MSC Yacht Club: ALL 37 BENEFITS! What's really included?! Cruise Info

ALL the PERKS I found LISTED BELOW, comment if you think I missed something! Hopefully not!
1. Separate Priority Check-in process with exclusive luggage drop & check in area at the cruise terminal entrance
2. After quickly checking your papers they hand you over to a butler to guide you through priority boarding (& carry your bags)
3. Next is an area with drinks so you can sit down for your paperwork & passport to be checked over champagne & nibbles.
4. You get a wristband as well as a cruise card.
5. Priority (and escorted) disembarking and embarking throughout your trip, even at tender ports
6. Check in is possible from 10am (I saw 9am happen). My cabin was ready when I arrived
7. Your cruise card is also your Priority Lift Pass (makes the lift only stop at the floor you want)
8. Cruise card also acts as a Security Pass to get into Yacht Club
9. Internet is included for 2 devices. I believe it is 2 devices per person but please check that. (NB: you cannot switch devices once logged on)
10. Yacht Club Concierge is open 24 hours a day & will organize anything they can: private shopping, restaurant bookings, tailor made excursions, even bring jewellery shopping to your room.
11. 3 private areas for Yacht Club guests:
Top Sail Lounge, Dining Room & Top/Pool Deck
12. Personal Butler service 24hrs throughout your stay (a video is coming to follow this up in detail)
13. Room Service is included and 24 hrs. It is higher quality than the main ship (tested).
14. In your cabin you have a higher quality everything: mattress, egyptian cotton sheets, decor, size (even the internal room)
15. Coffee machine, ice bucket etc are there (although my machine was missing - I used room service which was v quick)
16. All inclusive mini-bar (except the Toblerone and Pringles!)
17. Pillow menu to choose from 4 types
18. Newspaper of your choice (many many choices) printed out & left on your door handle each morning or will come in with breakfast if ordered!
19. Snacks and treats left in your cabin throughout the day and stay - the lemon meringue pies were so yummy
20. Turndowns were wonderful and even water was left by the bed
21. If requested your butler will pack and unpack for you
22. A bottle of champagne, wine or spirits comes as part of the room, you choose and there is no pressure to drink it on board. I was encouraged to use the complimentary bar and save it as a treat for after the holiday.
23. The Pool Deck has a whirlpool, a small private pool, showers, changing rooms/toilets, cabanas, sunbeds (WITH CUSHIONS - unlike the rest of the ship!), smoking area, stunning views. The restaurant is ‘pool bar’ style with many options cooked to order as well as the buffet. Nothing seemed to be too much effort for them, you are served at your sunbed.
24. Top Sail Lounge had wonderful live music each evening which can be heard in the dining room also. Endless canapes & fully stocked bar, high tea is served at 4pm daily and there is a huge cheese trolley to indulge in!
25. The Yacht Club Dining Room has a private kitchen meaning your food is of higher quality, comes out piping hot and you can also order off menu and they will try their best to accommodate.
26. Each meal the menu has a Healthy Option menu within it and they base it on a different health food each time - it's really interesting. I enjoyed many of the dishes on the healthy menu
27. Staff have more time to get to know you and genuinely seem to care
28. There is a private lift within the Yacht Club servicing all the suites that are not based on the floors with food and drink amenities
29. Premium drinks package is included and you will find it hard to find a drink that this does not cover. It was only the pink champagne that was over budget and I did not have!
30. Access to the thermal spa is included throughout your stay
31. As you have complimentary robes, slippers & wristbands - you can go down to the spa with minimal fuss and feel like a very calm princess!
32. 40% discounts on spa packages (massages etc) if booked on line prior to boarding
33. Same with speciality restaurants. But as the Yacht Club is a speciality restaurant I only ate there!
34. Getting escorted to the theatre or restaurant - if asked - you can get escorted anywhere!
35. Private area in the Theatre for Yacht Club guests only. I was able to take a drink in and also a few times had friends from the main ship join me as there was space
36. The amount of time I saved by being in Yacht Club was unbelievable - I saved so many hours.
37. The Yacht Club was a sanctuary right till the very last moment. Not rushed ever, not even on the final day, if my flight had been later I would have been able to stay for lunch - no problem. I wish I had had a later flight.

WHAT A TRIP!
