As per my concierge there are no more Canada cruises. So disappointing as that is one of our favorites.

Since we are in the Yacht Club, embarkation times really don’t matter. On the website it states embarkation time, not check in time. We usually get on as soon as we get there around 11ish, never really had to wait.

We were given 1:00 embarkation time on our Aug cruise.

Yes all taken care of thanks.

What if you need Kosher wine? Trying to find out what they carry (if any) on board. Form sent to Special Needs but no response. Traveling with friends who require Kosher.

We not only extra tip butlers but also concierge, waiters, maitre'd, sommelier, jr butlers and any lounge butlers that serve us. I rather give my money to the hard working staff than to the casino. Just my opinion.

If you booked before Oct 2, 2023 you can inform GS to reduce the rate to 14. Under 12 is half price.

Had Pure Life on Meraviglia.

We never had any.

It was Maria. Hugh is rumored to be coming back.

In YC restaurant it was Danzante and can’t remember which one in the lounge but it was in a brown bottle. We didn't see the bottle at Hola.

We realize how hard they work every day for every cabin they have to maintain and choose not to burden them with simple things we can do. Really, run a bath? Wow.

We had a very nice Pinot Grigio in Hola and every day in the YC.

Vaindioux, are you just asking about tipping for room service? We always give a few $ to the one who delivers the food.

We have a CC we have been using for years. We only book YC and he always calls me when I send an email. Too bad we are not allowed to mention it here. I would request on the bottom of their webpage asking for someone to call you. You might get someone else who is willing to help you.

Just off Meraviglia and every day at the YC One Pool buffet we were able to get made to order omelettes. Not a fan of their early restaurant hours for breakfast.

Arthur is Maitre’D, Maria is YC Director, Raj is head concierge, Chef Lisa, Gusti is Head Butler.

Does anyone know if they have Kosher wine in the YC? Thanks.

MOTS, are there two Chef Lisa’s? Heard there is a Chef Lisa on the Meraviglia who took Chef Ajay’s place and we are boarding tomorrow.

We grew up the same, sharing lollipops with the dogs, having them lick the wounds and also being told everyone needed to eat a pound of dirt in their lifetime to be healthy. Never sick a day in my life as a kid. Cousins who were so protected about germs, sick every week. Hmmm

If you leave it out the night before it will be transferred to the YC section in the arrival hall which is closest to the customs scans.

Arthur said he’s there until September. He is such a fun character who likes interacting with the guests. Loved Rudy but also heard that he might be back when we get on in two weeks.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Will post if he’s there. I haven’t met Chef Lisa yet but someone said she’s definitely on. Didn’t meet Aron personally because our waiters know what we like to drink. Yes, Hugh left and the new YC Director name is Maria. I was told she is on her 2nd contract with MSC.

We recently got off the Meraviglia 2/18 and Chef Ajay told us he was leaving and Arthur mentioned that Chef Lisa was joining in his place. We are on in about two weeks and will check.

When we do receive their surveys which is very rare, maybe 2 out of 9 so far, I always ask that they don’t turn into another NCL who probably started it. It’s the same and after many Haven bookings we left when we found YC MSC and never looked backed. Although, in my opinion, there is no comparison between the two, I will only sail MSC for now ex NY since I don’t like flying. I will do the same if we receive our survey as you say they read them and hopefully this makes a difference. Sailing in two weeks. Thanks Morpheus. BTW, truly enjoy all of your posts and observations.
