Sounds as if MSC, is not the cruise line for the OP and many of those that replied.

Huge problem, avoid Yacht Club...plus they take all the butter 😔

No, this site/forum is an echo chamber of a few! 2021 MSC had 723,000 passengers 2019 MSC had 2,700,00 passengers https://www.statista.com/statistics/1096918/msc-cruises-passengers-numbers/ FYI, Yacht Club is packed with "non-YC" people...avoid this cruise line! Cheers and enjoy your cruise on another line.

Jagr is spot on... that's how it works! If beach time is of interest...Uber or Lyft to beach and rent chairs and umbrellas if wanted. Resort for day and resort pass are both good options too Shopping is also very popular in Miami, largest mall is Brickell Center. Cheers and enjoy your cruise!

Different perspective, SEASCAPE May in YC deck 19 and none of the issues described above (not referring to outlets or night lights). Hope they enjoy another cruise line and the fabulous YC folks don't have to hear their complaints. Cheers and goodbye!

Hi PGH- 2 wheels summed it up well... MSC doesn't "compare" well to the other lines... If you are open to try something different it might work out. FYI- never was an issue with butter on MSC...just the complainers didn't have the ability to read dutch, german, nor French...it wasn't labeled Merican 🤣 i.e. country crock

Never had/heard of dinner on pool Deck grill...snacks/drinks/deserts depending on weather Breakfast and lunch on pool Deck are our favs

Also do you have ability to status match with hotel/airline? Some credit cards give you automatic hotel status and MSC does match. March sailing gives you time.

What level does it show when you look at your booking online? That is what level you will most likely receive at check-in.

On Seascape twice and several of us used the 50% off our 1st F1 "ride"...no other purchase was required nor asked about....none in our groups had fun pass....just diamond status.

Hi MAGS- The port has shuttle bus to get you from Pier/terminal to parking lot. It is a bit of a roundabout journey. Uber works and there are taxi as well at this lot. We used Uber, super easy...but depending on when you're disembarking there might be a rush of people. Awesome food and gelato in town, Enjoy!

Battery power doesn't require outlets, never saw plug in "tea lights".

Actually outlets in cabin are energized/ live when your cruise card is in the slot, has nothing to do with which, if any, lights are turned on.

Note for all, the 50% off is the 1st experience..ie a $6.00usd savings

Drove my Bentley to the grocery and Grey Poupon went up a nickel!!! A whole nickel, I tell you! Newsflash, stuff went up in price: gasoline, groceries, utilities, everything including cruising. If you can't afford or do not like the price, just do not book. Funny what some find to complain about. Pour another drink if you can afford it and Cheers to any cruise!
