Can anyone describe the Yacht Club experience check in at the Brooklyn NY cruise terminal, thanks.

Find the tent to drop your bags and get MSC sticker. If you follow the center island down to the end the tent will be there.

Walk over to the terminal by the portable bathrooms you will find sign with a port person checking you off a list. We waited for an escort to come back from the previous trip to take us through security directly to check in outside the YC waiting room.

Port personnel check you in on their tablets and check your documents, given a keycard and wristband. This has been all Port Personnel up to this point, you then enter the YC waiting room with butlers, and refreshments are available.

You are then escorted onto the ship by a butler, around the people waiting in line (you may hear some comments about how special this group is but not as nicely worded). You will be scanned onboard, then escorted down a room corridor to the forward elevators and up to the lounge deck 19. 

 

At Noon the restaurant will open for lunch or you can go to the pool deck for the buffet which really is more than a buffet, just ask they will cook something if they can. 

 

When rooms are ready or if the cabin is ready when you board they will introduce you to your personal butler and take you to your cabin. You may or may not meet your junior butler (room steward) ours had cabins on deck 19 port and some on deck 14 port. 

 

Pretty simple, security did shut down the scanners, and we were in our own line of YC behind ropes waiting for them to reopen. It was crowd control, they were too backed up processing check-in for non-YC. We waited about 10 minutes and then they let YC group through the scanners.

Thanks for the info. I was on this ship when she was first in NY at the Manhattan terminal. It was chaos with no YC anything. We're going again in Brooklyn, I feel better about it, thanks
