MSC Grandiosa Yacht club review

We are just on our way to home after wonderful 9 nights on MSC Grandiosa. We are a Scandinavian couple in our 40s and stayed in Yacht club inside. We travelled with a friend who stayed in YC deluxe balcony cabin. This was our second time in YC, we cruise usually on Celebrity or Royal.

Cruise was very relaxing. Because of covid regulations you are not allowed to go onshore on your own, only on ship excursions. We are usually very active and make plans but this time we spend most of the time onboard and got off only in Palermo and Barcelona. In Palermo we booked a city tour which was ok but really hot (heat wave) and in Barcelona we booked a winery visit Vilarnau. Winery visit was good and worth the visit. We all agreed we like to make our own plans and dont really like to be in big groups.    We had great time onboard! We enjoyed everything the ship had to offer. Good sallad lunches on the YC pool deck, long dinners in the YC restaurant and cocktails/coffees in the Top Sail lounge and in the bars. Couple of evenings we got a chance to dance under the stars and of course we tried the water slides too! 🙂    

Service was very good. Sometimes slow when ordering drinks by the pool but otherwise excellent. Our butler wasnt really that interested in serving us and we think it might have been because of other more demanding guests in other cabins. We stayed in YC inside cabin and hadn’t any specific requests and it didnt really affect our experience. Our friends butler was very good and helpful so our friend enjoyed his first cruise very much. She arranged some champagne and cheese on the balcony, so nice pre dinner drink for us!

Wine and food - We thought both wine and food selections were better this time 

than in the Caribbean couple of years ago. We enjoyed long dinners with different wines for starter and main course and it worked well. They usually have couple of wines to choose from (2-3 white, 2-3 red and one rose) My husband and our friend are very interested in wine and didn’t find a reason to upgrade. Included wines were good. There is one champagne Nicolas Feuillette which is included. For the minibar you can choose either a gin, whisky or one bottle of champagne. It was Jacquart champagne and it was nice to enjoy on our friends balcony. 

We are diamond and ate once at the L’atelier, french specialty restaurant. Good food but the service was a hit or miss… We got a lot of diamond benefits, sweets and macarones and some Prosecco. We got the white chocolate ships too but unfortunately didn’t really have right opportunity to eat it. So much to eat… The whole cruise experience felt very safe and we got our temperature taken every day and made a COVID-test once during the cruise. It is possible to keep the distance to other people in YC. Staff are wearing double masks and they are cleaning all the time.   

All in all great cruise, if you have any questions I am happy to answer!

Thanks for the review.  We are sailing on Grandiosa next month. We are really looking forward to her.

thanks for the review. Did you take afternoon tea service? If so how was it?

We ordered only “normal” pot tea during the afternoons but they did have a afternoon tea-table for display so they are still offering it. They have some sandwiches etc. to order as well. Staff is really accommodating so it should be a nice experience. We didn’t see anyone having it this time (people were mostly by the pool)

Lucky you! We enjoyed the ship! We tried some pizza and burgers from the regular buffet and it was all good. Nice music and drinks in the Sky lounge!

 Great to hear! Does this imply that there actually are deck parties?

What about venues for live music in the evening / night, if I may ask?

Yes, they had deck parties every night from 9 pm. There was couple of nights we danced more and couple of nights slower music and people mostly were sitting and listening. I missed traditional night club but I understand it might not be appropriate to have it right now.

Sky lounge (adults only) had different entertainers playing every night (one guitarist, one duo, one pianist) Yacht club had live music too. We enjoyed the entertainment. There was a lovely duo Sarah&Peter which we enjoyed extra!  They had some “traditional” shows but we skipped them. There was some Beatles music played by a guitarist (quite nice) and even regular talented staff who got to show their talent. A lot of music to enjoy.

Always good with different perspectives. We didn’t have any service issues in the Top sail, but food in general was a different story.

Find a Cruise on MSC Grandiosa

with a cruise advisor

Debuted in mid-November 2019, MSC Grandiosa hosts a whopping 6,334 passengers and 1,704 crew members. On board, travelers can take advantage of two different pools, a water park, the Sportplex amusement park and a fitness center. Those seeking a thrilling, albeit less strenuous, entertainment option should check out a live show in the evening.

Grandiosa also boasts an especially large Yacht Club – a private section of the ship that offers exclusive amenities to members, such as a private pool and 24-hour butler service. Meanwhile, entertainment options for kids include seven different rooms (each designated for a different age group), a gaming room for teens and a Lego movie maker studio for children.

Guests can choose from a variety of staterooms, including standard Interior, Ocean View and Balcony rooms, as well as Family Cabins (perfect for up to six guests) and an array of Suite-category options. Each stateroom – regardless of size – comes equipped with Zoe: MSC's voice-activated assistant who can answer any questions cruisers have about their ship.

In addition to the main dining room and the Marketplace Buffet (which is open 20 hours a day), cruisers can choose to dine at several specialty spots, including Butcher's Cut for sumptuous steaks and HOLA! Tapas Bar.

Grandiosa sails through the Mediterranean and South America on upcoming voyages.
