MSC Yacht Club suite — worth every euro
The MSC Yacht Club is their ship-within-a-ship luxury concept and 16044 is one of the top suites. Private pool, private restaurant, private lounge, dedicated butler service. The suite itself is gorgeous: marble bathroom, king bed, walk-in closet, enormous balcony with a day bed. The butler (ours was named Alessandro) was phenomenal — he learned our preferences by day two and anticipated everything. Coffee appeared before we asked. Dinner reservations materialized for exactly the right time. The Yacht Club restaurant serves a different menu nightly and the quality rivals good restaurants on land. If you are considering MSC and want luxury, Yacht Club is the only way to sail. It transforms the experience from a cruise into a private yacht vacation.
