Here we go again! Although similar to other reports I’ve done, (as the Virtuosa is almost identical), I’ll comment on the differences Euribia. The aim of the report is to help others about to sail and, those considering whether or not to book. Also, it’s great for me to be able to scroll back and remember happy times when I’m at home and in between cruises! It’s surprising what one forgets, and how good it is when the pictures and text bring it all back to life! I welcome questions about the ship. I love a challenge, and finding things out, so ask away! For now, I’m checking tickets and my bookings. Also, thinking about what outfits to take and more importantly, what I can leave at home without regret! I’ve sorted out cat care and am winding things up nicely at work. I do work in the world of watchmaking, so a bit of a pun there! Counting down the days now! Only four more sleeps! (Eight if you include afternoon naps! 😅). Feel free to follow along on this fabulous festive cruise! 🎄

If you are in yacht club, mention to your butler. If not, perhaps buy in the special experiences.

We always use this perk too.

If you booked through a TA ask them, if you booked directly with MSC, give them a call.

Thanks for doing this. I’m glad you enjoyed it and had a good upgrade. It would have given you a lot more room even if you didn’t get to use the balcony much.

That does sound interesting.

Only one?! One each I guess. A bottle of fizz and more chocs would be nice too! also maybe free tickets to special show. I like idea of a back of scenes tour. These are usually paid for but a one time visit would be good. I wouldn’t want to do that twice! I actually enjoyed dinner with the officers on NCL Star. I didn’t think I would but it was well run and we enjoyed it.

Wow! You won’t know what’s hit you! It’s great! You are going to have an amazing cruise! I don’t stop smiling from beginning to the end!

I was told to look out for the Diamond plus coming soon! That’s good new for us as we have over three and a half times the amount needed for diamond. I have written to MSC with my suggestions of additional benefits I would like to see. They are very receptive to customer feedback so well worth you doing the same.

We are YC. Also got an upgrade. We were in YC on Virtuosa earlier this month and World Europa in January. I’ll probably do a live report. I’m interested to know if I can still get any chocolatey fruit treats! I really enjoyed them when we eventually got back to YC after a night in Masters of the Sea. I’ll miss them if I can’t get them! 😅 Have you been in YC before?

Please report back. We are getting on as you get off! 😅

Thanks for confirming. I wonder how much the discount is? Pre paying for massages is a good idea anyway as they include a discount and include service charge so nothing to pay onboard. I wonder how much the ‘percentage’ is and if it is off the already reduced price. If not, it’s not much of a YC perk! 😅

Yes congratulations to you both! We too, got YC balcony with maximum YC inside bid! We sail in 2 weeks!

Great idea for YC to have its own hour or so! Much better than mixing with the hoarders of folk down there. We didn’t use it at all the last two cruises but would if this was the case! lobe your pictures b6 the way! Excellent review so far.

I think we would avoid the Brasserie and even if it meant waiting, we would go to YC restaurant. Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear you seem to have wasted a meal.

We found the same on Virtuosa and Grandiosa with so many people using the spa. We didn’t the using our YC perk of going for an hour each day because it isn’t enjoyable with it so crowded. I agree, we often have used spa on NCL and rarely have we felt it too busy.

We were in the same position in YC and took our speciality meal at lunchtime on the sea day so we didn’t miss out on YC evening meal! For me, I preferred YC food but it made a change.

That’s helpful to know. Thank you.

Was there a sommelier in Yacht club? We were ‘between sommeliers’ when on Virtuosa and missed their advice and input! I’d love it if there’s going to be one on Euribia! Also, thanks for the daily planners, I notice one of our fave musicians Roberto is playing in Master if the Seas pub. Did you get to see him? He has such a powerful voice.

I was wondering the same! I am interested to know what entertainment is around the ship. If there is a Master of the Seas pub and who plays there at the moment.

Thanks for this live report. We are onboard in 25 days, also in YC, so I’m keen to see how things are.

See original post. The poster booked Fantasia. Obviously made a good offer on the upgrade and got rewarded. Well done MSC. We think even more highly of them since we have had great upgrades too.

It’s not you! It sucks! I’m getting the 500:errors too. Cleared cache history etc but nothing. drives me mad. The worst thing about MSC is the prior to boarding website experience. Once onboard all fine and I find great help with OT stuff. I think I’ll wait til I’m in YC next week and ask them to help me check-in for next months! 😅😂

Your report was great. The pictures are stunning. Do you take them with your phone or a camera? I was interested in the conversation about music as I am sensitive to loud music and would need peace n quiet on occasions too! The food also looked very good. Thanks for sharing your trip.
