hunter68 Posted June 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Is there really a difference between the regular cabana and YC cabana except price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well YC Cabanas have a butler assigned not just a bar attendant making rounds. Though they don't wear their tails on the island 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Yacht Club passengers can reserve YC Cabanas. These are located at YC beach and Ocean House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a post on here from someone who was not YC but the website let them book a YC cabana. It was cancelled before their cruise. I'm assuming because they were not YC. Just an FYI that just because the website will let you book it doesn't mean you'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that post, not sure why a non YC guest would think he/she could book a YC cabana. But I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I digress. I went in May with my sister, niece, mother and two friends. My sister had planned to book a cabana but waited until it was too late. I looked and saw the YC ones were available. I almost went for it before I realized they were YC. I also considered booking just to see if it would work but I wouldn't have been mad if it was cancelled either.

hunter68 Posted June 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I am in the YC but don't see the benefit of booking the YC cabana. I may go for the regular cabana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go for the regular cabana I've had an OC Yacht Club cabana 3 out of 4 times. The one time that I didn't get one was because they sold out weeks before sail date (lesson learned). We're a family of 4 so my situation is a bit different. The extra space is great for lounging, sleeping, eating, etc. The butler service has been great with food and drink delivery. Even the surprises like the fruit skewers and prosecco in the cooler are a nice touch. Yeah, it is a bit of a money grab by MSC and those cabanas have probably paid for themselves 100x over but I'll continue to book one. I know which number to request and we always get the same one.

Perhaps it is an indication of another large group booking. Did anyone try to book a Specialty Restaurant and found they are closed out of these venues as well?

Perhaps. But does one have to pay in full in advance, then find out later they booked the wrong experience (YC) and then have to wait months for a refund?
