Review summary

Did the yacht club and a great value compared to other lines. The perks are awesome and we took advantage of a lot of them. We didn't did any shows. Didn't really explore the ship. We stayed mainly in the yacht club and didn't do much outside of it. We relaxed and took advantage of the yacht club areas. On and off the ship quick. Stocked fridge with beer we asked for. Soda, bottled water, chips all included plus a bottle of our choice of liquor. Enjoyed it so much we booked the same cabin for next year. price was about what a club balcony on ncl would be with more space and perks.

More space than a avg sized cabin. Queen bed. I would prefer a king. Decent sofa for 2. Nice size tv and bigger shower. Bigger than avg sized balcony with 2 chairs and small table

Ship tip

First time msc and first time yacht club and would definitely recommend it.

Was pleasantly surprised at the renovated port. Wasn't completed yet but it's a nice improvement and look forward to seeing it when completed. We just walked around the port
