hours to try finger foods and sweets. The One Pool Buffet offers a more casual option for breakfast and lunch by the pool. The buffet has grilled fish, sandwiches and lots of delicious options if you want to dine outside.

There’s also an exclusive area with a private pool and two whirlpools for Yacht Club guests only. The sun deck loungers are very comfortable and I never had to worry about finding a lounger, there are ample. One issue I had was that there was almost no shade on the sun deck; there were shaded day beds for Royal Suite and Owners Suite guests, but beyond those, I couldn’t find any shade, which was disappointing.

You can justify the price at the end of your cruise

Overall, the best way to explain my enthusiasm for my MSC Yacht Club experience is this: it’s better to book an interior stateroom in the Yacht Club than a luxe cabin outside the Yacht Club. It’s worth the splurge and you return home feeling truly pampered and it’s money well-spent. And I make this prediction: Once you try a ship-within-a-ship concept like the MSC Yacht Club, you won’t want cruise any other way. Bon Voyage!

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

Msc yacht club menus (2024) | top sail lounge nights 4, 5, and 6.

There is so much food to enjoy in MSC’s private dining venue Top Sail Lounge – a private dining venue that is exclusive to MSC Yacht Club guests. The Yacht Club is MSC’s “ship within a ship” concept that features exceptional service, exclusivity, and some amazing food and drink options.

Last week, we shared nights 1-3 dinner menus and photos in the Top Sail Lounge. This week we’re sharing MSC Yacht Club Menus for nights 4-6 in the Top Sail Lounge. I hope you enjoy the menus and the photos! We’ll be back next week with our final installment of nights 7-9 .

MSC Yacht Club – Night Four Dinner Menu

Night four’s menu had me stumped: there were two main dishes I wanted to try, but which should I choose?? Not to worry, our friendly waiter insisted I get both!

For my Starters, I ordered the Beef Tartare and the Provencal Country Vegetable Soup from the Deliciously Healthy portion of the menu. For my entrées, I ordered both the Pumpkin Risotto (are you picking up a theme yet?) and the Roasted Vegetable Tajine. Because I had two entrées, I decided to order dessert from the healthy portion of the menu and I got the Crispy Tulip. “Filled with vanilla ice cream and diced strawberries” sounds good, right? This was probably my most disappointing dessert all week; back to the regular desserts for me!

MSC Yacht Club – Night Five Dinner Menu

Night five was a unique dining experience as we were late to dinner. But I promise, it was for a good reason: we Live Streamed sail away as we were the first ship to ever pass by Icon of the Seas at night in PortMiami. The ship happened to make her first stop in Miami while we happened to be ported there, so we spent the day capturing video footage and tons of photos!

Because of our late arrival at 8:15, and the fact that we had tickets to Rock Circus at 9pm, our waiter informed us we would only have time to order an entrée for our dinner. Any guesses what I ordered? If you guessed the Famer-Style Creamy Risotto, you would be right! Rocky ordered the Spring Rack of Lamb with Fine Herbs in Mustard Shallot Sauce.

MSC Yacht Club – Night Six Dinner Menu

Once again, on Night Six we were pressed for time at dinner as we were docked at MSC’s private island Ocean Cay, and we didn’t want to miss the “Lighthouse Light Show” outside. So, we decided to… gasp… skip dessert!

Even though I don’t like seafood, I had to continue the theme of the week! To start, I ordered the Lemon-Scented Creamy Oyster Risotto. Ok. Maybe I took this “order risotto every night” thing too far. This was the grittiest, saltiest, seafoodiest dish I’ve ever ordered in a restaurant. Every bite had crunchy things in it like sand. Definitely not. lol

I also ordered the Asparagus in Tarragon Sauce. The puff pastry looked beautiful, but the dish overall was very bland. Finally, for my entrée, I ordered the Paccheri Pasta with Traditional Cured Speck.

