We upgraded our MSC experience to Yacht Club due to the size of the ship and number of passengers onboard. What a great decision that was - a fantastic experience from start to finish from the large Suite to the 24 hour Butler and mini-bar. Priority seating for shows and embarkation and disembarkations also. If we ever decide to do MSC again it will 100% be in Yacht Club.

We had dinner in the Opera Restaurant and our two waiters were amazing. They were kind, friendly and professional. They were genuine in how we were, what we had been doing and ensuring that we received the best service. We were on table 934 and all in the restaurant were polite and friendly and the food was amazing. Not one meal was below standard all exceeded so well done to the chef. Our housekeeping responsible for our room did an excellent job our ensuring our room was clean and tidy.
The staff that work on the information desk need some recognition for the job they do. The time I went to visit them they were helpful ensured I walked away full satisfied that my queries had been answered. I also witnessed the constant barrage of rudeness and aggression that they receive often and on a daily basis. It was so unfair for them to have to endure this but they all remained professional which they do need to be rewarded for.
