29 pages too much to read through although i have read some. Was this group of passengers altogether on a private excursion. What was the name of the company running the excursion What was the reason given that they werent back by 3pm Was it the tours fault or the passengers How late were they after 3pm was it minutes or hours. There are hundreds of passengers do there own thing and also go on private excursions throughout the world on cruises, they seem to be getting a hard time so can i assume it was something to do with them that they were late.

We do use a TA ??

Understand your viewpoint, however we have been on a few Celebrity cruises but never tried YC on MSC so its time to take the plunge and give it a go, we may may regret it or may be converted who knows?

No not retreat but a V1 prime veranda grade cabin with a drinks pckage incl.

Some good positive replies which is swaying us to MSC. The other cruise we are looking at is a Celebrity cruise which we have done on a few occasions and always enjoyed. Price wise there not much between them altho the celebrity is a 9 night cruise compared to a 7 day with MSC. Normally it would be the Celebrity cruise however we want to give YC a go.

Apologies this should be MSC Divina I enquired about.

Ok thanks I've made a booboo it's MSC Divina,🙂

Thanks for the reply I take it it is much better quality food & service on YC compared to the normal dining experience?

Wife and I have been on many cruises with different cruiselines but only 1 MSC cruise. We thought the ship was lovely but most other things food, entertainment, etc not as good as other cruiselines We have been offered a cruise at a tempting price from our TA on MSC Grandiosa med cruise from Rome later this year with the upgraded yacht club package. Is the food at Le Muse restaurant so much better than the normal main dining room and would members on here particularly recommend the Yacht club experience in General. I have noted the reviews are very poor but maybe not for yacht club experience Thanks for any replies

The TA asked us if we wanted to ask about changing but the only real advantage would be an earlier arrival time in Miami, also would prob be subject to a deviation fee ,& London hotel fee if we decided (as has been advised) to go down a day earlier. An advantage looks like as poster Iprp has stated the customs & passport control will be sorted in New York . (We have a 3 HR layover )and prob less hassle in Miami airport.

Original poster here, TA and myself were convinced it would be Edinburgh , London Heathrow Miami with BA flights but it's not! Flying Edinburgh to New York / Miami in both directions with Delta airlines. Business class to & from New York & 1st class to Miami from New York Don't arrive in Miami till 8:45pm so am I right in assuming it will be about midnight by the time we get to our pre stay Hotel( not known at present time)

Just what we love to hear and yes we have done numerous cruises with different cruise lines with poor reviews & went on to enjoy them, it's just I wasn't expecting such mediocre reviews on this brand new exciting ship.

Don't think that would help us, after our TA ( my niece😊) recommended it to us as a brilliant offer with the business class flights, I checked how much the flights were from Edin to Miami and I was shocked to see they weren't far short of the full price that we were paying for the whole deal. So no idea how they are doing it, they must have a special cheaper deal with the airlines involved so no we won't be doing our own flights😃

I see the first CC reviews coming through now and they are a bit disappointing at best 3 stars, with moans about various areas Going on our 1st Regent Cruise in November so hopefully the reviews improve although I do realise people are more liable to write a poor review than a good one after a cruise and for 1 couple who didn't like it there are probably 20 who did. Hopefully we are one of these other 19 couples😀

My flights are from my nearest airport (Edinburgh) who can only fly me to Heathrow then onto Miami if I am to arrive there on the same day and be able to book into my arranged pre cruise hotel. I don't see any other options If I was to fly from Edinburgh to Europe then onto Miami it takes too long and sometimes involves 2 changes so would never be there in time to arrive at my hotel?
