"Let me be surrounded by luxury, I can do without the necessities" Oscar Wilde. "Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities" Frank Lloyd Wright. These two quotes epitomize the feeling you will receive sailing aboard MSC's Yacht Club. We booked a lovely cabin #16007 the Sophia Loren designed ‘red’ Royal Suite. It is a bit too small for a ‘Royal Suite’ by industry standards. It is situated forward and subjected to rocking, rolling, swaying and pitching to and fro. If you are prone to sea sickness do not book this cabin. Noise from above, the One Pool; with children running amok during the day and deck hands preparing the lounges every morning at 5:30 AM. You will have an uninviting and unappealing balcony, where Wi-Fi will not work. That being said, did not stop us from booking 2 future cruises on board for the MSC Seaside based on everything else and more you will receive in Yacht Club service. There was reserved theatre seating for all performances. We found the balcony perfect with the added bonus of glass partitioning the two balcony rows which provided those seated in the front row a level of cough and sneeze protection from those behind you. We loved the YC dedicated elevator which only serviced the Yacht Club. The center two main elevators servicing all floors below the Yacht Club and Yacht Club provided members with non-stop access up or down from the Yacht club using our room key cards. Never a long wait. We noticed an unadvertised 2nd day boat drill for those that missed the mandatory 1st day boat drill. I questioned the muster station attendant and asked who the drill was for and his reply was it was for all passengers who missed the 1st days drill. These lucky few did not have to put up with over clogged elevators, giving them more time on day 1 to unpack, shower and not rush to an early dinner reservation or climb the flight of stairs from deck 7 to deck 16 Yacht Club staterooms. The YC ‘One Pool’ deck always had available lounge chairs although hardly any in the shade. We ordered 2 attachable lounge chair umbrellas in anticipation of our next return cruises. The YC lounge is a quiet, comfortable large area encompassing the entire width of the ship with the best ocean views coveted by all passengers, but exclusive only to YC members. It provided butlers serving drinks and all manner of tasty morsels. Outside the YC lounge is a concierge staffed desk 24 hours with CCTV providing security in the YC public areas and halls. Pizza delivered to your door in pizza restaurant pizza boxes. All you can eat Venchi gelato. Inclusive beverage package for the average 32 drinks per passenger per day. World newspapers of your choice which they print up each morning, printed on large tablet paper and found hanging outside on your door handle in a blue satchel. The Italian flat spring water comes in glass bottles and appears to taste much better than the water we are accustomed to drink in plastic bottles. Unlimited orange lounge chair towels. Limit of 2 towels for everyone else, strictly enforced. At least 2 different varietals of all types of wine to choose from at meals, not limited to 2 ‘house’ wines like another not to be mentioned cruise line. Le Muse is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, even in port. A big plus for those of us who have no desire to get off the ship and are forced to look for another venue, or worse, skip a meal than dine in a buffet. I think I just talked myself into another Yacht Club booking. Those who sail in the MSC Yacht Club will sail no other way in the future. They will be permanently spoiled. MSC is setting a new standard in a ‘ship within a ship’ concept.
