Just back from Divina Sophia Loren Suite

[kathiean]

Just returned from our spring break cruise aboard the lovely Divina in the amazing Sophia Loren suite. I will write a review later but am happy to answer any questions in the meantime. Let me say that in four cruises on Divina, all in Yacht Club but the first time in the Royal Suite, it was the most amazing, incredible experience ever!

Great to hear Kathleen!!! We've stayed in 16008,,the other YC3 and loved that stateroom!!! I just wished the balcony was laid out differently,,but would book that stateroom or The Sophia Loren Suite again in a heartbeat!!:)

Wow, sounds awesome Kathleen! :D I'm looking forward to your review.

 

Would either of you have scanned copies or photos of the menus in the YC? Also, do you know what type of diet soft drinks are available? (I assume Diet Coke, but am wondering if there are any others.)

 

Thank You!

Coca Cola Light, Coca Cola Zero, Sprite Zero and Sugar Free Red Bull

 

I haven't been able to locate any Le'Muse dining menus however. My TA will be onboard Divina this weekend and he is staying in the Yacht Club. I'll see if he can take some pics of the menus, if not,,I'll be onboard in two weeks so I'll be able to get that information for you.:)

I'm Mike's TA and while I'm not on board till this coming Saturday, let me see if I can get these to attach. It's sample menus I can pull up from a dedicate TA site for agents with MSC.

 

They're in PDF format and only let me do 5 at a time. Hope you can read them.

I like the way you think. I do have some food photos I took on our last Divina Yacht Club sailing. They're in this F-Book gallery here if you'd like a look:

See you board Saturday,

[JuneauWhatIMean]

Chip......bless your heart! I love you, I need you, I want you.......I sent you a message. ;)

 

And I love your labs, too! Your white boy looks a lot like our white girl. Labs are our favorite breed.:)

 

Have a great time Alex!

Well that might be my favorite post ever! Where did you message me at? I don't see it?!?

[JuneauWhatIMean]

That place that we cannot mention that your photos came from. ;) Not so much a message as an "I'm in". :D BTW, I am absolutely loving the photos. Drool.......:p

I must say I loved the Sophia Loren suite when we were in it for 21 nights - having the 2 rooms - however I was slightly jealous of my friends with a regular YC cabin who were able to keep their balcony doors open at night listening to the sea as they sleep. I was able to get secure one of the larger YC1 cabins that are squarer with a larger balcony on the Transatlantic for 2016. IMO I would opt for this over the YC2 on deck 12. Would I do the Sophia Loren Suite again - most likely but if it is a sea day intensive sailing the balcony is literally useless.

[JuneauWhatIMean]

Thank you, Marco. I was wondering if we could keep the balcony door open at night......we love that! (BTW,'square' YC1 is what I booked.;))

 

Although, I daresay, my husband would be eternally grateful should I one day book the Sophia Suite. :D

Try this review of mine:- YC on Divina, E. Med, Oct 2012.

It contains images of 1 menu and the resulting dishes we selected from it

By far and away the most desirable YC1 suites. In the UK it's very difficult to get then for only 2 guests. They hold them for families

 

 

 

Well done for getting one!!!!

I do not see a transatlantic for 2016 on Divina. Where are you seeing that, Marcoigna?

I said the same thing when I went looking for it as well Kathiean. My TA found it for me, though it still isn't listed on MSC's website I don't think.

I heard that the Divina was staying in Miami after it comes back here in November...

[kathiean]

I just found it on the international site but not on the USA site...interesting!!!

Nope,,,Divina will only be sailing from Miami between November and April even when MSC Seaside arrives for year round Caribbean sailings from Miami.:(
