After taking her first cruise while stationed in Europe, Mackenzie and her wife quickly caught the cruise bug and have now sailed six times since 2024. For this trip, they boarded MSC Meraviglia in Marseille, France , for a port-heavy Mediterranean itinerary featuring Spain and Italy, along with an unexpected itinerary change when weather prevented their planned visit to Tunisia. We also get an inside look at the MSC Yacht Club experience , from priority embarkation and the Top Sail Lounge to exclusive dining, pool areas, thermal spa access, elevated service, and even the sometimes-helpful priority elevators. Mackenzie shares why this was actually the best Yacht Club service she’s experienced so far.
