We are sailing on the Seaside in 33 days. We are in a yacht club suite. I have a couple of questions for those of you with that experience.

 

How was the internet that is included with the suite ?

 

What spa amenities were included and what treatment would you recommend ? (both male and female)

 

What would you say was a can't miss thing to do ?

 

What would be your it's not worth the time to do ?

 

What was your experience with the butler/yacht club staff ?

 

Any tips or hacks you would recommend ?

 

Did you use the cabanas at the yacht club pool how do they work ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help. Cruise Critic has always been a great place to get the scoop on these kinds of questions. This site has saved me a bunch of time and money over the years . Rock on C.C.

Staff was great. On par or superior to NCL Haven staff. They do things differently so it is difficult to directly compare but service at the pool is much better on Seaside vs. NCL Haven (both are good but MSC is better).

 

 

 

Cabanas are surprisingly useful but whether they are worth the cost is up to you (ours was included at no extra charge). We did see some people who paid for theirs but there were also some empty cabanas.

There is no internet included for any experience on MSC unless it was a perk at booking cruise.

 

The only spa amenity included is the use of spa area. I did enjoy this experience as it was the best spa at sea I have seen and done. Get a drink and enjoy the thallasotherapy pool and salt room.

 

So many things to do. I would say donot miss some quiet time in topsail with a book and some great service from butler that will bring you drinks and such. My wife really enjoyed tea time at 4pm. They had special teas from a cart to choose from that were different from the teas they offer at all times.

 

Walk around the ship especially in the early mornings to feel and see how tranquil the ship is. Go out and explore a little of the ship and then experience the tranquility of yc when you get back from walking around the busy ship.

Internet not included, treatments not included, YC staff are fabulous, cabanas are not included unless you are in the royal suite. YC area is your oasis.

The internet reception was pretty good when a friend of mine went last month. She used the app Periscope to show us places around the ship live. Really good video. We will be there in December.

 

On MSC Divina there was a dedicated elevator in the YC to spa. On Seaside the spa appears beautiful with hot and cold rooms.

 

If you like anything, tell your butler. He or She will fill your fridge with whateveryouwant! We received extra treats at night because we asked. We received different pillows because we asked. I wanted southern grits at BFast each morning and every morning they were there on the pool deck where we ate.

Please enjoy the solitude of the YC. There were so many open chairs on Sea days around the pool area that we were never closer than 5 chairs from anyone. The music in the YC lounge at nights is also something not to miss.

 

Unless you need real privacy, stay clear of cabanas. $149 sea day/$99 port day. there is plenty of room out there on the deck.

 

Your YC card can be beneficial. Drinks over entire ship are free and the bartenders are extra nice to you. The gelato is free to YC. The YC card also works in the front elevators quite uniquely. If you get on that front elevator and swipe your card to go to deck 18, which you must do to be able to select that floor from that elevator, it will bypass all other pushed buttons with the other people in the elevator. People will be a little upset that you bypassed their floor with your card.

 

Must Do: Let your butler know when you want to leave ship at port. He will escort you to the front of line. You paid big money to allow them to assist you.

 

The service is awesome. It starts at the curb at the White Tent where YC guests arrive, ushered past all lines, given special treatment and guided to YC lounge.

 

Please enjoy the ride. It is not a ship that tries to be "American". It is full of new experiences and the crew do a great job at helping you. Do the meet and mingle also. Order what you want.

 

Lastly, i am not sure about Seaside, but Divina had a dedicated area for YC in main theatre. Just ask.
