Bella experience stresses me out LOL, because I like to be in a balcony and above. I did try Bella once on the meraviglia for a med cruise, they did bump me up to a balcony.
@@jcspotter7322 First the value!! Price is much less for a better product. The exclusive spaces you get, the inclusions, and frankly the service as well. And this coming from an NCL fan...
My husband and I have 2 yacht club cruises scheduled. The first one is in February for a weekend out of Miami to try it out then one in March 2026 out of Galveston since we live in Houston. I am so excited to have MSC here!!
I did Fantastica on the Seashore last week. I chose an ocean view room, because they were all on deck 5 -- very convenient to the lobby atrium, bar, and main dining room. I don't think any of the ocean view rooms on the Seashore are partial-view.
We have booked Bella, fantastica, and on our last 7 day Norway cruise we booked Aurea package with a balcony. I would say for a longer cruise you should definitely do Aurea for the added benefit of the spa use. We LOVED going everyday! The ship we were on, Virtuosa, was big and packed, so we were happy to have our own dining room separate from the main dining room. We did have a separate outdoor area but it seemed small for the size of the ship and the number of people on the ship. We are booked for the magnifica and I’m looking forward to a smaller ship! We only chose the Bella interior room for the more affordable price for a weekend. Thanks for all your tips! I will look for the Tiger bar for coffee in the morning! I love the cappuccinos on the MSC line.
Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was allegedly a "Yacht Girl" ~ I am wondering if that class was named after her. After all, she "bagged" Prince Harry. Or perhaps, one can find "Yacht Girls" at that level of service, for "Special Entertainment" ~!! Ha, ha `
Who else out there is a Bella Experience all the way?!?

Fantastica balcony or yatch club, depending on the time of year.
Yatch club is better than all other large cruise lines like the haven etc.
The butlers are not dedicated, we have had yatch club a few times.
@@scottnewton3048 that's getting lucky! Def see the anxiety kicking up for some folks! Glad yours worked out!
Yacht Club is the best ship within a ship in the industry for sure! Experienced it once on a 7-day cruise and it is best vale for your money!
What makes it different from NCLs Haven?
I have heard this time and time again! One day, I will get to experience it!

You are going to love it Keith!! MSC Yacht Club is supposed to be a step above for a reasonable dollar!

Great vlog, thanks for clarifying all of the terms
Thank you! Took me a bit to understand but after you got it, you got it!

Great feedback Mindy!
I will be sailing on MSC for the first time on the World America in Yacht Club. I cannot wait!!!
Please let me know how that goes Jon!
@@TheWeekendCruiser Of course!
We have done both Fantastica (balcony) and Aurea (balcony Suite w/hot tub) on MSC. Our next MSC cruise will be Fantastica inside cabin.
Have a blast!
Can’t wait until MSC comes to Galveston.
And you're getting a Sea Class ship too! Ya'll are going to love her!
I booked the $199 4 day cruise with no stateroom selection and was upgraded to balcony. I booked three rooms. Did not ask for upgrade.
Questions does this happen often? I assume it is because I booked 3 rooms? First time with MSC.
That is amazing!! You won the lottery!
The average fantastica up charge is 20 to 40 dollars per person, per cruise peanuts for peice of mind. You choose your room and your dinning time.
It can be much more! I have paid upwards of $175 to upgrade to Fantastica and still worth it just to pick your cabin imho
Yacht Club
This is where I want to try out next. I have never been able to snag one at a good price yet!
Flights are getting way too complicated to book. Now cruises. Yuk
It's very true! Tons of options and things to think through. I just want to get onboard!
