Not sure about the top 2 YC categories as we've only sailed in YC1 and YC9 cabins (def recommend a YC9 if you can get them...about 3-4ft wider room). So, I'll speak from our experience if Morpheus doesn't mind me going off topic on his thread? Actually, you've motivated me to just start another thread on this topic, so keep watching the forum board!

As others have posted, everything except shore excursions are included for the YC. For lunch, I ordered 2 lobster rolls and the salad. When they arrived, I dumped the lobster on top of the salad and ate away, discarded the rest! FWIW, we rented a oceanview Cabana since the "oceanfront" cabanas were all booked...I put in "" since the oceanfront cabanas are actually located on the tree line, behind all the YC chairs and umbrellas. Based off posters on this forum, I spoke to the YC Concierge (luv them!!) and requested Cabana #7 which is the closest to the Ocean House. On the negative, it was missing the 2 sitting chairs and did not have a ceiling fan like the other Cabanas. However, on the positive (and there are many in the YC!) side, the waitress was always around and quick with drinks (sailed with our 2 23 & 24 year-old "boys")...which were frequently requested! 🙂 For our Nov Meraviglia cruise, will spend the extra $50 to get an ocean-not-oceanfront Cabana to have more direct route to the water. Highly recommend wearing water shoes. And to answer the question floating in the room, it was $400 for our oceanview Cabana for the day and $450 for an oceanfront Cabana. We found it worth every nickle as DW is a shade lover, and DS2 gets overheated.

I concur with Morpheus on being in the YC...not going back! For the price point, we just find it the best value-to-service at sea. I will add that we do sail on 30% discount Casino rates + 5% Voyagers Club stacked on top, so that attests to MSC's Casino Dept service, too! I am negligent in posting my cruise report from the Seashore YC back on the April 9th sailing...it's on my Summer break (I'm a teacher) to-do list, though. But your day-by-day reporting makes me feel like I'm already back on the ship...thank you so much! Working on Meravigilia for Nov out of Port Canaveral 🙂

We sailed Seashore back in April for Spring Break and was told approx 3,500 onboard. The first week of June may be lower as not all schools (in the US) are out for the Summer, yet. She's a wonderful ship!

Same here, they put the envelopes on our beds.
