MSC Yacht Club Luxury Cruising Without the Price

MSC Divina Yacht Club 

Amidst the hustle of taxis and minivans, we arrive at the Port of Miami. A porter greets us at our shuttle bus. “Welcome to the Yacht Club,” he announces. We are swiftly guided to a private tent. The gentleman efficiently checks us in on the computer, hands us an MSC Card, and prints out new luggage tags. A butler collects our smaller bags and says, “Please, follow me.” We enter through a side door, showing our MSC Cards as we proceed. After a quick security check, we’re led into a room filled with champagne and cookies.

We swiftly present our credentials to another clerk, pose for a quick photo, and receive the green light. We step aboard the ship, where we're guided on how to use our card to access the Yacht Club reception via the elevator, along with an offer for more champagne. After a few moments, we are introduced to the concierge, who leads me to the self-service machine, where I swipe my MSC Card and a credit card.

We stowed our small bags in our room while our butler, Aaron, provided us with a tour of the space. Afterward, still dressed in our casual attire, we returned to the concierge to ask about lunch options. Mae, one of the butlerettes, kindly escorted us across deck 15 to the Muse, the exclusive restaurant of the Yacht Club, where we ordered a hamburger and a Caesar salad.


Once our luggage arrived, we took the opportunity to explore the pool area and the One Pool Bar. The pools were a refreshing 72 degrees, while the spas were comfortably set at 98 degrees F. The Mai Tai's were pleasantly chilled at about 40 degrees. Aaron, our butler, secured our dinner reservation for 7 pm, noting that it would be at the same table for the week. He then guided us to the Muse for dinner, where I savored the lasagna Portofino and Shirley enjoyed the lamb shank.

The Yacht Club offers a range of exclusive privileges. Our butler personally guided us to the exit ramp, allowing us to bypass the crowd, and unfastened the rope line to usher us to the front of the queue. Similarly, when we scanned our key card in the elevator, it automatically directed us to the Yacht Club, ignoring any other illuminated buttons. While this perk wasn't consistently reliable, it was definitely better than having none at all. In the evenings, MSC reserves seats in the theater specifically for Yacht Club guests. However, since these seats were located towards the back, we opted to forgo that experience.
