Tips for a first time MSC cruiser and YC on Seashore

[GeorgiaMomof4]

Sailing on the Seashore in a little over a week.  Short 4 day cruise going to Ocean Cay and Nassau.

 

This is our first MSC cruise and we did get the email to bid on an upgrade to YC.  Put my bid in for the YC interior and it was accepted quickly and looks like we have actually been put in a balcony cabin on Deck 18.

 

Any tips for a first time yacht club MSC cruiser?  Never dreamed I would ever have a butler of any kind lol!

 

One question for sure - we were given a check in time of 12:00.  Since we have now upgraded to YC, do we still need to wait until 12:00 or could we arrive any earlier?

 

Sailing for my boyfriend's birthday which is actually on the Friday before we sail on Sunday!

 

Thank in advance

You do not need to adhere to the check in time on your info, you simply go to YC tent upon arrival.

If you are driving to the port, the garage probably won’t open until 1000.  Have to let the departing guests out, first.  EM

We sailed on the Seashore July 21 in the YC. Arrived at the terminal at 11:00 am, dropped off luggage at the YC tent, went through security and was at the YC lounge/check-in area by 11:10 am. Escorted to the Top Sail lounge by 11:30 am. We used a parking service shuttle and traffic was slow getting into the port.

Don't be afraid to ask your butler and junior butler for assistance.  He/she will do their best to fulfill any reasonable  request.  Be sure to tip them based on the level of service
