WOW! What a blast from the past! I worked with Gary in Miami in 2008. He was a principle in a production of 1776 and I was the sub keyboard 2 player for a few performances. It was my first professional job when I was 18 and Gary was so kind backstage. He treated me so well and like any of the other seasoned professional involved. Great to see Gary's face after so many years!
@ my husband and I just finished a four month cruise on Princess and now we are excited to maybe do the MSC cruise from New York. We’ve also been on Celebrity and done the suites but this one looks like it’s over the top.
@@michelle7710 4 MONTHS! Gary and I are drooling! We've heard Celebrity "Retreat" is the best suite experience...HOWEVER...The Yacht Club is no doubt the absolute best suite experience for the cost! They treated us like Royalty and so so so much was included!
I love your videos. I especially like the MSC Meraviglia Yacht Club Cruise: Embarkation, Deluxe Suite Balcony Cabin Tour & Dining! I am a big fan of luxury cruises, and I think the MSC Meraviglia is one of the most beautiful ships I've seen. The embarkation process was seamless, and the crew was very friendly and helpful. I especially loved the deluxe suite on the Meraviglia. The cabin was spacious and comfortable, with a large balcony and a separate sitting area. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was luxurious. The dining experience was outstanding. I especially enjoyed the food and the wine pairings. Overall, I had a wonderful experience on the MSC Meraviglia. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who loves luxury travel. New Sub!👍👍
@@laurieGaryCruise Exactly just got off the Norwegian Joy Haven last Sunday. Had a blast but they sure do nickel and dime you. Probably my last Haven cruise.
@@USKeyService so unfortunate because we love Norwegian ships but they really try and give you the LEAST AMOUNT they can give for the MOST AMOUNT of MONEY.
I couldn't wait to hear about your cruise. Your lounge view was pretty. I love seeing other people having fun. I've heard cruises never have enough closet space, but I've never been. Love those storage end tables. The chocolate looked so yummy. That other ship was too close for my comfort. The fog was creepy due to how close that other ship was. I think the theater looks amazing. I think it would be too crowded for my family, but it seems lovely. Though I think I want a projector for light shows on my ceiling Lol and good chocolate.
@@Podgey25 Aw man Im not sure of names. Arthur sounds familiar but not sure. We didn’t know there was a Yacht Club Forum! We need to be a part of this!!!!
Thank you for the video! I just booked a cruise with MSC for my wife’s 40th bday in October and this will be our first cruise ever. I noticed MSC sometimes will send a email so, you can bid on an upgrade and if I do receive a upgrade email I’ve been debating on putting in a bid!
If you can afford it, do it. We put in the lowest bid and won. It was worth every penny. If not, it’s still a beautiful cruise ship with loads to do! You will have a wonderful time!
@@tinaanderson5454 you don’t need to book showtimes. The butler will just take you there. As for specialty restaurants….we were told to go to the concierge. I think the Yacht Club experience can be slightly different on each ship. There were a few other things we saw or heard about in Yacht Club videos on some other MSC ships that played out differently for us. Overall…..it was still great service!
Yes the glass shower is always a crowd pleaser! Getting ready to sail Island Princess tomorrow. She’s super old so we are mentally preparing for all the plastic!!!!
Quick question...Are you able to take drinks/food out of the Yacht club bar/snack area or yacht club outside buffet into your room to eat (like to eat or have a drink on your balcony)?
No coffee? How un-American! No, Laurie, don’t get over it. It's just not right. You were there first, and you should have been placed at the head of the line. You deserve a reward for your punctuality. Yacht Club members should have some preferences since the costs are so much higher. Love the drink. I am so happy y’all won the bid. Two people couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about a cruise. Gary is like a kid in a candy store. With his 15-foot extension cord, Gary is a man after my heart. My God, that balcony is big enough to dance on. I did not see Escargot on that first menu. I hope that changes with other menus. I love me some Escargot. Octopus is fine, but raw fish is called bait in Texas. Ice cream? There is only one brand of ice cream in Texas, and that is Blue Bell. Did I see a bit of hand jive going on? The fog reminds me of John Carpenter’s movie by that name, The Fog. Children … arrrrrrgh! Larry from Texas
We didn’t say we didn’t want to do the emergency drill. It’s just easier when you have more time on board to do it on the 1st day. Everyone trying to do it at the same exact time was crazy town.

