The YachtClub is affordable luxury cruising. Wonderful staff, helpful and friendly. But average food to be YachtClub. Still I would recommend MSC Cruises YachtClub as really nice way of cruising.

Review summary

We were overall satisfied with our YachtClub experience on MSC Divina. We were pampered and felt VIP. But average food and pricy internet* brings down the total experience. * We bought the Premium Internet with 7GB, thinking it would give us good daily usage. (I have 5GB in my telephone subscription and I never use it up in a month. And I am a an airlinepilot, always travelling outside of wifi areas) On the boat it was used up in 60 hours. One MB at land is apparently not 1MB at sea. They claim it was due to Apple products, even though I turned off automatic updates. We bought additional 3,5 GB, it disappeared in no time. We complained and they withdrew the servicecharge - which was fair. About same amount. Credit to MSC for that.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Free seating at Le Muse restaurant at Yacht Club. The waiters were inexperienced. Ex: they never asked for what sauce or potatoes for beef. We meet a chef and he said they have it all for YachtClub - just ask for it. My wife likes soup and on the last day they told us they have had onionsoup every day. The food was average. Otherwise, friendly and helpful crew all day.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Fitness center had state-of-the-art equipment, but it was crowded and the air should be airconditioned.

Service and Staff

The crew did their best they could, all the time. Some where inexperinced, a lot of newbies, since crew had to start on their new ship MSC Seaside.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I find the ship tight and crammed, personally I like RCL layout better...Also since we were on the YachtClub one would expect the main restaurant Le Muse to be on the same part as the rest of the YachtClub, but it was actually all the way in the back, not in the front.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

YachtClub cabin is the same size as RCLs standard balconycabin. Cleanliness was fine, up to standard.
