Either I've not been paying attention or this is new. Passengers who book one of the 99 suites in the VIP Yacht Club on MSC Cruises' new MSC Fantasia, launching December, have soft and alcoholic drinks included in the price.
Suddenly it becomes a lot more attractive!
Yacht Club people also have 24-hour butler service, a VIP swimming pool, hydro-massage pool, solarium, lounge and direct access to the spa.
The ship holds a massive 3,959 passengers and takes pride of place in MSC's new 2008/09 brochure. It will be sailing the Med - the maiden voyage is an eight-night Christmas cruise, then there's a New Year sailing and 12-night itineraries out of Genoa.
How much extra does it cost for the Yacht Club? Unfortunately my press release skips over the money bit and as I'm away and it's now 7am in the morning UK time, I can't find out.
If anyone can enlighten me, I'd love to know.

Having spoken to Lynette Webster at MSC Cruises, I am delighted to be able to (sort of) answer your query!
MSC Yacht Club Suites start from £1,980pp (based on two people sharing) and include 4 categories: Standard, De Luxe, Executive and Royal Suites.
and you can see how luxurious they are at:

and they are being advertised and offered for sale by the fantastic cruise agents at:

Answers it sort of, as you say. But I still don't know how that compares with what the ordinary people pay? Would be so nice to get a steer from MSC Cruises.
