Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say my cabin is probably one of the quietest if not the quietest I have had on any Cruise ever

the yacht club gave me was a less busy and a more calm place to escape the manicness of the ship

the service and attention to detail was pretty good but it was varied it was erratic at times

I thought the food was good and I enjoyed it but I did not find it as elevated as on other more premium lines

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the yacht club to avoid crowds and lines on big ships
Consider the service variability when assessing the premium experience

YouTube Video Description

I test out cruising in Yacht Club, a limited access “ship-within-a-ship” on MSC Cruises, to see if it really is better than cruising as a “regular” passenger and if it is worth paying the premium for the experience and the perks.
