Yacht Club Connecting Rooms

[J0Y0US]

Am I correct in that the only connecting rooms are HA? Thats what it looks like on the deck plans but just checking. In NCL we would do something like the 2BR or 1BR suites in the Haven but doesnt look like that is an option on MSC. We would be cruising on a ship for 7+ days out of the US.

Depends on what ship you are looking at.

 

Divina has family/ executive suites on Deck 12. 12002 connects to 12004.

This is correct, Divina-era ships have 2 connecting YC suites and otherwise HA are the only options. Seaside class does have some YC rooms that sleep 5, if that helps.

Just to add: we are trying MSC for the first time with two cruises, one on the Seascape and one on her sister ship Seashore. We're trying a 2-bedroom Aurea suite for the first and a Royal Suite + a nanny/auntie/grandparent suite (not connecting) on the next, since the Royal Suite will not allow us to fit all 5 of us, so we've invited family along for another deluxe suite and we'll split our family up between the two suites.

 

I think the 2-bedroom will work better for our family, but we're trying both to see how it works. The hassle of not having connecting rooms seems worth it for us compared to the high prices of the NCL Haven (though I will say that some of the 3-bedroom NCL Haven suites are relatively inexpensive when traveling with a large group).

I saw some connecting balcony cabins on Meraviligia.

I had missed that: the Meraviglia class ships do have a couple of connecting YC rooms, looks like 14014-14016, 14015-14019, 16009-16011, and16024-16026

Has anyone ever had any luck booking these connecting YC rooms on the Meraviglia class ships using the MSC website? I've never seen these rooms available, which I assume means they're only bookable if calling or working thru a travel agent?

Yes, I have 16011 booked for the Mera 12/23/23 cruise.  I booked with 4 in the room...

[peder]

I think that's the trick. You need to book with 4 in the room, can't book with < 4. I'm guessing it's a no-no to add fake people to your booking so that you can get these rooms?
