We will be taking our first MSC YC in October. In the planning stages now and wondering about embarkation, and more importantly disembarking.

 

I believe I have read that YC gets priority embarking; do we also have priority disembarking? Anything anyone would care to share about their experience would be appreciated.

Which ship and which port of embarkation? It is different in US vs Europe.

In US, you will look for the white YC tent just outside of the main entrance to the terminal. Leave your luggage with the YC porters and NOT the regular porters. You will be escorted inside, through security, then to YC lounge for check in process. From there you will be taken to the gangway to meet a butler that will take you to the YC. For disembarking in ports of call, just let the butler know when you wish to leave the ship. At your final disembarking, you will be escorted to the gang way for leaving and will be taken to the front of the line to get off. Hope this is the info you are looking for.

We were also greeted by butlers when returning to the ship after a day in port. (Just look for the butler holding a paddle with the YC emblem). This perk was best when we were in Grand Cayman. Our butler escorted us around the long line for the tenders and put us on the next tender leaving the dock. When we returned to Miami, however, they were only walking passengers to the gangway. The butlers were not leaving the ship.

You will go ahead of everyone else and to get off just tell a butler when you want to leave as you sit in the lounge.

We didn't even need to ask. Our Butler spoke with us the evening before and again in the lounge that morning on the assistance he would be providing.
