ad - I’m currently on a cruise and I’m staying in the most luxurious cabin I’ve ever experienced. It's a world away from my normal inside cabins! In this video, I'll show you it all.
Usually, I book the cheapest cabin on the ship, I don’t mind where it is, and if I do upgrade I consider it a real treat to have a window or any outside space. On this cruise though, my room doesn’t just have a balcony it has it’s own butler and a whole list of perks that I didn’t know existed on cruise ships.
The ship I’m on is MSC’s Euribia, my cabin was assigned a few months before the cruise, and I was given cabin 16016, which is inside an area called MSC Yacht Club. It’s a luxury ship within a ship concept and I didn’t know how that would affect the actual cabin, I’ve never had a cabin above a standard balcony before and this one was called a “Deluxe Suite” which sounded very fancy.

This is my 8th cruise with MSC and its felt like a whole new world for me. I knew I’d have to ask the Butler for cookies but beyond that, I didn’t know what I could possibly use a butler for. It’s not something I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about!
My greatest fear of course was that I would get addicted to this kind of luxury and never be able to cruise in a cheap inside cabin again. That would massively reduce the amount of time I could spend at sea.
Looking at the deck plans it looked as though my cabin was near the reception desk and close to the Top Sail lounge. The whole of MSC’s Yacht Club is towards the front of the ship so I was hoping that we wouldn’t feel too much movement up here as the movement on ships is often more at the ends.
We met our butler in the terminal at check-in and he brought us up to our room. Yacht Club guests have a magic trick with the elevators which give them priority so we didn’t have to make any other stops along the way. I’m not sure I’ve ever made it to my cabin first time without going in the wrong direction before so an escort was appreciated, I’m normally wandering around the cabins, up and down the corridors and having to go back on myself.
It was around 12:30 when we boarded and I was surprised to see that our cabin was already ready for us. Normally the cabins on ships are ready around 3 or so on a cruise which means that you are left carrying your bags around until that time. It’s never a big problem, but it’s definitely nicer to be able to drop off the bags and start the cruise as soon as possible.
