MSC Yacht Club Review | MSC Virtuosa

Well, I must say what a fantastic video you've created and you are such a lovely couple. I've been in the YC over 25 times now and if i'm cruising MSC i always book it. I hardly ever leave it as I can't stand all the madness that confronts me when I leave it, people call me all sorts of names for saying that (posh. snooty etc lol) , but it's something I pay for ha ha i find it much better than Celebrity cruises 'the retreat' and NCL's 'The Haven'. I take it it's your first time in the YC and it's changed over the years, a lot of things have got better and some not so good, we used to be met at the airport with a nice car and lots of other things have gone over the years like a bottle of moet each and choc strawberries (some of the head butlers still treat us to this so thats lovely) but it's soooo affordable who can actually complain???? I'm certainly going to like and subscribe as i absolutely loved this and once again thanks for a great Vlog. Take care, hope to see you both on the seas one day and if we meet in the YC i'll buy you both a drink (ha ha)

Hi Linzi & Mark, based on your videos we have booked a YC Duplex suite (12008) on Virtuosa next summer. We have a couple of questions that we hope you can answer because we keep seeing different things across the web. First, can we get a cooked breakfast in room? Second, are miniatures (little vodkas, gins, etc) replaced as they are used in the minibar? Some reviews say it’s non-alcoholic drinks only as there is a bottle of spirits/wine per person at the start of the cruise & after any initial miniatures are used that’s it. Third, can speciality coffees & drinks from the bar be delivered to the suite? This would be useful as our suite is outside the main YC area. Thank you.

What a lovely channel and narration! Got Yacht club on a bid- so excited! x

This video is an absolute delight. I just booked a Yacht Club cruise for our family and I wanted to see what I have to look forward to. Thank you so much! Subscribed. Love the natural way you both narrate it. Cheers!

A brilliant review! thank you for doing this. really enjoyed watching it, and listening to you chat about it. cheers!!!

Explorar I for me not this! worst wifi ever on this ship

Looks fantastic. Are MSC going to launch a Yacht Club ship, similar to the Viking cruise ships? We love Viking but find their entertainment more suitable for the elderly and people who like to be tucked up in bed by 9.45pm 🫢

In other words they didn’t want to mingle with the riff raff

I've been on MSC before but not the yacht club. I do have 3 Queen Mary cruises booked and 2 on MSC for next year. If they have any upgrades to the yacht club available I'll book that category. Thank you for your video 👍

Yacht Club is the only way to go...yes well worth it..

Getting ready to sail yacht club again on the inaugural MSC Euribia! Nothing better than the yacht club!

We tried Cunard QG - not impressed with all the extras that you had to pay for. Honestly that put me off paying for YC - we’re about to board Virtuosa for a short cruise, to try MSC and decided on a basic, no frills cabin etc. The comparison will be interesting

It is twice the price of a balcony….in Europe

I did two trips on Virtuosa YC last year and 100% agree with everything they said in this video. Only problem is the more people who find out how good it is the more who will book it and prices will go up!

What do you recommend for tip amount for the Butler on a 7 day cruise ?

My Friends the CD on her. He's back in May..Chris Caress. He's from Yorkshire, Sheffield. I'm from Glossop , Derbyshire

YC is to die for. Such a shame the pool/grill area wasn’t open as the food, service there is very good. Butler service is fantastic. Loved our time in YC on Meraviglia.

Love the yacht Club. When we went out the doors we couldn’t wait to get back in. We’ve cruised for about 25 years and discovered the Yacht Club about 5 years ago it’s the only way to cruise.

Was the drink called sex on the beach? SCREAMING ORGASM😂

I’m going to Norway in may on Virtuosa in the Yacht Club and it says all gratuities are included in the price. Just wondering if you felt the need to tip your butler? Great video btw. Can’t wait for my cruise now!

