Hi all! I will add more content and pictures here when I get a chance (hopefully later tonight), but wanted to kick off the cruise trip review with a video we posted about our trip (room tour and great slot session included). We got some fun videos while snorkeling and those will be on a future video too! I'll detail more later and feel free to ask any questions! :)

I took a 12 day with MSC in Yacht Club in December and absolutely loved it. I’ll never cruise another way again.
Great video! Looking forward to seeing the rest.
So the plan was fly into FLL and Uber down to Miami Saturday, the day before we set sail. Earlier that week we hear news stories of the MSC Meraviglia being turned away from ports due to concerns over coronavirus. Yikes! What?!? It was quickly confirmed that those were just folks with the regular flu and our tensions were eased and we were ready to set sail.
We stayed at the Marriott Biscayne Bay (free with points earned from work travel, yay!) and walked to dinner at Kush. We had planned to go to a fancier place but were crazy tired and this farm to table place had great reviews. It lived up to the hype, yay!
The next morning we grabbed Starbucks, packed up, and headed to the port.
Check in for yacht club was a breeze with a private room with snacks (fruit, desserts, finger sandwiches) and booze (never too early for mimosas on vacation!)
Fun beer taps at the restaurant, we sampled 3 different beers.

We were on the ship quickly and escorted into the Top Sail Lounge for YC guests and then to our room! Yay! The video in the first post shows off the room, it was definitely the nicest ship room we’ve stayed in (the bed was comfy, it was sound proof, very large with tons of storage, and a great big nice shower!) It came with a butler who would stock it with whatever we wanted (we just asked for tons of still and sparkling waters daily, I drink a lot of water!) everything is included in YC so that was a plus.

I enjoyed your video. Very nice room and sweet run on Dragon Links! Looking forward to more more more!
One additional win from the first night. The casino had essentially every money sucking game we like playing (except any version of wonder 4!)

I think this was swordfish. We ordered their nightly risotto every day, it was so good and always different.
This was a sweet and savory one with pears, fancy Brie like cheese, and fig/nut clusters. Like a perfect cheese course!

And drinks of course!

Looks very nice! Enjoy the pampering ... the ship looks gorgeous. I will definitely have to check out that ships Yacht Club when they start sailing again! I want to compare it to Seaside as I absolutely loved the experience.
