MSC Divina Yacht Club 2/11 - 2/22 Live Review
By DaKahuna , February 7 in MSC Cruises
Recommended Posts
" Thank you for sharing your review with everyone at Cruise Critic. Please consider submitting it to the site for publication as well: Click: Write a Review "
DaKahuna was awarded the badge 'Great Review'
This review will be covering our first ever MSC cruise. As the title indicates we will be sailing on MSC Divina out of Miami on an 11-day adventure.
My wife and I are somewhat experienced cruises but have previously only sailed, with the exception of a single Carnival cruise in 2006, on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity.
We have been disappointed by all of the changes and the pricing on Celebrity recently and after reading @generation-x and other reviews of sailing in the YC aboard MSC we decided to give it a try and see if it was more to our liking. You can see links to reviews of some of our previous cruises in my signature below.
We have been to all of the ports that we will be visiting on this cruise at least once and do not have any scheduled shore excursions. My post will be more about our shipboard experiences than about the various ports and activities. @JamieLogical is also doing a live review of this cruise and between the two of us and with contributions from our fellow cruisers should give a pretty thorough review of life aboard Divina during our time onboard. Jamie's review can be found here:
Thanks for following along.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts about MSC YC and the Divina. Buon viaggio!
Sounds like a great cruise, will be following.

Looking forward to following. We were on Divina YC in January and will enjoy reading updates on the crew.

That's exactly how we ended up in YC on Divina last June, and then booked this cruise while we were onboard.
First few people we met in the YC were also recent converts from Celebrity, so there is something of a trend there...
Been looking forward to this cruise since then, so we'll see you onboard in a few days...

Looking forward to following along, we're on the Divinia in YC about a year out - happy sailings to you
You will love the Divina YC crew! You will quickly meet “Pepe”, the YC Director who is the most hands on manager ever. Also Mehmet is the Maitre D’, equally wonderful. Have a great time!
Thanks everyone. We’re really looking forward to this cruise as we have not been at sea since last May.

Looking forward to meeting you over an adult beverage or two in the Top Sail Lounge.
With The Retreat prices going the way they are, there’s going to be a lot more converts. Personally I think that the YC, on the whole, is a far superior experience - except for food offerings. Luminae beats the YC restaurant with its better menus.

It will be interesting to see what difference there are between the European and US versions of the YC menus.
In Europe at least, we had food that easily matched if not exceeded Luminae, especially the steak.
... but as ever these things can be variable from ship to ship and cruise to cruise...

Interesting. I’ve never rated YC food very highly (and I’ve sailed in YC in several regions).
Cathy in Boston
We are also following as we will be in Yacht Club on Divina in April. We are trying MSC for the same exact reasons.
I'll definitely be following along. MSC YC is on our radar.
We will be on the Celebrity Beyond on 2/19 for an 11 night voyage. So our "LIVE'S" may overlap a few days ..... but I'll keep checking in.

Here’s hoping you have a great cruise.
We’ve only done one E-class cruise, Edge February 2020, so most of my comments and comparisons will be based on our experiences in the Retreat on M & S class ships.
We will be leaving Saturday afternoon on a direct flight from Washington Dulles to Ft. Lauderdale International. As with our previous cruise out of Miami a few years back it was less expensive to fly to FLL, spend the night in a hotel in FLL, and use Lyft/Uber from FLL to the cruise port in Miami than it was for us to fly to Miami, stay in a hotel over night there, and Lyft/Uber to the ship the next morning.
In FLL normally we stay at the Renaissance on 17th street but we are doing things a little different this time and are staying at the FLL Airport Marriott. It works out to be pretty much the same logistically but saves us a few dollars due to the difference in hotel prices.
My DW says that she needs a new pair of shoes so we will be going shopping for those later this morning. As well, I need to make a trip to the bank and pick up some small bills to use for tips. I normally bring a lot of $1.00 and $5.00 bills in case I am unsuccessful in the casino.
Ironing has been done. A lot of clothing items have been set aside for packing, and this afternoon I will start collection and putting my electronics into my backpack. I'll provide a short list of those items once I finalize what I will be taking with me.
Really looking forward to getting away from the 40 and 50 degree weather we are having.
We’ll stay in Fort Lauderdale before our Seascape cruise (hate Miami!). We’re staying in the Las Olas area. Never been before so have no idea where it is in relation to anything. Still, I’ll be interested in reading about your Lyft/Uber arrangement to POM as that’s what we’re hoping to do, too.

