cshim Posted June 18, 2017 #51 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks Bea. It looks like a good selection although it seems the only hot food is pizza. Chablis on the wine menu. I am now very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted June 18, 2017 Author #52 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Pingus - we've had a little difficulty with booking which I will expand on in a later post. My impression is that YC doesn't get priority. I hope to get a more definitive answer in the next day or so.

AlanDoheny Posted June 18, 2017 #53 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We are also on board now, balcony cabin Fantastica class. Flexi dining is no longer available, we were informed today. While it didn't impact us as we eat early, it appears it was a disaster, ques for the restaurants at circa 8:00 / 8:30 were comical the first night.

Rare Beamafar Posted June 18, 2017 Author #54 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Folks - I've looked back thru' the thread and taken note of outstanding questions. It'll be tomorrow evening before I'll get to post again (I think). We have an exciting evening ahead which I will explain about later in the thread. It's DH's birthday and we've received a special invite to A Cirque preview of Sonor show from the hotel director, (though not because of the occasion) so I'm off to get ready. Alan ........... not surprised to hear about that! Stay tuned...... Sent from my SM-G935F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikki21 Posted June 18, 2017 #55 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Nikki - just seen this. We stayed in Europark Friday night. Beautiful hotel thought it was only newly refurbished. Was told it was done 5 years ago! We got a great price too on booking dot com Sent from my SM-G935F using Forums mobile app Ha brilliant! Yes I also got a good deal for that hotel but through secret escapes or similar website. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikki21 Posted June 18, 2017 #56 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yacht Club food certainly looks nice! Please can you get pics of the normal bar menu when you can tear yourself away from YC! [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted June 18, 2017 Author #57 Share Posted June 18, 2017 So I have a few minutes while we wait for the show to start to share a couple more random observations. We were able to walk into YC from elevator on deck 14 today. We were so surprised that we took the stairs up to deck 16 just to check if we had really accessed the enclave without clearance from our cards or wristbands. Sure enough, we arrived at the concierge desk 2 flights up. There is still some misinformation floating around. e.g. On our first day the barman in Brass Anchor couldn't confirm if the food was included for YC guests unless we ordered so he could swipe our card and see if the system charged our account. Next day we were in Jean Pierre cafe and saw the asst bar manager who we know well. We asked him about this. He went off with my card, came back and said Yes you have to pay We decided to have fish & chips there anyway when we were told No YC DO NOT PAY (Sorry for caps autocorrect ) Interruption as show is starting. Will continue later! Sent from my SM-G935F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbarianPaul Posted June 18, 2017 #63 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Some of the ship's spaces look beautiful, but for me, the explosion of shiny chrome with the sparkly glass stairs in the atrium is kind of overpowering, and not in a good way.

Rare Beamafar Posted June 19, 2017 Author #74 Share Posted June 19, 2017 This post is for Kikki and others who are interested in the Aurea Spa which is forward on deck 7. There is no private elevator from YC directly to the Spa area, though you can use your card/wristband in the lifts just outside for priority service. The Spa itself comprises of changing rooms for men and women with lockers and showers - 22 massage rooms, 20 therapy rooms, 2 saunas - one hotter than the other, 2 sensory steam rooms - 1 dark, 1 bright, 2 Mediterranean baths (dry air with showers inside) again sensory 1 light 1 dark, a jacuzzi for legs and feet only and a jacuzzi comprising 6 'beds' - 3 either end, 3 heated loungers, 2 relaxation rooms and a Paradise shower. This is a rectangular glass cubicle with 4 shower heads in a row. There is an entrance at one end and you exit at the other. When you enter, the first shower emits cold water. You then advance to the next which is hot. The third is cold but not as cold as the first and the last is hot but not as hot as the second. I was told by someone who used it that by the time you reach the last shower you will want to experience a hotter shower than you get! I haven't used it so can't comment. What I can say is that the Spa area is amazing - to me anyway. As I'm not a Spa person I don't have a baseline to compare it with. There are 4 types of approach used - 'Relax', 'Purify', 'Excite' and 'Tonic'. Each one has a colour code and you get a coloured stick for the experience you choose which has symbols on. These correspond with signs outside the various rooms and the time you should spend there as well as some other symbols with meanings which I didn't go into with the girl who gave me the tour. There was just too much to take in - I haven't used the Spa yet so haven't any new information apart from what I've posted here.