@@davidestevez2612 what a small world!!!! So glad you found Gary and “US.” Gary says thanks you and sends all the regards!
My husband and I are thinking on going MSC cruise and you guys are wonderful. I think we’re gonna do it.
Thank you so much! We definitely had a fantastic time!
Is it really that wonderful?
@ my husband and I just finished a four month cruise on Princess and now we are excited to maybe do the MSC cruise from New York. We’ve also been on Celebrity and done the suites but this one looks like it’s over the top.
Also, you and your husband do a great job

your videos are the best. i look forward to them! educational and funny!
We so much appreciate you watching!!!!
LOVE being escorted to and from the theatre, and various other places. Just one of the many perks of being in the Yacht Club.
Yessssss!

Thank you so much for subscribing! Glad you loved your Yacht Club Cruise as much as we did.💖
Your laugh is so funmy 😂
@@Jennifer-o4e Gary’s or Laurie’s?😂
@@laurieGaryCruise gary
@@Jennifer-o4e agreed!💖
Love Love Love the MSC Yacht Club.
@@USKeyService right!!!! It’s amazing! Just as good if not better than NORWEGIAN’s HAVEN yet literally half the cost!!!
@@laurieGaryCruise Exactly just got off the Norwegian Joy Haven last Sunday. Had a blast but they sure do nickel and dime you. Probably my last Haven cruise.

@@laurieGaryCruise great vid just making fun 👍
Awesome Video!
Thank you so much!
By far my favourite cruising couple!
Thank youuuuuuuuuu!
Was Irish, Arthur and Summit on when you was there? ❤ those guys!.
Im a member of the Yacht Club forum on Fbk❤

@@laurieGaryCruise ya if I get the chance I’m a do it! You only live once might as well enjoy it!
You can also ask your butler to book you times for specialty restaurant and shows.

Very nice room! Beautiful solarium.
Have you two ever done Cunard Queen Mary 2 out of Brooklyn? Plans to do it?
We do want to do the Queen Mary at some point. Looks like a gorgeous ship.
You had me at glass door shower.
Our "other" cruiseline has the plastic shower curtain and it gives me the yucks!!!
Yes the glass shower is always a crowd pleaser! Getting ready to sail Island Princess tomorrow. She’s super old so we are mentally preparing for all the plastic!!!!
I don’t remember a hassle at muster in yacht club on meriviglia in August. Did you wait for the butler?
@@vincentclausen2250 butlers were not part of the drill. This is something we’ve seen on other MSC CRUISE videos so I think it’s an ongoing issue.
If you ever have a long spell between cruises... I'd love to see Laura and Gary's tips for visiting New York.
Oh ok!!!! Thats doable!!!!
Wow how many times they emphasized yacht club😮
@@Dm-wf5ro you know it.
Quick question...Are you able to take drinks/food out of the Yacht club bar/snack area or yacht club outside buffet into your room to eat (like to eat or have a drink on your balcony)?
@@AmeliaKlatt yes.
Hi, what was your cabin number..? Have you liked it, was it quiet? (noise of bar, people passing...?)
@@krisztinak9408 we were cabin number 15013. The room was pretty quiet as far as I remember. No major sound issues.
Gary is very funny
@@Jennifer-o4e i (Laurie) agree!😂💖
I think you need a couple more songs to add to your videos
Buffet song? Closet size song?
I know, the bridge song is getting stale/
No coffee? How un-American!
No, Laurie, don’t get over it. It's just not right. You were there first, and you should have been placed at the head of the line. You deserve a reward for your punctuality.
Yacht Club members should have some preferences since the costs are so much higher.
Love the drink.
I am so happy y’all won the bid. Two people couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about a cruise. Gary is like a kid in a candy store.
With his 15-foot extension cord, Gary is a man after my heart.
My God, that balcony is big enough to dance on.
I did not see Escargot on that first menu. I hope that changes with other menus. I love me some Escargot. Octopus is fine, but raw fish is called bait in Texas.
Ice cream? There is only one brand of ice cream in Texas, and that is Blue Bell.
Did I see a bit of hand jive going on?
The fog reminds me of John Carpenter’s movie by that name, The Fog.
Children … arrrrrrgh!
Larry from Texas
Larry you don’t miss a beat! I promise you Escargot (or SNAILS as MSC refers to them) are coming soon!!!! Thank you for watching!!!!
OK these idiots that don't wanna do the Emergency Drills are the ones that scupper your rescue boat!!
We didn’t say we didn’t want to do the emergency drill. It’s just easier when you have more time on board to do it on the 1st day. Everyone trying to do it at the same exact time was crazy town.