Will update it but it looks to be about $85.00 right now for Lyft XL. I am torn between scheduling it now and waiting until we are ready to leave Sunday morning to arrange the ride.
Just checked to make sure what terminal we will be using.. In case anyone else is interested, MSC Divina will be using Terminal C.
welcome to MSC YC!
The YC is a lovely experience. The private pool deck, lounge and dining are a great way to escape from the hustle/bustle and to really relax.
We used to sail X often and decided to try MSC YC in early 2020. Never looked back. The last 6 cruises have all been MSC YC
The ships vary (as you know being experienced in cruising) and are fun to explore.
What makes YC is the staff, crew, privacy and how they work to make your vacation special.
On OC they will take you over the YCs beach/dining. Your wifi and YC bev package goes with you.
On Embarkation Day-- you will see right away how YC is wonderful
- and the YC off/on at each port is such a nice amenity...

If you want a preview, take look at this video, it shows the whole process of boarding in YC at Terminal C...
Don't let anyone take your luggage before you get to the white YC tents as they will get special tags applied there to ensure rapid delivery.
I'll be interested in your perspective of MSC YC. I, a former Celebrity loyalist, sailed MSC YC on Meraviglia in September and was blown away......so much so, in fact, that I am again sailing on February 11th on Meraviglia in YC again. Enjoy your cruise. I'm sure it will be great.
Packing almost complete, flying Virgin Atlantic to Miami in the morning, looking forward to a change in the weather 🙂

Thanks. I had not seen that one out of the many that I have looked at in preparation.

We are hoping that our Lyft/uber driver will be able to drop us off at the Yacht Club tent but if not, then we will definitely keep this in mind.

Thank you. We are really looking forward to it. We still have one Celebrity cruise scheduled, Millennium in May in the Retreat so we'll see what happens after that.

MSC Divina Yacht Club
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/New-Zealand-c-6899-56a209973df78cf772713ebc.JPG "msc divina yacht club video")
The MSC Yacht Club on the MSC Divina is much like the one on the other MSC cruise ships in the Fantasia class like the MSC Splendida . It's an exclusive "ship within a ship" sanctuary, with suite accommodations, Concierge reception area, lounge, pool and bar area, plus a private restaurant and private access to the MSC Aurea Spa.
Those staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy complimentary wines, spirits, and gourmet snacks in the Concierge lounge, along with Butler service in their staterooms or suites. The spectacular views of the sea from this Deck 15 Lounge also make the Yacht Club a guest favorite.
The MSC Cruises' ships with Yacht Clubs include MSC Divina, MSC Fantasia, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview, MSC Bellissima, and MSC Splendida.
Top Sail Lounge
TripSavvy / Linda Garrison
The Top Sail Lounge in the MSC Divina Yacht Club is a quiet place to have a drink, enjoy a snack, or just appreciated the exceptional views of the sea. It is an exclusive area for those staying in the Yacht Club staterooms and suites.
Snacks in the Top Sail Lounge
Those staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy nightly canapes and other snacks along with a complimentary drink in the Top Sail Lounge.
Light Bites in the Top Sail Lounge
Guests staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy light bites in the Top Sail Lounge, but they also have access to a dedicated restaurant for dinner. The menus in this special restaurant are exciting and sophisticated, and unlimited drinks are included with each meal. On the MSC Divina, the dedicated Yacht Club restaurant is named La Muse, and it is located aft on deck 15.
Sophia Loren Suite Sitting Room
The Sophia Loren Suite on the MSC Divina is one of two Royal Suites on the large ship . The suite was designed by Sophia Loren and has a separate sleeping area. The decor is mostly red, and the walls are covered with photos from her movie career. The suite has a separate bedroom and measures 390 square feet with a 172 square foot balcony.
Photos of Ms. Loren in some of her famous movie roles adorn the walls of the suite, and occupants can sit at a replica of her dressing table to apply makeup and style their hair. However, sitting at this dressing table probably won't make you look like Sophia Loren, but might give you an extra boost of confidence.
Sophia Loren Suite Bedroom
Doesn't this bed look like it was designed for a famous movie star like Sophia Loren? The red certainly looks like it is fit for a diva.
Deluxe Suite Category YC1
Those staying in one of the 62 MSC Yacht Club suites on the MSC Divina can enjoy all the yacht club amenities, including 24-hour butler service. These suites measure 234-283 square feet, plus a 61 square foot balcony. They aren't as spacious or distinctive as the Sophia Loren Suite but are very nice (and less expensive).
Wheelchair Accessible Deluxe Suite
The MSC Divina has two wheelchair accessible deluxe suites in the exclusive MSC Yacht Club area. They measure 356 square feet and have a 39 square foot balcony.
Le Muse Private Restaurant
Le Muse is the private restaurant for those staying in the MSC Divina Yacht Club. This restaurant is located aft on deck 15 and features fine food and panoramic views of the sea.
A summary of the special features in the MSC Yacht Club include:
- Unlimited drinks in all bars and restaurants of the ship
- MSC Yacht Club Le Muse restaurant with all-inclusive dining at flexible times
- Priority check-in and check-out in a dedicated area of the terminal
- Exclusive Top Sail Lounge offering finger foods, desserts, afternoon and midnight snacks
- Private MSC Yacht Club swimming pool and bar
- Suites with Egyptian cotton linens
- Dorelan pillow menu
- 24-hour butler and concierge service

