We just got back from our cruise and had an amazing time! Everyone has been so helpful on the boards and reading everyone else’s experience was instrumental in our choosing MSC. We are in our 40’s and 50’s and we usually cruise NCL and have enjoyed their laid back, casual style. We looked at NCL for our cruise as our first stop and were shocked by the prices. The prices for suites had increased so much that it was now out of our price range. We needed to find another more affordable option. We were looking for a relaxing cruise with a lot of pampering and so we began our research here on CC. We stumbled on MSC Yacht Club as a comparable option to NCL Haven and decided to give it a try.
Miami:
We stayed at the Hampton Inn Brickell. It was a perfect location with plenty of shops and areas to eat right there at the hotel. Beds were comfortable and the free breakfast in the morning was extensive. We were really happy with our choice. It was a quick 10 minute Uber ride from the hotel to the Port.
Cabin was large with plenty of storage. Great walk-in closets. Nice size bathroom with two sinks. The beds were super comfortable and the pillows soft and fluffy.
