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.

Once again, you’ve outdone yourself filming and editing this video! I love your reporting style! MSC will be happy they invited you onboard to the MSC Yacht Club!
It’s no coincidence that every major cruise TH-camr has been on MSC yacht club in the very recent past. MSC is trying to gain influence in the cruise market. I’m cool with that because I think there are new cruise ship. The MSC world America is beautiful.
@@OmahaTonyG I definitely would take a free top notch cruise! I do feel that the cruise lines "bribe" or influence some of the TH-camrs videos though. Why? Because do you think they would ever invite them back in for free if they had a negative perspective? I doubt it. Therefore, it is in the person receiving the free cruise best interest to put out a glowing review.
J! Congratulations to you and Lauren. So happy for you guys. Looks like you had an amazing time. I never sailed with MSC. Must try. Thank you for all your videos. Love watching them.
Glad you gave MSC another shot. I've been eyeing Yacht Club ever since I started considering cruising. It seems to be the best value to not only avoid cruising's biggest headaches, but to have a genuinely stress free experience.
Prior to trying MSC Yacht Club a few years ago the only cruise line our family had experienced was Disney, once we tried YC we never went back, now after 7 YC cruises we love it more than ever, biggest difference we’ve found in MSC in that time is that the non-YC parts of the ship have improved massively everything from entertainment to the buffet has been improved over that time span. We love MSC and YC and look forward to our upcoming sailings in the future.
I just came off the MSC seashore from Nov 7-10th....appears the yatch club is the real MVP.....I will wait until they come to Galveston next year before I do another MSC cruise though
The best part of your video was when you were giddy with excitement because of the luxury you were experiencing in the yacht club... in couple of weeks we will be on our 3rd YC cruise with MSC... the service is impeccable with everyone genuinely friendly... the lobster rolls on the private island are as good as you would ever get in Maine!!!
We did the Yacht Club Royal Suite for a Mediterranean cruise this spring and it was amazing, by far our best cruise experience so far! I use a wheelchair since I'm an amputee and the room was actually for the most part easy to get around in. The only thing I didn't like about it was calling the attendant a butler lol but other than that it was amazing and having the special access areas to relax in and get away from the madness was perfect!
I loved this video. In fact, I think it is my favorite Ship Life Video. I have been a subscriber for almost 2 years . Love almost all of your videos but seeing how the other half live was fantastic. Thank you J.
MSC is on our list to try. Had a family member tell us it is a good cruise line. Although we have heard otherwise. I guess people don't like it cause it's new to north America. BUT WE ARE ALL IN!!! LETS SAIL BABY!!
Damn you! (Shakes fist in air) we are about to book this ship after we spend 10 exhausting days at Disney. Looks like Grandma & Grandpa deserve to book themselves an upgrade to the Yacht Club. 😊
Another gr8 video! Thanks. Side note, I highly recommend the Hollyland Lark M2 button mic. I've used it to interview members of Congress, it's dirt cheap, and has a magnet that attaches to clothes or its lanyard so you won't have to hold your DJI. No I don't work for them. 😆
That looked fun. I had no desire to try MSC but now I may have to. And where’s the wedding ring? Congratulations on your marriage. All the best to you both.
MSC invited? Get it J. Need to see Laurene. Miss your beautiful wife. 4 decks of yacht club? Cool 😎. Why did you book, doesn’t the butler book your shows & dinner? Included mini bar 👏🏼🙌🏼. Included massage? Omg. The actual tea 🫖 leaves. Love afternoon tea. Breakdancing in white? Looks like the enjoyed you 🕺🙌🏼🔥. Snorkeling 🤿 off your private boat. You lucked out with that. Wonderful experience J. Thanks for sharing 🤗
I think we were on the same sailing. We had a very mixed experience. We were on for 3 days and then 7. We won a royal flush in the casino which was great but the food was not that great and I've never used the bathroom so much in my life. It was a beautiful ship but for me the customer service was lacking compared to my previous experiences with other cruise lines. We will probably sail again with msc but we will only do a 5-7 day cruise. The last week of our cruise was a nice experience while the first 3 days were a total nightmare. MSC definitely needs work in customer service, food quality, and keeping their employees all on the same page.
That sounds like some good honest feedback. I do keep hearing things similar to what you experienced. It is really cheap for a reason because they have to cut corners somehow. I saw a video stating that the employee ratio to you passenger ratio is very low which saves them lots of money because labor is their number one cost on a cruise ship