I agree it looks amazing and the standard of food etc in the club looks very good. We went on Virtuosa a few weeks ago in Fantastica class. It was poor on many levels. A very odd business model of extremes.

Hi guys. Boarded today. Afaka is our butler too. He remembers you both!

Wish you stopped interrupting with a constant “yes” 😮😮😮

Ohhh! I was on there at the same time as you. I stared at you a couple of times and now I know why 😂. Thought I’d seen you somewhere before. I loved it too - ok we had a couple of dishes which were underwhelming like rock hard poached eggs, rubbery lobster and horrible soup, but it’s still fabulous and we’ve booked it again for 23 nights. Fantastic experience all round.

One must remember you obviously pay a lot for the yacht club scenario. You pay for what you get. Obviously with Cunard differences you do as well?

I've done Cunard and I've got an MSC Yacht Club booked for Oct. in the Med. Looking forward to it. 🐟🐟🏴‍☠

Trying MSC and YC for the first time this coming Easter week :-) got a real bargain on the inside cabin as a solo traveler.
What were the dinner times in the YC restaurant, and were some times more busy than others for dinner in the YC restaurant?

We can't wait, we are in a Duplex on the May 29th sailing. Looking forward to our first YC experience on the Virtuosa.

We’ve just got back after a week on virtuosa, it just proves that if your willing to spend a fortune then you do get what you pay for, not having a go at all but we had a totally different experience, the food was diabolical in the MDR, all 4 speciality restaurants we went to were not very good either, I think if we’d have not had the drinks package to cheer us up we would have disembarked in Hamburg.

I was on last week. had a very nice balcony but sadly didnt get the upgrade to yacht club. thanks to your video i will be going yacht club next time.

Really enjoyed your review guys, thanks 🙏

Hi both. Just wanted to ask did you purchase the yatch club cabin outright or did you bid for it and if you did bid, what cabin type were you to start with? Thank you.

Great video, we did the yacht club on Virtuosa last year. Amazing, great food, service and drinks. Best disembarkation ever with the butler. Back on end of April for three days with the cruise monkeys and put in a bid for yacht club.

The yacht club all looks very glitzy, not just the stairs.

If you wanted to see a show do you still have to book when you are in yacht club great video we are now looking to book yacht club

If you win the Yacht Club bid, do you have full privileges?

Great video! Very informative.

Hi can I ask if you have a video of your daily routine onboard a cruise ship please ❤

Great video, will look to book YC.
What is a good target price for YC / 7 nights per person for two ?

Another great video you are going to find it hard to better .PS did you manage to meet anyone in a accessable room?

Love you two always enjoy your vlogs. We are in the Retreat on the Beyond in September we are hoping it will be as good as the yacht club . 🤞

It looks like a very different experience. It will be interesting to compare to our first experience of Virtuosa at the end of April in steerage class.

Wow will you cope with a normal cabin again!!!?

Hi Mark and Linzi,

I am happy you two had a great cruise and that you were pampered as much as you were. I hope it's not a hard act to follow going forward.

Cheers,

Steve

Love this! We’re on Virtuosa in YC in September/October. We’ve been on Celebrity in the Retreat a number of times and so far that has been the best experience. Really looking forward to comparing. Thanks for this great video. 😊

Now that looked like an absolutely wonderful cruise experience....very jealous indeed! 🤟

I have never considered MSC before, but you have made me reconsider. Could you just explain what you paid, for how long, and how the bidding system works? I mainly cruise with Cunard, which I obviously enjoy. I’m not keen on crowds, queues or lots of rowdy kids, so your experience here looked very intriguing to me! Did you try the Spa too?

The whirlpools 😂. Wow so many wows, the food the service…..it’s really got us in mood for euriba yacht club in October.
Quick question how was it evenings? Did it feel like one big cross nest? Did feel need to go to watch show etc? Thanks for the video

We only got about two minutes in before we both said we need to book this 😂
Looks amazing and can’t wait for the rest of the videos
