My first time at a yacht club! 🛳️💕
My first time on an MSC Bellissima 🛳️💕
My mom and I went on a Kyushu cruise just the two of us, enjoying some quality time together! ✨
I spent nine days in a special room called the "Yacht Club" inside the MSC Bellissima! The Yacht Club area is separate from the regular guest room area and has its own exclusive restaurant and pool!
Each room had a dedicated butler who provided priority access to shows and was readily available to help with any problems we might have. I was so happy with the impeccable service! 💕
As an adult, I haven't had many opportunities to spend quality time with my parents, so I thought I'd like to create more time like this 🌟 The cruise was amazing❣️

The toilets in the MSC's boarding tents are not clean.
The toilets in the MSC boarding tents are not very clean, so be sure to use the restroom at your hotel or elsewhere before boarding.

Izumi no Yu is the best
The price has been rising year after year, making it less and less of an option to add casually, but Izumi-no-Yu has a bath, which is rare for a cruise ship. It's recommended in the summer when you'll be sweating. The Nebuta Festival fireworks viewed from the Izumi-no-Yu area were amazing.
The food gets better with each cruise, so I'm looking forward to my next trip.
What's truly amazing about this ship is the crew.
You can feel the staff's desire to entertain guests, which makes the cruise truly comfortable.

A boat perfect for beginners
The MSC Bellissima, made famous by Japanet Cruises and a driving force behind the cruise boom, is simply fun! Highly recommended if you love dancing.
Yacht club cabins offer a relaxing experience with services like a butler and a dedicated floor for yacht club members, but they are more expensive than regular cabins, so when they are offered at a discounted price, it's a great opportunity.
