Yacht Club Cabanas and Loungers (Seaside)

[jules815]

Other than the space, does anything else come with your cabana? 

 

Also, how difficult is it to get a lounge chair in the regular seating area around the pool?  (It doesn't have to be a prime, right-next-to-the-pool spot, just 2 loungers somewhere on the pool deck.)  Do they monitor to discourage chair hogs?

Snacks will vary. I don't remember everything. There are so many options that are already at the grill (for all Yacht Club guests), I can't remember which were specifically because of the cabana. If there is anything that you want, there are plenty of staff/butlers around who will get whatever you ask (within reason, obviously). I don't remember seeing any robes because I already had my own from the stateroom.

 

There are plenty of loungers all over the sundeck. No chair hogging at all.

To confirm that point, there are plenty loungers and we did not see any more than 25% capacity taken in the sundeck area at any time....even on sea days!

This is great news.  Thank you.

No problem at all getting loungers around the YC pool area at any time.

On our trip 2 weeks  ago  in YC--no issues at all get a lounge chair--the cabanas were empty--no need to pay for  them

Another YC pool question.  Is the YC pool side buffet open for lunch on port days?  We're sailing with MSC for the first time in January and plan on spending a lot of time on board relaxing.

Yes.  As well as afternoon pizza burgers at 4pm

I thought the cabanas are reserved?  Can you use them without paying???

They are only to be used by those who either pay for them or have them included (with a Royal Suite).

Just off Seaview today, we used the cabanas on 2 afternoons after we returned to the ship, never had to pay, the next afternoon one of the pool guys asked if we wanted one again, said no as we wanted a bit of sun.

 

Some  were reserved on the sea day, presumably paid for? but that was the only time we saw any reserved.

We had the same on MSC Seaview in September. Pool attendent asked if we wanted a cabana and prepared one. We didn’t had to pay for the cabana but tipped the pool attendent. It was in the afternoon, we used the cabana on two days from 2:00 to 5:30pm (no sea days). Cabanas for Royal Suites were reserved.