MSC Divina Review
How does a Mediterranean cruise line pay tribute to Italian film legend Sophia Loren? By building a truly beautiful cruise ship, with nods to La Dolce Vita. Launched in 2012, MSC Divina stands out for the sheer attractiveness of its public areas. The atrium's two-story Swarovski staircase glitters with thousands of crystals -- a photo standing on the stairs is the ship's most popular selfie, we're told -- and similar glam touches are displayed throughout the vessel.
MSC Divina was refurbished in 2017 and is still in good shape thanks to its dry-dock days in 2021.
The Exclusive Yacht Club is a Highlight of the MSC Divina Deck Plan
The MSC Divina deck plans are well designed and easy to navigate. Despite its length (333 meters or 1,092 feet), 18 decks and maximum capacity of 3,436 passengers, this vessel has a nice passenger flow. Cabins and public spaces are grouped together on different decks, which allows for the vast majority of staterooms and suites to be quiet at night. Only cabins on decks 5 (Saturno), 8 (Artemide) and 13 (Cupido) may experience noise, as they’re either close to or directly above or below busy common areas.
One of the highlights of this Fantasia-class vessel is its ship-within-a-ship concept, the Yacht Club. With its own pool, restaurant and lounge -- as well as butler service and a host of other perks -- the MSC Divina Yacht Club is a true haven (and a spacious one, at that) where you feel far from the hustle and bustle. Not only that, but since you see the same small group of people day in and day out, the Yacht Club allows you to pretend there aren't over 4,000 other passengers onboard. The Yacht Club is located on decks 15 and 16 forward.
MSC Divina Caribbean Sailings Include a Stop at MSC’s Private Island
MSC Divina cruise ship offers European and Caribbean sailings, drawing passengers from the US, Latin America and Europe alike. The European sailings have port calls in Spain, France and Italy, while there are a few each year that go from Funchal (Madeira) to Italy with a stop in Morocco. One of the main highlights of the Caribbean itinerary is the stop at Ocean Cay Marine Reserve, MSC’s private island in The Bahamas, which offers water sports and sandy beaches lined with cabanas.
Although its parent company has worldwide recognition with international cruisers, MSC still faces the challenge of name recognition in the United States where Divina is based, although newer ships based in North America such as MSC Seashore and MSC Meraviglia have helped. Still, the line continues to courted Americans with several smart, wallet-friendly promotions specifically geared to Divina. The first is a continuous offer to allow children under 18 to sail for free if they share the cabin with their parents. And the second is a status match program where the line will honor passengers' status from their competitors. We met many people onboard new to MSC who had booked, based upon the offers -- and were happy with what they found.
Will all Americans embrace Divina's international vibe? No. MSC does not have the party hearty atmosphere of Carnival, nor the action-packed thrills of Royal Caribbean. But we met many North American passengers who enjoyed the diversity that Divina offers, at a reasonable price. With so many Italian touches, the ship almost offers two vacations in one -- and that's a bargain no matter what your nationality.
MSC Activities and Entertainment
MSC Divina offers tons of things to do, with a large pool deck, a huge spa, live music, fun daily quizzes, a casino, and an arcade with Formula 1 simulators. A high point is the evening programming. Although Divina doesn't have Broadway shows, passengers applauded loudly for the twice nightly reviews full of music and acrobatics.
We also found the evenings packed with fun activities such as name that tune trivia, movies on the Lido deck (complete with popcorn) and enthusiastic theme parties (you haven't seen a White Party until you've seen hundreds of Brazilians participating in an exuberant line dance). Entertainment staff were everywhere, cheerfully encouraging participation. Discos and live music go late into the night, er, morning, and the tables near the pool are packed until late, Italian-style. You have to work hard to not have a good time.
MSC Divina Experiences
MSC offers passengers three tiers of inclusions (or “experiences”), each with its own perks and price. These can seem confusing to people who are new to the brand.
Bella Experience: This is the most basic package, and comes with a "guarantee" cabin, meaning you'll have a cabin but you won't be able to choose exactly where it is. You can buy a discounted drink package when you book but other perks are not available.
Fantastica Experience: This tier is only available for passengers booking a Balcony, Ocean View or Interior cabin. Perks of the MSC Divina Fantastica tier include the opportunity to choose the cabin and its location, free in-room breakfast, discounted beverage package rates and specialty restaurant meals, and 24-hour room service (with a set delivery fee).
Aurea Experience: Available for Suite passengers only, the MSC Divina Aurea Experience adds a few extras to Fantastica, including welcome wine and sweets, free 24-hour room service, MyChoice dining options, free access to the Solarium and the adult-only Thermal Suite, in-room robes and slippers, pillow menus, and priority boarding.
In addition to these packages, passengers seeking a more exclusive experience can book a cabin in the MSC Divina Yacht Club , which is a separate section within the ship with extra perks. 24-hour butler service, dedicated concierges, a la carte meals at the Yacht Club restaurant, free minibar items, free drinks in all Yacht Club bars and lounges, free Wi-Fi, and exclusive access to a sun deck and Top Sail Lounge are only some of the Yacht Club privileges.

