In addition to the YC dining room, breakfast and lunch available daily on the YC pool deck. Our last cruise was in 2021 on Meraviglia in the Yacht Club. In all our years of cruising, I don't think we ever spent as much time outdoors as we did that week on Meraviglia. We loved that area.

Just to caveat, not all drinks in mini-bar are included. Soft drinks and beer are, spirits and wine paid for. You will be offered a bottle of wine, champagne or spirit at the start which you can use in cabin. It's one bottle per cabin, rather than per person. First round of snacks are included, rest you need to pay for. However, snacks available in the car throughout the day, so you have easy access if needed.

Figured it was a typo but I questioned it because I was on an RCl ship, (Allure, I think) that had a VW van turned hotdog stand and was thinking maybe there was something similar on Meraviglia that was offering snacks.

 

Sadly, my car snacks are pretty meager...I much prefer those on board!

What typo?!?

I thought all of us Yacht Clubbers brought cars along on Bermuda stay-overs, and the like.


(We have the butler discreetly arrange the car snacks for later consumption.)

I always check my roadster at the YC tent.

Incorrect; ALL drinks in the mini bar are included.  If you are in YC anything in there to drink is included (the snacks are, indeed, one and done in the mini bar)

That wasn't the case in Feb when I was on Virtuosa. There were a couple of wine in the fridge and my butler said there was a charge. I was next to the YC lounge bar so had no issue going to get an alcoholic top up when required.

Hum.. never seen that before in YC.  Thank you for the info.

I liked the snacks up on the YC pool deck on Mera that appeared at 4pm, a good chance to get some veggies. 🙂

Quick question is the internet provided with YC booking 2 devices per person?

Yes, I just returned from Meraviglia solo and had two devices. Don't bother upgrading - I did and it made no difference in what I wanted to do and they would not refund me. Save the $70!
