Two Wheels Only

When doing that, some NCL Haven suites such as the aft-facing ones would also have to be called the same as the MSC Duplex lower bathroom. Another distinction could be made if a bathroom has a separate tub and shower in the same bathroom. For example, in the aft-facing Haven suites for the BA/BA Plus ships, 2 people can shower while a 3rd person takes a bath. In the MSC Duplex, only 2 people can shower or 1 person can shower while the other takes a bath....unless someone wants to take a bath in the hot-tub on the balcony. I now understand what you mean and why you use the term but it can be confusing for others who might believe that everyone in the suite has to go upstairs in order to shower. For people in other staterooms that only have a shower, I wouldn't say that they only have a half-bathroom.

The Duplex Suites have 2 full bathrooms. Downstairs has a shower, toilet, and sink while upstairs has a tub/shower, toilet, and sink.

I see San Benedetto water in some photos of mine but I know nothing about the source or the manufacturing process.

Based on reports, the whale was about 44ft long. Just based on length and to put it into perspective, it would take 24 of them lined up end to end in order to be longer than Meraviglia.

Whether 3 or 4 of the pinned threads are Yacht Club related, the Mods determine which threads get pinned, not the members. If the next 100 threads are all Bella related, those pinned threads would still be at the top of page 1. On the NCL forum, many of the threads are Haven related. There are probably more threads related to promos and service charges over there because that's what more people ask about. If more people started threads about other experience levels on the MSC forum, there would be a better balance.

One of the reasons for so many Yacht Club threads and questions is that the "ship-within-a-ship" concept is new to many people. Even people who are used to the concept (NCL Haven, for example) will ask questions to see how Yacht Club and Haven compare/contrast. As the "ship-within-a-ship" concept continues to grow with the RCCL Suite Neighborhood, the Celebrity Retreat, and the Princess Sanctuary, there will be others who will compare/contrast the concept with the MSC Yacht Club. In addition, the "experiences" of MSC lead to a lot of questions. The vast majority of guests on the ship are not in the Yacht Club nor are they Aurea guests. The vast majority of guests on the ship do not have Spa Access. The vast majority of guests on the ship aren't eating in the specialty restaurants. There are "regular folks" in every part of the ship with Bella, Fantastica, Aurea, or Yacht Club experience.

I just love how the article shows a cruise ship from a completely different cruise line. Imagine an article about a stolen Dodge Charger but the photo shows a Toyota Camry.

Yes, it is open during lunch hours.

They might not automatically give a bracelet to the 11 year-old. On my most recent cruise, MSC didn't give one to my youngest (10yo) which has never happened before. I just asked the concierge for one and he programmed one and gave it to her at no charge. For the OP, if not staying in the Yacht Club, the plan of buying bracelets and switching for stateroom access will work. However, if the child makes purchases with the parent's bracelet....😲

It's not always the same selection. Whatever happens to be there is..... there. Exchanging for something else that is in stock shouldn't be a problem. With it being so easy to get a drink at the various bars on the ship, you don't really think too much about what you have in the suite. It's just nice to have at your disposal.

Here's an example of what I had a few months ago. In addition, whatever is in the mini-fridge will also be replenished without charge. Just tell your butler what you want more or less of.

You tell your butler or a pool attendant which cabana/pergola that you want. The "reserved" sign will be placed on the table and it will show that it is "Reserved for Royal Suite 16***" (whichever one is yours). That will be yours for the remainder of the cruise. You will get several full-sized bottles that will be replaced or exchanged without charge. Take home whatever you want.

I know that it's not exactly the same but we've had multiple butlers across different ships offer to fill our hot-tub while we were still using the pool on the sundeck. That way, once we leave the sundeck, the kids can warm up in the hot-tub immediately after the "cold-air" walk to the suite. One parent can shower while the other hangs out on the balcony with the kids. Breakfast delivery and set-up are no problem in the Yacht Club. You can even hand-write requests if the doorknob sheet doesn't have what you want. Because there are 4 of us, it usually takes 2 people to bring in all of the food and set it up on the balcony. Lunch and dinner delivery aren't really done on MSC as easily as they are done in the Haven. Even if the suite is large enough, MSC doesn't like to deliver lunch or dinner from the Yacht Club restaurant or from any specialty restaurant. Room service (especially pizza delivery 🍕) is no problem, of course. The list of what the butler can do is longer than what most guests ask for. I give the edge for butler service to MSC over NCL. Both groups of butlers are highly trained but often the communication (or lack thereof) between the guests and the butler leads to different results of satisfaction. Some butlers suggest more services than others while some guests request more services than others.