Great video! I watched a few videos of the MSC Yacht Club experience but this one has convinced me that it is worth the cost. The four exclusive decks and included spa access are the best features.
Congrats on your marriage!! I cruised MSC Seascape late August in balcony room with Easy Drink Pkg. Great value compared to other American lines. I would cruise MSC again and would upgrade/bid for Yacht Club if price was ok. Seascape was beautiful..great cruise for kids...NO shade in outside areas other than kids play areas. Staff and service A+++. Food ok but HATED being stuck in early dining. Really impacts overall experience. Ocean Cay was beautiful..best private cruise island for beach day. Gym is good and Sports bar my fav venue for watching US Open. Oh best entertainment on-board was the comedian.
Thank you for taking us along with you on your cruise and showing us the yacht club. Thank you very much. It was very entertaining and informative. Thank you.❤🛳️🦩🛟⚓️
We were on the same cruise as you and we enjoyed seeing you dance !! This was by far was our favorite Yacht Club experience… Glad you enjoyed it as well🚢
WOW, CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!! I was just wondering about the price of something like this because I am hoping and praying to get my hip surgery in the next few months and I BELIEVE THAT I MORE THAN DESERVE a little royal treatment for my 1st cruise since before COVID!! lolol
Great video - I enjoyed seeing you trying Yacht Club. How did you find this compares to the ‘regular guest’ experience? It feels like such a huge divide onboard!
😂 I saw the Twix bar in your mini bar. Looks like leftover Halloween candy. When we sailed Yacht Club in March, we got a large Toblerone bar that we could share between the three of us. Sailing Yacht Club again soon. Hope they upgrade the candy. 😂😂
My dad did this cruise and had a Butler on his cruise, attend to him and had a personal cake with a message written on it brought to his room. He really enjoyed it.
Looks great! Glad you enjoyed yourself! I'm still on the fence though as I have had a less than stellar experience with MSC.🤔 Congrats on your nuptials 🎉
J I’ve never sailed MSC before. This review made me want to. Thanks again. I sailed twice this year. Both on Royal. I’m sailing twice in 25’ on Carnival. I may have to sneak in an MSC boat ride.
I was on the same sailing as you and didn't even know it I didn't see you not one single time you probably never left the yacht club did you? LOL... MSC definitely has beautiful ships. I was pretty loyal to Royal but now MSC is top of my list on top of the line
Was there in August for our second sailing with msc and I noticed this trip there were an abundance of flies...they even made their way to the ship. We were hanging outside the loft(seascape) the Brooklyn Cafe on seashore and there was tons of flies chillen on the windows until we left the island. I wondered why there were so many..kind of gross but I still love msc. That was just an observation
I don’t know having someone else wash your underwear is kind of nice. I lived in Honduras for two years and I paid like $20 a month to have all of my laundry done and ironed something freshly pressed undies that is just satisfying.
I don't think they're going to hold them up, like my great aunt did, saying to my uncle, "Ooooh, Jim, look how tiny her undies are." , when I stayed with them during my teens. I can say it's great not having to worry about when and where to do a washing. Hubby and I indulged on the MS Volendam.
OK, so we love your videos. HOWEVER, the best part of this video was when you said, "I said goodbye to my WIFE." CONGRATULATIONS! And, thank you for another awesome video.
Think this is one of your best produced videos has a buffet feel….this actually looks like something I’d go do…almost giving up on cruising due to the tacky overcrowded areas
Very nice J - Yachtclub looks like the place to be at. Beautiful decor and top notch service not bad. Sorry Lauren couldn't be on this cruise with you. Maybe next time.
I saw you on that October hurricane Milton cruise, you were ducking by fast. Nice room! They upgraded me to balcony from inside cabin on both my back-to-back cabins
I did the 4 night YC on Seashore out of Port Canaveral, it was my best experience on a cruise and cheaper than Royal Caribbean Utopia 4 night regular balcony room
Yacht club is awesome! they have interior rooms that make the cost = to a regular balcony room on other lines... As far as MSC without Yacht club??? NO WAY! Gen pop on MSC looks crazy crowded
I also enjoyed that the butler took my son to camp and picked him up when he was done. I enjoyed the unlimited spa. Since I did not drink, they made us special. chocolate drink for us. 😊 I did not like the private beach for the yacht club. It's was very rocky at the bottom, and it hurt our feet.