All meals in the two main dining rooms and the buffet

Use of the fitness center, excluding classes or training sessions

Wi-Fi (except for Yacht Club passengers)
Spa treatments, fitness classes and training sessions
Purchases from onboard shops

Fellow Passengers
Although MSC Cruises prides itself on its international passenger base, the majority of passengers who sail Divina are North Americans. Other passengers might include English-speakers from the U.K., Ireland and South Africa. MSC has a large presence in Brazil and a good reputation in the Latino world; expect to hear a lot of Spanish, German and Italian while walking through the halls. Loudspeaker announcements are made in English only.
When school is out, families are common, especially as MSC lets kids younger than 18 sail free when sharing a cabin with two paying adults. Divina draws from a wide age range, and you'll see all types.
MSC Divina Dress Code
Daytime: During the day, the MSC Divina dress code is casual, and shorts and tees are the norm.
Evening: Generally, the dress onboard is casual, though MSC Divina theme nights -- such as White Night, where all passengers dress in white, and Italian night, where people don green, red and white -- are common. At night, women typically wear sundresses or slacks or capris with blouses; men wear khakis or slacks and button-down or collared shirts. On MSC Divina gala nights, cocktail dresses are the norm for women, while men strut their stuff in suits or jackets and ties. On three- to six-night cruises, MSC Divina hosts one formal night. For sailings of seven to 10 nights, passengers have two formal nights, three for sailings of 11 to 14 nights and four on sailings of 15 nights or longer.
Not permitted: At night, jeans, T-shirts, shorts and bare feet are prohibited in main public areas, including the main dining room, but are not enforced in the theater or disco (except bare feet, which are always prohibited anywhere other than at the pool).

