Celebrity is pricing itself out for us. We first sailed on Zenith in 1992. For 30 years X has been our go to cruise line. With the E class ships, we do not want an infinite balcony so have been sailing in Sky Suites. We have been on a few MSC cruises in the Yacht Club and really like it.
Comparing a 7 night Apex cruise from FLL to a similar cruise on MSC Seashore from Canaveral - An Apex sky suite runs $8600 and a Seashore grand deluxe suite $5300 with Voyagers Club discount. Oh, and both itineraries are not the most attractive.
The Yacht Club has benefits above those of Celebrity including dedicated butler, free minibar use, Espresso machine, free bottle of booze, buffet breakfast and lunch on pool deck. There are only about 120 suites totally within the yacht club requiring key access.
Sadly it appears our cruising with X days appear to be over unless we find a concierge cabin on a good itinerary on a S class ship.
