2 nighter in YC - a few questions

[HolsAddict]

We are on a 2 night taster cruise on Virtuosa next week, our 1st cruise with MSC.

We're in Yacht Club and our check in time says it opens at 12.00. Am I right that we can check in earlier that this as in YC?

Can we also assume there isn't any sort of gala night on such a short cruise?

TIA

Your get priority embarkation, not early embarkation. If check-in hasn't opened, you can't board.  Ship arrival and disembarkation needs to occur first.

I didn’t know they had 2 day cruises! Our check in time said 3pm we were on board by 10:30. It does depend on how soon they get clearance and get the people leaving off.

I would say you will 'probably' be able to get on at some point after 10.30am, paperwork does say you may not be able to board if you don't turn up at your allotted time but I have never personally heard this ever happen to anyone.

It's from Southampton to Le Havre in France and back.

The ships rarely stay in port overnight, like planes they are only earning when they are moving. Even a one day, no port cruise can occur in some jurisidications.

They stagger check in times to try to keep everything flowing. You can, however, board at your leisure in YC.

YC guests do not need to pay attention to check-in time on Boarding Pass, as @Morgsmom said you “board at your leisure.”

Thanks everyone! We'll be boarding much earlier than our allocated time then.
