hunter68 Posted May 14, 2023 #26 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I see a lot of people in an inside or balcony cabin. I booked the duplex suite with whirlpool and thoughts on this cabin? Not much on YouTube either. I am on deck 12 of the Meraviglia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later, they were upgraded to Yacht Club. The early reviews were from when it was Aurea. If you search YouTube with Meraviglia Duplex Aurea, you'll see many reviews of the staterooms.

You don't even need to bring allot of those little dishes. Just ask the servers for a bowl to take back and they will give you anything there. They had a great turkey wrap, I just asked for a whole one. They also has great candied Mango, again I was given a huge bowl to take. We actually would take them as a snack on excursions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Joiseymom Posted May 15, 2023 #40 Share Posted May 15, 2023 There is absolutely no consistency with MSC. It is driving nuts. I just plan on asking my butler.. SMH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 12007 We enjoyed it but wouldn't book that room again - the hot tub did not heat properly so we used it once or twice but not how we'd imagined it, because of the location (bow) there was a lot of wind, which did not help. I will say though overall the then perks of Aurea were pretty great. here is a link to my review with pictures https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=679753 While the room was nice, we decided to upgrade and try YC for our next cruise. Good Luck! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talljules1 Posted May 22, 2023 #50 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) We've only done one cruise on MSC YC, but have another coming up soon - in a YC Duplex on Virtuosa. We most often sail with Celebrity. For the purpose of this post, I am going to equate a YC Duplex with a Celebrity Royal Suite (both the second most expensive rooms on the ship (if you consider Celebrity M and S class ships and both have a similar size and a hot tub on the balcony). Not included with MSC: Specialty dining (we'd get this included with equivalent suite on Celebrity - but price much lower on MSC so no harm, no foul. Have booked a 2 night specialty dining package and we will doubtless head to a couple of others a la carte.) Laundry (we'd get this for our loyalty level with Celebrity and it would also come with a Royal suite. Again, price difference, no harm, no foul - have booked a laundry package) 2 bottles of spirits with the minibar (but we never drink them on board, 1 will be fine) Free movies in room. (All movies are free on TV in room on Celebrity but I gather that's not the case on MSC) Included with both Retreat/YC sundeck, lounge and dining room Butler Pillow menu Unpacking/packing Shoeshine Free room service (we will put in a standing order for night time charcuterie and cheese plates - like to have something to nibble on at the end of the day) Snacks in the lounge Included with MSC, not with Celebrity Daily newspaper 1st go at snacks in the minibar (there are no mini bar snacks in a RS on Celebrity) Two full bathrooms (a RS on Celebrity Silhouette has a bathroom and a half bath) Spa access (only included in Aqua suites on Celebrity) All of the suites in one area (well, actually, except ours! - but this is no deal breaker for us as we are used to having to roam the ship for the Retreat areas on Celebrity) Cost of our MSC cruise is WAY less (probably about 50% less) than the cost of 2 weeks in a RS on Celebrity, so even though there are some things not included, we will still be up on the deal. And it has an amazing itinerary. We just would not cruise with MSC outside the YC, but in the YC it is great.