What is the MSC Yacht Club? Take a look at MSC Cruises’ luxury suite area
MSC Cruises sails nearly two dozen beautiful ships from home ports around the world, but their inviting sun decks can be crowded, and you're likely to encounter queues for dinner, shows and guest services.
The trick to creating a more luxurious experience on this big-ship cruise line is to book a stay in the line's Yacht Club. This upscale enclave within MSC Cruises ' larger ships offers guests more spacious accommodations, butler service and dedicated restaurants and lounges — even coffee delivered to your room each morning, just the way you like it.
Because of the Yacht Club , MSC can offer an inviting experience for cruisers who like big-ship cruising but crave more elevated accommodations, dining and amenities. MSC Cruises was one of the first lines to introduce this ship-within-a-ship concept, along with Norwegian Cruise Line . Now other popular cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean , also have adopted it.
The Yacht Club section on several of MSC Cruises' ships offers gated access to semi-private dining, butler service and more, but it comes at a price. Find out how much you can expect to pay and what you'll get for your money.
For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .
What are the MSC Yacht Club perks?
All stays in the Yacht Club include priority check-in and checkout; priority disembarkation and boarding on shore excursions days; free premium alcohol and Wi-Fi packages; a bathrobe and slippers; complimentary access to the Aurea Spa thermal suite; 24-hour concierge and butler services (dining and spa reservations, unpacking and repacking, morning coffee delivery, etc.); a free daily in-cabin newspaper of your choice, delivered; and the ability to change your cruise one time without penalty.
Yacht Club cruisers are also entitled to discounts of 10% on spa treatments, 20% on specialty dining packages and 40% on spa packages.
In addition, passengers booked in the Yacht Club have access to their own dedicated bar, lounge and restaurant, as well as a semi-private outdoor bar, pool and hot tubs, all on an exclusive sun deck. When ships dock at the line's private island, Ocean Cay Marine Reserve , Yacht Club passengers have private beach and restaurant access .
In their cabins, Yacht Club cruisers will find a pillow menu, memory foam mattresses, high-quality linens, bathrooms with marble floors, a specialty coffee maker, complimentary open minibar access, one gratis bottle of spirits (choose from a list of available options), free one-time snacks, 24-hour room service and nightly turn-down chocolates from Venchi, an Italian chocolatier that partners with the cruise line.
Which MSC cruise ships have the Yacht Club?
Thirteen ships in the MSC Cruises fleet have the Yacht Club on board:
- MSC Bellissima
- MSC Euribia
- MSC Fantasia
- MSC Grandiosa
- MSC Meraviglia
- MSC Preziosa
- MSC Seascape.
- MSC Seashore.
- MSC Seaside
- MSC Seaview
- MSC Splendida
- MSC Virtuosa
- MSC World Europa
Upcoming vessel MSC World America (2025) also will have the Yacht Club.
The largest Yacht Club in the fleet is on MSC World Europa, offering 152 suites. The second-largest is found on the line's two Seaside EVO Class ships, MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape, which each have 131 suites.
MSC Yacht Club cabins
All accommodations in the Yacht Club are labeled as suites, even though they comprise some standard cabin types. The specific stateroom types offered will vary by ship, but in general, they range from windowless interior cabins and deluxe balcony rooms to Executive and Royal Suites with more space, walk-in closets and bathrooms with both showers and bathtubs.
New to the fleet with the line's World Class are 1,600-square-foot Owner Suites, which include multi-room layouts, walk-in closets, bathtubs and balconies, each with a whirlpool and alfresco dining area.
Also new are Duplex Suites, offering two decks of space, with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a dining area, living room and guest bath downstairs. These also include two private sun decks with loungers, one of which boasts a whirlpool.
How much does it cost to stay in the MSC Yacht Club?
As you might expect, the cost to stay in the Yacht Club depends on several factors, including cabin type, the length of the sailing and where you're going and when. However, in line with the rest of the brand's pricing, a stay in the Yacht Club is an excellent value when you compare it to stays in other lines' dedicated suite areas or to luxury cruise prices.
I priced out several sailings departing over the next two years on some of the line's newest and largest ships. This is what was available at press time. (Note: MSC Cruises' website will only allow me to choose a general Yacht Club designation when booking. That means a guaranteed suite within the Yacht Club, but you won't know what type it is until closer to sailing.)
- 7-night Caribbean and Bahamas cruise on MSC Seascape: $6,538 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Miami, March 16-23, 2024