@ I told everyone back in May and on multiple occasions since😅
@@JSHIPLIFE oh wow
Well congratulations to both of you ☺️
Don't know how I missed it
Love N Blessings forever and ever 👩🏼❤️👨🏿💞💞💞🎉🎉🎉
Well, MSC, mission accomplished. I now must give this experience a try for a special occasion. Thanks for sharing, J!
Just tried out the promo code. At least here in Brazil, it got a 0,4% off.
Awe CONGRATULATIONS, DIDN’T KNOW YALL GOT MARRIED, YALL ARE THE CUTEST1
That cruise looked so laid back and peaceful..very nice decor on that ship.
It is ❤❤❤
Congratulations to you and Lauren
I missed the wedding 💒💒💒
I heard “wife” too like wait what?

I’m cool with that because I think there are new cruise ship. The MSC world America is beautiful.
Yup, they get it all for free.
Not really a fan of the influencers that post their free cruises. How can they really be honest about their experience?
@@B-ch6ukI agree!
It’s a turn off to me…
I was just about to say and why wouldn't they
@@OmahaTonyG I definitely would take a free top notch cruise! I do feel that the cruise lines "bribe" or influence some of the TH-camrs videos though. Why? Because do you think they would ever invite them back in for free if they had a negative perspective? I doubt it.

They finally sent the right TH-camr on a luxury vacation!!!!! Thank you Jay and I look forward to the review video
I seriously think msc will be at the top for the u.s market very very soon. They are headed in the right direction. Let me go book my cruise now
Omg! His wife? Oh I'm so happy he married thst lovely woman. She's a gem!
J! Congratulations to you and Lauren. So happy for you guys. Looks like you had an amazing time. I never sailed with MSC. Must try. Thank you for all your videos. Love watching them.
Glad you gave MSC another shot. I've been eyeing Yacht Club ever since I started considering cruising. It seems to be the best value to not only avoid cruising's biggest headaches, but to have a genuinely stress free experience.
Yes u do
I doubt it was a difficult decision when they give you a free luxury cruise

The more content I see on MSC, The more I’m intrigued to give them a try.. I do like that they match loyalty too (not that I’m a high roller 😊)
They only match it ONCE, not sure if you get to keep that match going forward? Still trying to figure that out.
I'm glad you enjoyed your Yacht Club cruise. We love Yacht Club and I don't think we will ever go back to regular cruising.
WIFE?? i clearly have not been here in awhile 😂😂happy for yall, much congratulations!!
Congratulations on your marriage! May God bless you with many years of happiness.
Can anyone say Green card?
I love MSC, thanks for your POV
😂 i love this, you don’t mingle with the Peasents! lol
But he did, I met him on this cruise leaving the buffet and at the comedy show.
I just came off the MSC seashore from Nov 7-10th....appears the yatch club is the real MVP.....I will wait until they come to Galveston next year before I do another MSC cruise though
I missed you getting married. 🎉 Wow!! Congratulations!
Enjoyed this. Too bad Lauren couldn't sail with you. Looking forward to your review.
It was a pleasure having you on board with us, J. MSC World America might have a cabin with your name on it 😉
It was a great video. Enough to change my mind about cruising MSC. That Yacht Club experience looks amazing.
I loved the Yacht Club!

Three times sailing Yacht Club - and all three times were truly magical. Just LOVE this experience !!
Now this is how I want to cruise

Great video. Ive heard n seen nothing but great reviews about the YC on MSC. Cant wait to try it.
Damn you! (Shakes fist in air) we are about to book this ship after we spend 10 exhausting days at Disney. Looks like Grandma & Grandpa deserve to book themselves an upgrade to the Yacht Club. 😊
I didn’t know you had gotten married. Congratulations and best wishes.💝💝💝💝💝💝
Aw man, that was awesome, the sand, the water, everything looks beautiful ❤
Lucky wife! I'm sure she's joined you on many of the cruises you've been on. Not to mention the souvenirs you've gifted her with.
Another gr8 video! Thanks. Side note, I highly recommend the Hollyland Lark M2 button mic. I've used it to interview members of Congress, it's dirt cheap, and has a magnet that attaches to clothes or its lanyard so you won't have to hold your DJI. No I don't work for them. 😆

❤❤❤ You did that vid! Thank you!Very thorough guide through the Msc yacht club amazing benefits! My experienced clients will love this 💋
That unpack the clothes is crazy work lol I don’t like that 🤣
You just need to tell your butler that you'll unpack your luggage. It's not a problem either way you go.
My thoughts too lol
Congratulations!!!🎉
I appreciate your channel Jay
We were on the same cruise as you and we enjoyed seeing you dance !! This was by far was our favorite Yacht Club experience… Glad you enjoyed it as well🚢
I would have definitely finished that bottle in a day or two 😂😂😂
😮😮😮😮😮😮
It would last me about 6 hours at best. And I’m getting kicked off in 12.
Now after seeing your view of the yacht club. Am going to book it next year for me and Hubby. Keep up the great videos. Love your channel❤
It looks like you had a blast, especially snorkeling!! Great video J!!
Wow… that looked amazing! So much fun, and the size of the room is perfect! The snorkeling was great too - you got to see so many types of sea life.
WOW, CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!! I was just wondering about the price of something like this because I am hoping and praying to get my hip surgery in the next few months and I BELIEVE THAT I MORE THAN DESERVE a little royal treatment for my 1st cruise since before COVID!! lolol
Finally a cruise worth the money, this club experience was worth the upgrade! Great video thanks for sharing!

