AD- Thank you for watching this video and a huge thank you to MSC for inviting to check out the beautiful MSC Yachtclub! I want to make it very clear that while MSC did invite me on board for this experience my thoughts are my own and I truly did have a great time. I’m genuinely looking forward to my next visit.

My wife and I have been cruising in the MSC Yacht Club since 2016 after our kids grew up and we left Disney. And we never left; it is a fantastic cruising experience and we always try to get two in each year.
My wife and I have sailed in the yacht club a number of times in the last year. It has completely ruined my wife. She will never go back to the other side. I am destined to go broke.
This was a really good video. I really liked the luxury and think this video will be good promotion for MSC. The videography was perfect. I am not sure I would want a butler unpacking my luggage (like underwear and slinky stuff), but the rest of it looked quite fabulous.
we ended up winning a upgrade bid on our very first msc cruise on the seaside, our experience was much like yours, and i dont think I could get on a msc ship without the yacht club. the food was outstanding, the butler was fantastic. I wake up at home some mornings whishing I could go up to the pool bar and get a perfectly made to order burger with one of their custom aromatic cocktails. and as far as say yacht club vs haven while ncl is my favorite line I think msc wins the ship within a ship race
My 93 year young mom takes me on 1 or 2 cruises per year on Celebrity. I love the line and have always enjoyed my cruises. I always thought MSC was a crappy cruise line but boy have you changed my perception. I would live to try out the yacht club! Looks amazing!!! Btw, every time that you say "My wife" I just love the sound of it. I have loved you forever and fell in love with Lauren on the way. I am so happy for the two of you. I hope one day you guys will bring a beautiful baby into the world. Love from Delray Beach!💕
Your video is very good, congratulations! We have been cruising in the Yacht Club here in Brazil since 2023 and as we say to our friends is "no way back". Once you know it, you don't want a lower experience anymore
We tried MSC Yacht Club for the first time this year having cruised for 12 years and I have to 100% agree with every comment you made. Its a truly amazing experience that I too hope to repeat one day.
Wow, your own Butler 24/7 and a luxury suite!!!! This was a famous movie star style treatment!!!! You deserve it all too!! I just wish Lauren was able to share this perk with you ❤️❤️ If I could afford such luxury, MSC Yacht Club is the way to go! 🛥️🛥️
Nice video, you explain and showcase the yacht club really well! Last month I went on my first ever cruise, went on MSC Seascape. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience, loved it!!
This sounds alot like The Star Class on Royal Caribbean which my wife and I did a few years back. Differences: we had a Genie instead of a Butler and I don’t believe we had an independent pool area and definitely not the elevator situation, but everything else was pretty similar. We also had an up and downstairs suite. Thanks for sharing this. After seeing this video we definitely want to cruise on MSCs Yacht Club. We weren’t ready to get off of ours either, but we had to turn into pumpkins as soon as we stepped off of the ship😂
Just so everyone knows - we have taken three Yacht Club cruises, and never, EVER, has the Butler offered to pack or unpack. We definitely did not ask, nor expect this - but so many TH-cam reviewers keep saying this as a perk - and I want to set expectations that the Butlers are very attentive, very kind - but very busy and the pack/unpack service might be more of a treat for TH-cam reviewers and not really something that occurs for us ‘normal’ YachtClub peeps. …still an AMAZING experience - Just helping set realistic expectations
Of course they get the red carpet treatment because I am pretty certain that the staff knows very darn well that they are doing video reviews on their ships. I'm guessing management really advises them to be offering the best top-not service all around. I find it hilarious that his title in this video is his honest review. It should be his review bought and paid for by MSC. That's the reality
@@AngieRTaylor I am a normal Yacht Club peep and not a TH-camr. We have been in the yacht club numerous times. This is a very honest review and mirrors my experience. As far as the unpacking service it is a perk. It is clearly stated and all you have to do is ask if it is not offered by the butler. Just setting realistic expectations.
@AngieRTaylor how many times did he say, "MSC yacht Club"? It was for a promotional reason. I lost track and it got very annoying to hear him say it about every other sentence.
Don’t doubt yourself. Your posts are always spot on and very pleased you enjoyed it. Personally, as much as I love cruising, a ship with more than 800 passengers is not appealing to me, but I totally understand why they are so popular and hey,each to his own.
