Creator's Key Takeaways

We sailed on MSE for the first time and we were able to enjoy the yacht club for a week.

Loved it. Yeah, I wasn't sure even with MSE what quite to expect, but World Europa, one of the newest ships, and it was first class.

It is a very different experience in Yach Club versus the rest of the ship.

We're going to be on the Norwegian Aqua. So, one of their newer ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book during wave season (first quarter) for best deals.
Consider MSC Yacht Club for a luxury experience at a lower price.
Look for All-In packages on Celebrity for bundled value.
Travel in March, April, July, August, or October for best river cruise deals.