Top Sail Lounge in the MSC Yacht Club on MSC Preziosa

While the MSC Yacht Club is considered a “private oasis of luxury and amenities,” it’s the Top Sail Lounge that could be considered social central.  It’s here that you can meet up with friends, old and new, and have a drink, relax, and take in the view.  

The MSC Yacht Club is located forward on the MSC Preziosa  with the Top Sail Lounge  situated on deck 15 near the Concierge Reception area.  You’ll always find plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the view while sipping on a cocktail.  I loved running down to the Top Sail Lounge after spending the day in port and grabbing a cocktail and a quick bite.  It was never packed but for the last morning of the cruise.  Disembarkation day was a bit crazy as you have to exit your suite and wait in the Top Sail Lounge , which while big, was never meant to accommodate every guest of the MSC Yacht Club .  You’re then escorted off the ship according to your suitcase tags.  But for this one  situation, the rest of the time it was an absolute pleasure to frequent the Top Sail Lounge . 

TSG Tip : There is an emergency exit door on deck 15 that you would think you shouldn’t open. However, this is a back entry into the Top Sail Lounge so you don’t have to go through the Concierge Reception Area.  The alarm doesn’t go off and it’s perfectly acceptable to use this door for entry or exit into the Top Sail Lounge .  

Let’s say you’re hungry, but you don’t want to leave the MSC Yacht Club or your suite.  Don’t worry as the Top Sail Lounge will have you covered no matter what time of day.  Here’s an example of what’s available and when in the Top Sail Lounge :

7:00 – 11:00 Continental Breakfast 12:00 – 16:00 Snack 16:00 – 17:00 High tea 18:00 – 22:00 Apéritif 22:00 – 2:00 Sweet temptation (fruits & petit four)

High tea was a nice surprise one afternoon as it included table side service from one of the butlers in full dress including those spotless white gloves.  Scones, sandwiches, and sweets were included in the tea tray as well.  I passed on the meat sandwiches, obviously, but it was a beautiful set up and something nice to experience at least once while on the cruise.  

Cocktail time!  I’ve been known to want to work my way through the cocktail list and I did try it on MSC Preziosa .  While I had a glass of wine with dinner on most nights, I stuck with a few of my favorites in the Top Sail Lounge .  These included a Margarita, a Caipirinha, and a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri. 

What will it be today? A Long Island Iced Tea or a Bloody Mary? Want to see what drinks are available in the Top Sail Lounge ?  This is the complete menu in English, which is also the same menu you’ll find at The One Bar .  

You may think this is just another bar on another cruise ship, but it’s not.  Besides the great view, top notch service, and convenient proximity to our suite, having everything included in our cruise fare was nothing short of spectacular.  Granted, these days you can pretty much purchase one of the all you can drink packages although I’m fairly positive the cruise lines don’t promote them that way. But when you look at the overall benefits of sailing in the Yacht Club, you can see that this is one of the many reasons why a cruise in a suite on the MSC Yacht Club is well worth it.  If you’re thinking of experiencing a more luxury driven vacation, consider one of the Fantasia-class ships like the MSC Preziosa from MSC Cruises for your next cruise. 

The Top Sail Lounge and Outdoor Deck in the Yacht Club on the MSC SeaSide

The Top Sail Lounge in the Yacht Club on the MSC Seaside has got to be my new all time favorite Lounge. Complete unobstructed forward views, an indoor lounge with upstairs restaurant and an outdoor deck that wraps around the entire front of the ship. The bar is massive and there are light snacks and even high tea served daily. You can start your morning with a light breakfast in the lounge, grab the best cappuccino ever or have a mimosa. Or walk up the beautiful stairs and have an amazing full breakfast.

Lunch has yummy snacks during the day and amazing cocktails of course.

Dinner in the Yacht Club is delightful. Live music from an amazing pianist and violinist fills the lounge as you dine on fantastic food and drink.

Grab an after dinner drink in the lounge and head out to the outside deck, warm summer breezes and a modern but chill environment makes the outdoor deck of the Yacht Club one of my all time favorite places to be.
