Missymssy Posted March 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Looking to book a future cruise. We usually choose a balcony (fantastica), but thinking of trying Yacht club this time, but it would have to be an inside. Trying to decide if it's worth the added cost.

IsanTom Posted March 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The beach at YC is very rocky, but they do have good bar service and a small restaurant. We changed beaches on the way back to the ship and were much happier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jame_g Posted March 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The YC restaurant (Ocean House) was nice for lunch. No standing in line at the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GPPhilly Posted March 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The YC beach is nice but rocky in the water. Bring water shoes or head over the hill to Bimini Beach to swim. There are a lot of chairs and many umbrellas. The Ocean house is good for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is a separate restaurant for YC on the island? I wasn't aware of that! Are drinks also included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to decide if you want 1 or 3 cruises maybe 1 or 2 with an inside for the costs involved. The perks and benefits are based on your likes wants need and desires but mostly your wallet. Use a TA!!!! Never call them, always use the TA for this line otherwise you could be overcharged, cancelled, even after booking yacht club they could bump you out into a regular cabin for no reduction in fare which means you would have been better not booking YC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Cruiser 73 Posted March 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We sailed in the YC on the Seascape a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful day on Ocean Cay in warm and sunny weather. The YC facilities on the island are great and the Ocean House serve a lunch. Don't miss the lobster roll, so delicious. We stayed on the beach and there is a barservice. All included. A terrific day, would love to do it again. Here are some photos of the area including the lunch that I had in the Ocean House 💯👌 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Cruiser 73 Posted April 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 4, 2023 It's hard to beat this morning view over Ocean Cay from our YC1 cabin on the MSC Seascape 👍 20230306_072739.mp4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted April 4, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) On my past 3 trips to Ocean Cay, Yacht Club guests were not charged at the Smiling Fish. There were supply issues as they ran out of certain items but non-Yacht Club guests were charged and Yacht Club guests were not. The register read $0.00 for the total for the 4 of us.

Twenty years back, in our early Carnival cruising years, I was actually known to bring toppings in order to turn their soft serve into something tasty. My packing list has certainly morphed over the years! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
