dexddd Posted November 20, 2018 #52 Share Posted November 20, 2018 After days reading, why not just make PP what it is and include crepes and gelato. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information from your TA is different from MSC website (see thread page 1 answer #24 from rattla). Premium Plus (+) is included in Yacht Club.

sverigecruiser Posted November 20, 2018 #59 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have sent an e-mail to MSC in Sweden and asked which package is included for YC. I report what they say when, or if, I get an answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am much more inclined to believe what is shown in post #24 as being the up-to-date position. For me, the TA post #53 is because they are showing outdated information. YC will receive P+, with no limit on drink price and includes minibar. The one downside does appear to be for gelato lovers, inasmuch as gelato now needs to be paid for!

bumper31 Posted November 20, 2018 #63 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just off the Seaside, I ordered a Chocolate Martini at the Venchi Chocolate bar and was charged. The server was as surprised as I was and was insistent it was a mistake. I spoke to the YC concierge and she said she was getting additional reports of charges, and so she had sent an email to HO. They didn't get back to me directly, but I managed to get the charge reversed. The next day there was a sign saying additional charges at Venchi apply So it seems the staff on the ship can't keep track of the changes. As we were charged, I didn't chance my arm with Crepes, but I have second hand experience on the gelato still being included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting the bar staff and concierge cannot even keep track of whats going on aboard their ship. I'll be traveling for our first MSC cruise on Seaside, in YC in Jan. I am utterly confused about what to expect to the point I will turn up and see for myself! More importantly...how was your cruise? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that people get/find different answers to the question about what's included. I'm interested to hear what MSC in Sweden tell me!
