MSC MERAVIGLIA and Yacht Club

[kaz828]

We are looking at a cruise for end of Nov to Bermuda. We know it can be chilly then in Bermuda, does this ship have any indoor pools, maybe adult only areas? 

If we booked a Yacht Club cabin, what is not included? Is it worth it to book that over a suite w/ jacuzzi ? We are just a couple travelling.

The Bamboo Pool has a retractable roof for when the weather isn't great. It does get a bit humid in there when the roof is closed but it's fine. 

 

 

 

Yacht Club inclusions are HERE

 

On Meraviglia, you have the option of the Yacht Club Royal Suite and the Yacht Club Duplex Suite which both give Yacht Club access and a hot tub on the balcony.

Only the Bamboo is enclosed.

Bamboo is open to the whole ship.  We've seen it packed to empty over six sailings.  Roof usually closed or just barely opened.  Nice area.

Also, there's a door out to the Bamboo area right from basically the YC hall (at least on starboard side, maybe port too). still secured for YC only. 

 

Although not indoor or fully covered, YC pool area is sheltered.

On all of our most recent sailings it has been PACKED... to the point where attendants were trying to thin out the crowds of 20+ in the hot tubs

Plenty of video documentaries online. Massive groups of 20/30 people in hot tubs.  🤷🏼‍♀️

Duplex

 

 

Most of the reviews that are on YouTube are from when the Duplexes were Aurea. The stateroom is the same but the videos might not mention the Yacht Club.

 

[leeb331]

Yes I see that.  Do you know when they switched the duplex to YC?

I think it was early 2020. We were booked in an Aurea Duplex for a cruise departing CPH to NY 9/2020 on deck 12. Then found out those on deck 12 were to become YC. We were thrilled until the cruise was cancelled because of covid.

9 or 12?  We were on 12 in February.  You can escape room from Batcave on 13.

[leeb331]

12.   Batcave? is this in reference to elevator or is there a certain area that we can go to on the 13 to get us to the YC pool, restaurant area

[dexddd]

In the closet on the upper floor is a door to exit onto 13.  Then quick zip up to YC.  We usually just did stairs to 15.  There are elevators but normal ones that do allow override to YC, not like the YC proper exclusive ones though.m
