We're looking for a minimal kids experience. Are there a lot of kids in the MSC Yacht Club areas since they are not age restricted?

Lately (2024) NCL has been taking benefits away. Have you done any videos with comparisons recently? Examples include dropping the P+ for drink packages and the Spa rooms (gives access to the thermal spa). Has MSC dropped similar benefits?

Just a comment about spa access. There is a sauna and cold room on the Haven deck with the infinity pool that is open to all Haven guests regardless of suite level. Prima class lounges are large and as noted the bartenders are just fantastic.

Great video comparing the two. We've always wondered about the upgraded areas on both cruise lines. As you know, we're kinda Celebrity snobs, but this definitely give us something to think about. Keep up the good work you two (three with Poppie).

I think this was a great summary of the two products. Honestly both are super nice in our experience and anyone would be fortunate to sail on either. We have future bookings on both. I personally find the room variety on the Haven nice and gives you flexibility especially if you’re traveling with little ones the extra space is nice.

Ever since we sailed an facing suite with NCL years ago, thats the only way we go now. Its a walk to get to the haven, but we dont mind it for the HUGE wrap around balcony we get.

You guys asked about the benefits in higher suites - As much as they don't really advertise it, they definitely offer better amenities in the highest suites on MSC (Royal or Owners). On my last cruise, my butler showed me a few perks that would make other YC passengers give me the "I hate you" look. I'll skip the fact that these suites are around 1000sqft and the balcony area is insane. I'll just focus on a few added benefits.

First they took me to a private cabana that was always reserved just for this suite and introduced me to a private bartender that only serves these two suites while we are in that area.

Then they had a private Golf cart that was just for these two suites, right outside the ship. It would take us to and from the island, where we didn't have to wait in a line with other YC members.

In my suite, they had 10 full-size bottles of premium alcohol (not the mini bar nonsense that everyone else gets) plus another 10 bottles of mineral/premium water.

I could order from the main dining room from my suite, again a perk I was told was only available for Owners & Royal. And every day I came into my cabin to a huge basket of fruit.

There were a few other amazing details I'll skip for now but probably the best story I got was when I went a bit late to their YC Breakfast Dining...

I don't remember why but their Breakfast, in the main dining, ended at 10am and I was there 45min late (I'll blame this on the stocked bar I raided the night before)...In front of me was a couple that was having a really bad argument with the attendant there, who kept telling them how sorry he was but the Breakfast has been closed for 45min. They were getting really irate when I noticed the Maitre'd come out from the dining room. He began to explain to them that there is no way for them to come inside as the breakfast has been closed for some time now and there are no exceptions...As they were yelling obscenities at him, he noticed that I was standing behind them focused on my phone. At which point he shouted out "Mr K! Are you looking to have breakfast in the dining room this morning?"...I told him, "Yeah, if it's not a problem". He replied "Absolutely, right this way sir", and proceeded to open the locked door for me to walk in...The lady from the couple that was in front of me shouted out "what in the f was that?" and the Maitre'd responded "Oh, he's VIP"...Perhaps YMMV on some of these, especially the last one but this trip was definitely another level of YC, I had no idea existed.

Someone later explained to me how this works on MSC with a simple quote - "All MSC Yacht Clubbers are equal, but some MSC Yacht Clubbers are more equal than others".

I’ve never done either but definitely starting to look at both!

Such a great video! Thanks.
We are both DCL "Platinum" (wife is Marriott Titanium) and we did our first non-DCL cruise in a decade on NCL last Fall. Non-Haven. It was good, not great.

We are trying another NCL on the Getaway this Fall. Yes Haven, as price diff for the Balcony wasnt too large. After booking, now learning about MSC Yacht . . . hmm.

Neither of us drink. I am devoted to Diet Dr Pepper and wife loves her gourmet laté's. NCL loves the upcharges (Disney has very few), so we'll see what is truly "included" and what their Butler can really do.

I think we'll know by the middle of the cruise whether we book NCL's new announced Canada<=>Philly route or investigate MSC and our transferrable status. I will report back.

First MSC booking in YC after sapphire in Haven…. time will tell which is better. Found out they charge for pizza in room but when saving 35%+ I can live with that 🙂
