Little background, we base in US, travel quite often, been to over 40 countries, typically fly 100-150k miles leisure travel a year. First learned about cruising and MSC Yacht Club form Cruise Critic (a guy mentioned this site in another frequent traveler site). Watched many youtube videos, and found YC was an amazing deal to travel in style, and time for a change.

Thanks to many helpful cruisers on MSC board, answered my newbie questions. Special thanks to Cruisergal1208, who I met on board, gave me a lot of useful tips! Not sure if I could use your real name, but anyhow, really great to see you and your husband! Read more
