We chose MSC Divina because we sailed on her before and they were offering a great value of 2 people for the price of 1. Two weeks before our cruise, MSC called to offer us a very special promotion of $50 per person per day to be upgraded to their MSC Yacht Club and we did it!

Wow!! We were treated like royalty with our own butler and special privileges including complimentary mini bar with your choice of drinks and snacks along with special accommodations in a large suite with walk-in-closet, marble bathroom, upgraded toiletries and towels, slippers and house robes. Also we had unlimited drinks of any kind, not to mention the private lounge, private pool, private bar, private restaurant. The Yacht Club area is located at the front of the ship on the top 3 decks and was very quiet, no kids running in the halls and was very peaceful.

MSC is a privately owned cruise line and they offer a program called "Loyalty Match", which I wish other cruise lines would do. We are platinum level on the Disney Cruise Line and MSC matched us with their top tier level of Black Card. This level had some very nice perks and we were invited to a private reception hosted by their Hotel Staff and Director, Migel. He told us that MSC has 11 more ships in production and the Loyalty Match program is a way they can introduce guests to experience what MSC has to offer. Read more