I’ve never been on a cruise but I just love watching your videos. Informative, interesting, and always entertaining. You know how to keep me on the edge of my seat.
Good Monday Afternoon My Friend J I Would Like To Thank You So Much For What You Do For All Of Us Much Blessings And Love Always Ms British Y. Gray From Tampa Florida
Hey J. Been waiting for this review as I’ve heard only great things re:yacht club. Lovely stateroom suite. Beautiful lounge and pool deck with bar & grill. Oh they had a yacht club area on their private island. Very nice. Nice you could stay in the yacht club areas or frolic throughout the ship. Thanks for sharing your experience. Positive as expected.
Thanks for this review, because I’ve only sailed with MSC once, and it was OK, but embarkation and the food wasn’t exactly the best, so I wondered about the yacht club. I will definitely try it after listening to your thoughts.
Emma Cruises tried it as well. One thing Jay made his reservations at the exclusive Concierge. He did not have to. His butler could do it for him. Any food on board can pretty much be ordered as room service. If you see it around at a club, bar, cafe, etc ask and it can be delivered. Really will ruin a person. lol.
I can't wait for YC on the World America next May. First MSC cruise also. Also, now that you have done the ship within a ship concept, it is really hard to go back! I need another job just to keep up with the cruise fares, lol
My very first cruise ever was in 2018 on Seaside in gen pop. Everyone was saying how awful they were but I had an amazing time and enjoyed the food. My second time on MSC was in Yacht Club and I have gone back to several times always in yacht club because there is nothing else like it. I’ve done retreat (which cost me double what yacht club cost) and it was just ok. I’ve done Haven (which almost cost 3 times as much as yacht club) and again, it’s ok. I like my yacht club experience so much I’ve booked with Explora Journeys and I can’t wait.
Thank you very much for this review of MSC YachtClub. I was partial to Royal Caribbean, but now I will expand my interests. By the way, I am glad you are referring to MSC by their actual name.
Hopefully You can get into the Disney Cruise concierge class on the newer ships to compare. It is not ship on ship and no butler, but service is pretty great. Someday maybe with the wife I'd love a vlog.
Was very blessed to be able to take a 7-Day Mediterranean Cruise in the fall of 2021 in a yacht club inside cabin. Really a great International crowd and fantastic conversations with people I would normally never meet. Because it was one of the first cruises after covid there were not a lot of people on board but the experience in the yacht club was over the top. I will never see the pricing like that again and unfortunately as a solo cruiser I can no longer afford to be in the yacht club.
Hi thank you for sharing your experience at the MSC Yacht Club-it looks amazing! I was wondering about the buffet food: did you find it well-seasoned, or was it a bit on the salty side? I'm considering booking and want to make sure the flavors suit my taste. Thanks so much for your insight!
One point to consider; MSC may honor loyalty programs on other lines, we are Platinum on NCL and MSC granted us Gold. May not work with every line and/or level, but it may be worth checking out.
You said Yacht Club so many times I started rapping Rick Ross. LOL Yes, I will be booking that experience soon. I am planning on booking after I level up to their Diamond status next year.
I have been looking at the MSC for a while after cruising other ships. I absolutely love how big it is, but I’m torn between booking a GP cruise first and then the yacht club would love to get some feedback on that.
Love Yacht Club. Hard to go back to regular cruising. Thought I saw Alisa (EECC) in your video. Jason always has a great cruises, been on a few with that group. Great video but it's a double edge sword, showing people how nice it really is and a very reasonable price for what you get. Hope MSC doesn't raise rates as more people experience it.
@ good point, maybe the expensive modes of transport are trying to price out the average person? American Airlines had little pushback on US Airways (my fav back then) acquisition, JetBlue wants to acquire spirit get rejected and spirit bankrupts.
Ahhhhh, the two of you didn't get to enjoy Yacht Club together!!! QUESTION: would you mind telling how much the (semi)private boat excursion was, at Coz.
Were there people sneaking in who didn’t belong? I’ve been in the Haven a few times without paying because someone before me used things to prop the door open.
I lost count of how many times he said, "MSC Yacht Club". Obviously the is a very biased and paid for review. Which is fine. I am tempted to replay the video and count how many times he said it bit I would probably have to shoot myself before the end of the video. Sheesh!

