I have just been on MSC Yacht Club!

And what a truly amazing experience it was too!

From the moment I arrived at the port I felt like some kind of Celebrity, I was showed to a designated area for Yacht Club members where a line of immaculately dressed Butlers were waiting to greet me. Then I was led to the check in desk, priority of course, and even offered a drink whilst I waited - don't mind if I do! My Butler then guided me through the ship, the Amazing Splendida, to the Yacht Club area and showed me to my suite.....

My suite was positioned facing forwards at the front of the ship, and was huge! I had a bottle of Wine and a tasty fresh fruit basket in the cabin (which I later made full use of) it had everything I needed and more right down to some slippers and luxury dressing gown and wait for it girls.....a walk in wardrobe!

The Yacht Club can only be accessed by using your Yacht Club key card in the lifts which makes you feel very important indeed, it's probably what the Cunarders feel like when they are travelling in the Grills as you can't help but feel a little bit special. It is set out over 2 levels with a stunning sweeping Yellow Swarovski Crystal stair case the Elegance of the ship certainly shines through. You get your own bar/lounge area called the Top Sail Lounge were you have panoramic views of the Ocean, here all drinks are included and they serve afternoon tea (which was very delightful I may add being the tea lover that I am) and continental breakfasts including smoked salmon, pastries and fruit, yummy.

The ship itself....well what can I say.... by far one of the most innovative and stunningly designed ships I have ever been on. The decor was contemporary without being too much and very welcoming. She still felt very new. My favourite part of the ship though has to be the main atrium area where the Swarovski Crystal staircases take centre stage - there are about 8 of them! With a grand piano which is also emblazoned with Crystals, every girls dream!

The Ship was well equiped for children with lots of fun things to do onboard. There is a real Formula 1 simulator which makes you feel like you are actually in a racing car! And a 4D Cimema experience, yes 4D what is this I hear you ask?! Well it is 3D but with the 4th Element of feelings so your seat moves and you feel wind and water droplets as if you are really there! It is a very strange but great experience! The childrens club looked really fun and on one of the evenings they had them all up on the stage doing a song and dance routine which was really sweet.

The food was absolutely yummy I didn’t have one gripe about it. I have to admit, like many others, I had heard bad things about the food on MSC things like it being served too cold but everything I had was very tasty and of a really good standard! See for yourself....

I have to give a very big Thank You to the Concierge in Yacht Club who was very concerned to learn I had lost my phone whilst on board and made it a point to try and contact as many people as possible to try and help find it for me and when this was not possible arranged a lost item form for me to use for my insurance, he really was second to none with his service and a credit to the Yacht Club!

Overall my experience of MSC was that of one of the best I have had onboard a ship, the food, the staff, the ship itself was all 100% and I would certainly recommend it to any of my customers in future when looking for cruises.

Yachts of Seabourn are having a huge SALE week at the moment and I just wanted to share this truly amazing deal that I have packaged for the Quest on the 22nd August for 7nts. It really is 6* luxury at its absolute best!


Why cruise Yachts of Seabourn? Well cruising with them is unlike any other form of travel it will be luxurious in that you would expect from a 6* cruise line BUT it is relaxed and casual so you won’t feel out of place and uncomfortable in anyway. They have intimate Yachts rather than large ships so you should expect to receive a unique style of heartfelt hospitality from the staff that will be very personal feeling.

What you get included

Return flights from with all transfers included.

In suite Bar and refrigerator stocked with your preferences.

Complimentary fine wines at lunch and dinner and open bars throughout the Yacht.

All dining venue including speciality

Gratuities

24 hour room service

Wi-Fi access throughout the Yacht

V1 - Veranda suite - £2229pp

PH - Penthouse Suite £3229pp

This really is amazing value for money when you consider you will not need to spend hardly anything onboard. If you compare it to some of the mainstreem cruise lines where you have to buy all your drinks which can become rather costly!

These prices are only valid until MONDAY 28TH MARCH 2011 so dont miss out on this little piece of luxury call me today to take advantage of the great cruise deal....

MSC Yacht Club here I come!

I will be out of the office from today until Monday 18th July as I am going to be lording it up in the MSC Yach Club onboard Splendida!! I will be sure to tell you all about my luxurious pampering when I get back in a full blog but in the meantime here is a little taster for you on what I can expect....

Back from my travels...

Well, I am back to work now after my lovely Spanish holiday, see my previous blog busy busy busy, where I spent a week on the Costa Del Sol with some of my family including my Mum, Sister, Brother in Law and my little Niece and Nephew. And what a wonderful time I had!

I would like to say it was a relaxing holiday but with a 3yr and 9yr old to entertain every day it was far from that....although I did manage to steal a day by the pool relaxing with a good book. The weather was beautiful for most parts apart from the first day I arrived which was rather overcast, although I did still manage to get burned! There was me thinking my mum's saying "it’s not the sun that tans you it’s the wind" was a load of old tosh but perhaps she has been right all these years!

The view from our penthouse apartment was absolutely amazing we could see right down to the Ocean if we looked to the right and the mountains were on our left...

We visited a water park one of the days and a fun fair but I am a huge wimp when it comes to water and heights so I left it to the kids!

One evening we decided to take a little boat trip which took us out to see from the Marina...it was very relaxing and included some free bubbly which is always nice :)

I am back at work now and settled back into my Specialist Cruise Consultant role (feels like I never left!) so, whether you are looking for a last minute cruise deal or you would like to look at your next cruise options feel free to call me and I will, as always, be delighted to help!
