I once booked the Aurea with Whirlpool and got upgraded for FREE to the YC duplex suite... If you go to a "sunny" itinerary I would go with the Aurea to have a private jakuzzi. YC amenities are really nice also of course and lovely. Aurea guests have their own sundeck, reserved for them.

We also got the counter offer for our sailing in Norther Europe. From Aurea to YC Deluxe, the upgrade was 1400 EUR. (Originally we payed 2000 EUR). But we will also be 2 adults, with 2 kids (16,12). I would do it, if I were you and can afford it. Last year we were upgraded WITHOUT paying from Aurea Whirlpool suite to the YC Duplex suites... That was amazing!

We will be on the cruise together for 2 days. We disembark after Southampton in Hamburg. Ususally one gala and one Mediterranean night. I never took any drinks on board (as I don't drink alcohol.)

It doesn't sound too good in my opinion either. Too high price. (I was lucky to be upgraded to YC duplex with Jacuzzi for free. 2 adults+10 and 15 year old kids) For our original cabin we payed 2400 EUR with everything.(Drink packages included.)

Thats me who has been bumped up to Yacht Club. Still feeling lucky.

I agree with you. I’m more than happy with this upgrade. Especially if it stays like that.

Thank you! I assume that if I booked a suite with jacuzzi, they wouldn’t put me to even a simple YC balcony… at least I hope. Anyhow fingers crossed. I am really excited. Especially as I told my wife and kids that this year for saving money I only booked an interior cabin… I want to see their faces! Even more if a butler takes us to our duplex suite…

Thank you! Let’s hope for the best!

Even if the paid ambience is only Aurea? So we get all the benefits?

With the changing of ships from Virtuosa to Bellissima for a February mediterranean cruise, today the cabin assignment on the booking switched to the YC Duplex suite on deck 9. Originally I booked the Aurea Whirlpool suite on deck 13. We will be 2 adults and 2 teenagers. What can we expect in terms of YC perks or amenities? Special boarding? Drink package (we already had Easy package in the promotion)? Butler service? Eating in YC restaurants and being at the YC areas? It's exciting, though I guess it can change still back to another cabin. (Although I would be disappointed...) Thank you for your help!