Same here. We have cruised on many ships and yacht club is the only way we go now
For that $ it had better be!
I must have missed you getting married! Congratulations. Love your videos. Continue the great work.
Lauren and Jay got married this Summer.
I notice he doesn't wear a ring though.
My wife and I have sailed in the yacht club a number of times in the last year. It has completely ruined my wife. She will never go back to the other side. I am destined to go broke.
😂
Good reason for me not to do it 😂

Wife? Guess I haven't been keeping up. Congratulations man! Wish you and the wife all the best!
I don't think anyone knows about this🤣🤣
I was a bit shocked as well. lol. it's probably Lauren. I believe she finally got her green card. congrats to them both
We got upgraded after a min bid to the yacht club on the Meraviglia. It was amazing!!
Wow, your own Butler 24/7 and a luxury suite!!!! This was a famous movie star style treatment!!!! You deserve it all too!! I just wish Lauren was able to share this perk with you ❤️❤️
If I could afford such luxury, MSC Yacht Club is the way to go! 🛥️🛥️

I’ve sailed on the MSC Seashore 3 times (Not Yacht Club) and enjoyed it. Loved Ocean Cay.
MSC sure is giving away a lot of Yacht Club cruises.
This sounds alot like The Star Class on Royal Caribbean which my wife and I did a few years back.

We are judging the dude in the cowboy hat and banana hammock!! Can’t unsee that!!
But we are thinking of Yacht Club one day!! Thanks for the review!!

@ J is always pretty much straight up - no BS - but yes - so MANY Yacht Club reviews right now - it’s getting a bit old on the TH-cam feed.

Welcome to the suite life and glad u enjoyed. Plus I'm glad you hit some good points that I'm looking forward to for future cruise

This one is flying low on the radar. Definitely need to try it. Thanks for your great videos.

Good Monday Afternoon My Friend J I Would Like To Thank You So Much For What You Do For All Of Us Much Blessings And Love Always Ms British Y. Gray From Tampa Florida
I must say that I would not normally be interested in a cruise on such a big ship, but the Yacht Club could make me change my mind.
Hey J. Been waiting for this review as I’ve heard only great things re:yacht club. Lovely stateroom suite. Beautiful lounge and pool deck with bar & grill. Oh they had a yacht club area on their private island. Very nice. Nice you could stay in the yacht club areas or frolic throughout the ship. Thanks for sharing your experience. Positive as expected.
I was just on this ship in August, nice to see the Yacht Club side

His "honest" review which was bought and paid for by MSC. That's hilarious! Never bite the hand that feeds you come to my mind.

Ah I watch you all the time and I was on this same cruise. Sadly a plebeian on the 11th floor. Would have loved to meet you!
Thank you very much for this review of MSC YachtClub. I was partial to Royal Caribbean, but now I will expand my interests. By the way, I am glad you are referring to MSC by their actual name.
I noticed you are saying “wife” and not “girl friend”. Congratulations 🎉 I’m glad to hear 👍🏽 I’ve been hear this for a while but didn’t pay no mind 😊
Hopefully You can get into the Disney Cruise concierge class on the newer ships to compare. It is not ship on ship and no butler, but service is pretty great. Someday maybe with the wife I'd love a vlog.
I didn’t sail on the yacht club but I had a great time on MsC Seaside. I had the best service. I miss is it. I’m about to book it.
Jay, I would love to hear more about this High Tea service! What did you have and did you like it??
Was very blessed to be able to take a 7-Day Mediterranean Cruise in the fall of 2021 in a yacht club inside cabin. Really a great International crowd and fantastic conversations with people I would normally never meet. Because it was one of the first cruises after covid there were not a lot of people on board but the experience in the yacht club was over the top. I will never see the pricing like that again and unfortunately as a solo cruiser I can no longer afford to be in the yacht club.
I hope one day to do the MSC yacht club. I will keep praying and saving to do so.😊
Wonderful review.
Definitely on our list to try. We will get pampered for once with all the money we are paying 😂
Great video, am going to try the yacht club on our next cruise on MSC. Thanks for the information ❤
Great video and what an awesome experience!
Nice review. Actually made me want to look into this
Deffo on my wish list, depending on Southampton departure dates👍
Of course it should be amazing since it is about 3 times the price of a regular cabin.

