If you have either, please give my love to them both. Such wonderful gentlemen! Warmest Amy We have Glen. But one of the things I’ve noticed (and really appreciate) is that everyone seems eager to pitch in regardless of which passengers they’ve been assigned. I will certainly give them your regards should we cross paths! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It would give me a chance to repeat my reply to a broader audience). Might as well add RCCL to the list. That is why cruising has so many types of ships. If exotic destinations are ones 'wish list' like Antarctica or the Society Islands, then smaller ships are the only way to go. If "dancing" is a priority a good travel agent could research which ships and theme cruises would satisfy ones desire. I recall dancing every evening on NCL Breakaway in their 'Manhattan Supper Club'. One just has to make up ones own list'. Here is our list for those that might have missed it, that Yacht Club has all of them. Never sailed on a MSC ship in a cabin outside the Yacht Club. But we can list now all the things to look out for when booking any cruise ship. #1 E muster drill is better #2 Two cabin cleanings per day #3 No % charge for gambling if using credit card #4 No extra charge for can sodas vs fountain drinks #5 Reserved seating in the theatre for all shows #6 Complimentary bottled water #7 Reserved or ability to reserve pergola/cabanas on pool deck #8 'Cushioned' pool lounges #9 Escorts on and off ship avoiding long lines #10 First to use tenders off the ship at ports that tender #11 Dedicated restaurant that is so good one need not book Specialty Restaurants #12 Service that does not involve 2 hours to complete a meal #13 An attentive butler not hard to find when needed #14 Cabins ready upon embarkation/ key cards in hand at checkin #15 Dedicated restaurant OPEN port days #16 Dedicated buffet to only suite guests #17 Dedicated pool and sun deck only for suite guests with ample lounges # 18 All the advantages of a mega ship with the exclusivity of a gated community #19 walk-in shower not low profile tub/shower combo #20 No non-suite paying Pinnacle/Zenith/Diamond passengers taking up prime real estate in the Yacht Club #21 Elevator over-ride key cards for suite guests #22 Pristine out island with NO bugs crawling all over cabanas #23 short distance between cabin and restaurant decks #24 At least a 100 sq ft balcony accommodating a cushioned lounge chair I want to add that while in the YC, you do not need to present you ship card / YC wristband when ordering drinks. Also, I have never seen our butler as much as I saw him on our most recent sailing in May 2023. The same cannot be said for the 4 Haven sailings that I have taken. I would highly suggest that if you're considering sailing in the YC, you do so sooner rather than later. It is only a matter of time before MSC's prices catch-up to the amazing product that they offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsTabbyKats Posted August 10, 2023 #29 Share Posted August 10, 2023 @morpheusofthesea I'm not sure if this is a Mera thing, or I missed it on your list: There was a dedicated elevator within the YC...servicing only the YC. It got us to the pool deck witin seconds! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got us to the pool deck witin seconds! Yes, there is one elevator in the YC that only caters to YC. And this elevator does not react to key card overrides as one can not override the request of another YC guest. My list is for main elevator over riding key cards for YC guests to go from deck 4 to deck 19. But thank you for noticing. And this perk is missing on the Seascape.
