Announcement via e-mail today:

Close your eyes and imagine the magic of a sea voyage. Then imagine this trip being made extra special by the service of a butler who will look after you, turning your cruise into a truly unforgettable experience. This will become a reality on board MSC Fantasia and sister ship MSC Splendida, the biggest ships built for European ship owner. These two new ships will join the fleet in November 2008 and spring 2009 respectively, marking the beginning of a new concept for MSC Cruises and a new era for our vacations at sea.

MSC Fantasia & MSC Splendida are the first ships in the fleet to have an exclusive VIP area. On board MSC Fantasia this will be called the MSC Yacht Club and will consist of 99 spacious suites. Other reserved areas will include a bar, solarium, 2 Jacuzzis, 1 pool with a sky dome, an observation lounge with bar and concierge plus a magnificent panoramic view and 24/7 Butler Service, with one butler for every five suites.

MSC's personalized Butler Service will provide check-in assistance, transport luggage and upon request, unpack and organize personal belongings and stock your suite with fine wines, liquors, champagnes and cigars. In your suite, your butler will be more than happy to serve you a traditional English tea or a gourmet meal and even organize small party for you and your guests. Reservations for spa treatments, shore excursions and restaurant dining are just a request away as our Butlers are there to make your MSC Cruise a vacation of a lifetime.

This sounds a lot like NCL! Anyone know what the breakdown is for NCL? How many suites per butler?