As always, love your videos.

You only get one free and then you have to pay for the other ones
@Michael-rx6ji that stinks. As Diamond, we previously were able to bring a guest from our cabin who wasn't Diamond for free. 😥
Thank you for sharing my brother 😊
I can see the allure of it all sounds good to me. Sometimes you want to be social other times just relax❤
We did MSC yacht club for the first time this year. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end.
Awww you guys got married?! Congratulations ❤🎉
I was on Seashore last May. That was my first ever MSC cruise and I loved it! Seashore is a beautiful ship!
You've convinced me to go on MSC and go with the yacht club
Beautifully edited..
My dad did this cruise and had a Butler on his cruise, attend to him and had a personal cake with a message written on it brought to his room. He really enjoyed it.
Yes idk you & Lauren had gotten married. Congratulations to the both of you and wishing you many more blessed years ahead of you
Looks great! Glad you enjoyed yourself! I'm still on the fence though as I have had a less than stellar experience with MSC.🤔
Congrats on your nuptials 🎉
I love being spoiled in the Yacht club ❤
Me 2
Thank you for your in depth review. I usually sail with NCL but think il give the Yacht club a try
I loved it!
Omgaaaahhhh!!! Thank God you did this! I was hoping you would because, I’ve been looking into doing yacht club!
You are an absolute delight to watch😊
Been there. I and my wife loved it. You should have took her. It’s made for couples.

Thank you for covering this seeing this, im considering this line. Was on RC suite class 6 wks ago, felt ready to try something new..Thank u!!!
Will be booking the Yacht Club, Thanks Jay. Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾
I don’t want anyone touching my underwear. Especially after I’ve used it over the cruise. Not that I am soiling them, but that is gross.
I don’t know having someone else wash your underwear is kind of nice. I lived in Honduras for two years and I paid like $20 a month to have all of my laundry done and ironed something freshly pressed undies that is just satisfying.
I agree. I understand they are professional but it still makes me uncomfortable.

Nobody is asking you to do it
@@Cruisetravelersall you do is ask them not to pack for you
OK, so we love your videos. HOWEVER, the best part of this video was when you said, "I said goodbye to my WIFE." CONGRATULATIONS! And, thank you for another awesome video.
Congratulations on getting married🎉
Love MSC Yacht Club!
Think this is one of your best produced videos has a buffet feel….this actually looks like something I’d go do…almost giving up on cruising due to the tacky overcrowded areas
By far my favorite vid!
This video with the live action shots is a good look for you and your channel. Keep this up! Much luv
Great info for MSC Cruise Line. I think I'll give it a try.
Very nice J - Yachtclub looks like the place to be at. Beautiful decor and top notch service not bad. Sorry Lauren couldn't be on this cruise with you. Maybe next time.
Hubby and I did yacht club on the MSC seascape and it was wonderful.
Ayyye i might have to cheat on carnival. Rhis looks amazing!
I saw you on that October hurricane Milton cruise, you were ducking by fast. Nice room! They upgraded me to balcony from inside cabin on both my back-to-back cabins
Hi Rooller living. W cruise, Love the content Jay!!
Good job! Good for you!
I did the 4 night YC on Seashore out of Port Canaveral, it was my best experience on a cruise and cheaper than Royal Caribbean Utopia 4 night regular balcony room
Cruising to Cozumel in 13 days! This Yacht Club experience looks amazing! 🤩
Looking forward to my cruise on this ship in a couple weeks!😊
Been a while since I have seen a video. Didn’t know you got married. Congratulations! I hope it was Lauren.
Yacht club is awesome! they have interior rooms that make the cost = to a regular balcony room on other lines... As far as MSC without Yacht club??? NO WAY! Gen pop on MSC looks crazy crowded
Looks lovely!
I also enjoyed that the butler took my son to camp and picked him up when he was done. I enjoyed the unlimited spa. Since I did not drink, they made us special. chocolate drink for us. 😊 I did not like the private beach for the yacht club. It's was very rocky at the bottom, and it hurt our feet.
