- This video focuses on the exclusive yacht club area of the MSC'S Ocean Cay, a private island in the Bahamas and in typical Peter Masella style, I also highlight our approach and departure to and from the ship's docking point.
Sailing in Yacht Club for the first time, Dec 11, 2022…your video makes this all look like pure Heaven! Such a professional production!! Thank you for the time, effort and energy you clearly put in!
YC first time for us, as well, same cruise. Yay!
Thank you Angie!
How did it go ? We just got back from sailing on the MSC MERAVILIGIA from NYC (We're European though) and it was our 1st MSC cruise (we've done 22 with other lines) and we LOVED IT !We were in a balcony fantastica. Since coming home, I've booked 3 more MSC cruises. 2 on SEA VIEW here in Europe and 1 again for next year , repeating the MERAVILIGIA April 2024,but in YACHT CLUB! So it'll be anew experience, even though on the same ship. We've also booked yacht club on the SEAVIEW for September 2024. That's how much we enjoyed it. We'd seen negative reviews on vlogs on TH-cam, but we know from an MSC official that MSC headquarters sent over their training team to sort out the main problems and we noted it when we we're on board. Everything was fantastic.
The story of Ocean Cay is quite something. Until recently it was an industrial waste dump. What MSC has done to transform the island is truly impressive, especially in light of the sanctuary they’ll provide sea creatures such as sea turtles.
If you liked the Yacht Club you will absolutely love The Haven aboard NCL ships such as Encore (which I was on recently) and the upcoming Prima. NCL’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay, is even more beautiful, in my opinion. You can also see Royal Caribbean’s island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, right next to it with its stunning array of water slides.
I am REALLY loving this cruise series!! 🙂⛴️ One of my fav scenes is from the beach with the ship in the background--just really showed how HUGE it is!!! (And for best viewing, I utilized the 65" screen in my house, of course. 🙂)
Thanks Shirley! More to come for your big TV!
Your videos are well done. Thanks for sharing. I am sailing in just a few weeks, can’t wait!
Thanks and have a great trip!
Sir Peteeeerrrr ! Thanks for the relaxing video ! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you Francoooooo!
It's so SURREAL, sailing into the island. We sat in the bar drinking A coffee starboard side and it gave the visual illusion , as if it's s sliding up onto the land! It's insane
Great way to put it!
Thanks Peter, the food looks amazing and the service exceptional!
It was!
Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Many thanks!
I should add: this ship, I believe, is designed in the classic propulsion style of fixed shaft propellers and rudders. This is in conjunction with the bow and stern thrusters. If the vessel were built with azipods there would be no rudders or stern thrusters. The vessel would be able to exit tight paths, such as Ocean Cay’s buoys, more easily. Most of today’s cruise ships are fitted with azipods because of their flexibility. They allow a ship to spin on its own center of gravity.
Great great video Peter, enjoying your perspective of the cruise! Looking forward to seeing more!👍👍🇺🇸
More to come! Thank you!
I will be sailing on the MSC meraviglia next year. I found your video to be incredibly informative. You talk about some technical stuff that other cruise reviewers don't, and I greatly enjoy it. Thanks for making your content unique. I've subscribed. :)
Thanks so much! Welcome aboard!
I see notification, I click! 😁 Thank you, Peter.
You rock!
I have always been amazed by the gargantuan dimensions of both MSC Seashore and Symphony of the Seas. To gain perspective, I was amazed to find that our largest nuclear carrier, Gerald Ford, CVN78 has a length/beam/height of 333/41/76. MSC Seashore checks in at 6 meters longer 339/41/71. I suspect that with a capacity of 5600 pax it is more luxurious that symphony which packs 9000 into comparable dimensions.
Thanks, Peter. Looks like you're having a great cruise.
Thanks!
Another phenomenal video! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Awesome technical video Peter. Thanks
Thank you!
Love the cruise series. I’m not so sure about the beach they put yacht club members at. Main one looked a lot more inviting.
Omg the yacht club beach was AMAZING. Less crowded and beautiful breeze
Problem is, some of the alternative beaches have heavier stones, prickly plant buds and coral and so are uncomfortable on bare foot, so take amphibian shoes.
There's nothing like having a mojito at the beach! I'm leaving South FL tomorrow back home to chilly ROC 😪. Thank you for this wonderful video sharing your travels.
Have a great trip!
Very nice video
Very well narrated
Have fun
Enjoy your vacation.
Cheers from the big apple..
Thanks so much!
Looks Like a fantastic ship also a great port of call well done Peter 👍🏻
It sure is! Thanks so much!
Real awesome Peter, another superb job!
Thanks!!
I saw this video and immediately booked a Yacht Club room on the Seashore for 2024!!! Thank you!!! Is the restaurant on the island included for Yacht Club passengers? The menu looked amazing👍
Yep. You're served and waited on in the YC islands restaurant.
Enjoying your journey!
Thanks!
If my choices are an oceanview (not beachfront) cabana in the Yacht Club area or a cabana in the main area where the beach isn't as rocky, which would you recommend?
It really depends on the weather/wave conditions for the day. The yacht club area could have calm water that day.
Great video! Was wondering if you would share the number of your stateroom.
Nice detailed review. Sailing on MSC World America First time Yacht Club member in May 2025. Any info on the new ship 🛳️ besides what’s available on social media. Thanks again for the review. Happy sailing…
Thank you! I'm not familiar with that ship.
Did the point out the Baby Sharks named Salt and Pepper to ya? They were in the bay that was closed when we were there a month ago
No! I was not aware of that.
Just booked for September! Thanks for the videos. See alot of hate towards msc but I gotta see with my own eyes... How bad can it possibly be? Better than being at work🤣
It’s awesome!
The ship looks like it is barely half capacity. I've seen documentaries on cruise ships operations. It's like one big choreographed dance. Any chance of an engine plant tour?
They won’t allow that!
Why you keep mentioning Yacht Club? We get you're in the Yacht Club. But most people won't be in that club so what is your point in constantly mentioning it. And why would you go on a cruise if you don't want to be around people. Your channel is very informative but you're really leaving a bad taste in my mouth constantly mentioning the Yacht Club. So is this a video about the cruise or is this a video about the Yacht Club?
"I'm in the Yacht Club where I don't have to be near the commoners!"
It's obviously about the Yacht Club.
12:18 you have that beach to yourself because youre not allowed near the water
I didn’t find the yacht club beach desirable at all
Private beach on a private island, not for me but each to their own.
We’re you in the yacht club… you should’ve mentioned it 😂😂😂
more info and less FaceTime...its annoying, just intro yourself in the beginning and say goodbye at the end...kill the full face interludes during the meat of the video and focus on the topic of the discussion point
Constructive comment.....if you are going to do close-up vids - please fix that tooth!