You said Yacht Club so many times I started rapping Rick Ross. LOL Yes, I will be booking that experience soon. I am planning on booking after I level up to their Diamond status next year.
The only way I would go back on an MSC if I can stay in the yacht club I want to listen to your review
They are no longer the Mafia Shipping Company when they give you a free cruise.
I remember that too!
You should try NCL’s Haven and compare it against Yacht Club!
I agree! A comparison to The Haven, The Retreat and Explora Journeys vs Yacht Club would definitely be a ‘viral ‘ video
I have been looking at the MSC for a while after cruising other ships. I absolutely love how big it is, but I’m torn between booking a GP cruise first and then the yacht club would love to get some feedback on that.
Loved this video, if I go on MSC, it's YachtClub for me!
You love in Tampa!? Bro thats so cool! Me too!
Love Yacht Club. Hard to go back to regular cruising. Thought I saw Alisa (EECC) in your video. Jason always has a great cruises, been on a few with that group. Great video but it's a double edge sword, showing people how nice it really is and a very reasonable price for what you get. Hope MSC doesn't raise rates as more people experience it.
I must have missed you getting married, congratulations to you both.
This is just like staying in the Rockstar Suite on Virgin but, on Steriods definitely on my cruise bucket list
MSC its seems like this cruise ship is just for grown-ups on kids. Congratulations on the married and God bless always safe travels. 😮
I'm going on MSC Euribia next year in the early months but as gen pop, seems like MSC has improved since the mid 2010s
Love this boat jus missed you too
We book the YC interior, the best deal in cruising
How did you get it? I've looked way ahead on their website, and they're sold out on every cruise I checked!
@@lynnettematteson2202 Booked our next one 15 months in advance, while aboard the ship and in the YC
Oh tea time is my vibe!!!
First video Jay didn't call it the other MSC name. Tells me Jay likes msc now
Sorry I missed some vlogs…. You said my wife (l missed that) congrats!!!!🎊❤️👩❤️👨
Great job
I don't think id be interested in a high tea event. Now if they had an all you can eat macaroni and cheese bar id be interested.
Great information
How about Ben and David in their yacht club experience? Different treatment in different regions?
While editing, did you catch that you said MSC yacht club almost 60 times in that video lol
Do you think it’s worth the extra cost?
Off topic. What brand was your luggage ?
What accommodations for special dietary needs and people with food allergies???
Great review as usual, but that butler better not touch my underwear!😂
Did you say wife?!?! 😮 when did that happen?
As soon as she could spell green card
Ok. I would pay for this. I also I bet you were sick your wife didn’t go. This would have been basically a second honeymoon!
Does the Yacht Club include the drink package?
Yes
Money has its privileges, not sure why people get mad.
I can’t afford a private jet, should I be mad I have to sit in economy on Spirit?
Absolutely, especially when they filed for bankruptcy recently (I believe)
@ good point, maybe the expensive modes of transport are trying to price out the average person?
American Airlines had little pushback on US Airways (my fav back then) acquisition, JetBlue wants to acquire spirit get rejected and spirit bankrupts.
Wow, very nice.
Woah woah woah… you said WIFE!???? Did I miss something or just not picked up that you have always been married????
You missed the wedding this year.
There are also inside cabins with MSC YachtClub it is not suites only! 😊
Is this a re-upload ?
I'm just afraid that if i do the yacht club experience that i wouldnt wanna settle for anything less after that 😂
Ahhhhh, the two of you didn't get to enjoy Yacht Club together!!!
QUESTION: would you mind telling how much the (semi)private boat excursion was, at Coz.
Now how is the regular ship i always hear bad things about MSC????
Is the food 😋 good and how's the night club?
Were there people sneaking in who didn’t belong? I’ve been in the Haven a few times without paying because someone before me used things to prop the door open.
Can you tell us the price ??
I lost count of how many times he said, "MSC Yacht Club". Obviously the is a very biased and paid for review. Which is fine. I am tempted to replay the video and count how many times he said it bit I would probably have to shoot myself before the end of the video. Sheesh!
What's the name of the yacht club? Is it MSC? I cant remember since he barely ever said it likely under 500 times.
This is how they get you. Give you a freebie, then your hooked😂
Why cozumel fav? We dont even get off in cozumel anymore. After 2-3 visits seen in done it.
I have seen past reviews that anyone has access to the YC and it depends on the employee to enforce rules. Has anyone experienced that issue?
I would prefer a self-paid review.
You have sold me hook wine and sinker
We could have done without the dude in the Speedo.
Thought it was Woody Harrelson for a second!🤣
How much would this cost me?
Ocean cay over coco cay trust me
How nice
