Sent from my SM-G928T using Forums mobile app On my sailing on Divina there were two lifts which gave priority to the YC. you had to insert your card into a slot and then your choice overrides any other passenger (non YC) button press. Your butler with show you how it works. the slot for your card and with a card in place Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxHadleyxx Posted September 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2016 On Splendida last week there was one eleveator lable "priority service yacht club" which could only be called by putting in your YC card---but people ignored what it said (or did not understand--seemed about 50/50) and got on too and it stopped everywhere. You had to put in your card to get it to go to level 15 or 16 (YC only) but if someone pushed a button after you did it cancelled YOUR button out to and went to whereever they pushed and often then directly back down--it was actually harder to get an elevator to YC than any other place in the ship--a few of us commented on that while waiting and waiting and going back down together---would have been so much nicer to have just normal service. Mocktails--yes, there were serveal in the YC. Mojito zeros were me favourite. My son prefered those and the forzen strawberry daquari zeros. No reserved seating in the theatre on Splendida.

This is the most comprehensive explanation of the Yacht Club lift situation I've seen, so thank you for that! I suspect that we, like you, will find the YC lift a bit awkward and not actually the benefit it's supposed to be. A shame if a 'normal' lift would be more efficient though!

We found the easiest way to get to our room or the lounge was to take a normal lift to level 14 and walk up the last flight or two. Better for the waistline as well ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolnLarry Posted September 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The butler will escort you off the gangway for excursions.. The butler also will escort you to the gangway on debarkation. He also will escort you any where on the ship if you want him to take you. Tell the butler or the conceirge what you want and it will happen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving the Casino, we approached the elevators as a group entered, waiting for it to leave before requesting ours. Yacht Club card in slot and press the UP button, and the elevator that had just left and gone up two floors stopped and came back to get us. When the door opened, those inside were confused. Hit 15 and we took off. As we bypassed each floor that had been selected, the display said Blocked or Locked (don't remember) and it took us non-stop back to the Yacht Club. Others were now even more confused. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 19, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) It was even more embarrassing when they used to have the announcement "This elevator is needed for an emergency" and requested people to leave the elevator when you used the YC card in the slot! It seems it was the same over-ride system that was used for emergency situations LOL Edited September 19, 2016 by Beamafar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolnLarry Posted September 20, 2016 #15 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Our express card did not work if there were other people in the elevator and they had already pressed their floor. When others got in with us and they were not going to 15 they were confused but never said anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruisergal1208 Posted September 20, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nope still must have YC card to access the YC areas. They can get off on 15 and go to the outside deck from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 20, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Then all those people can get off and walk around the YC, right? No .............. there is an entrance door to YC on either side as you exit the elevator which can only be opened by using your YC cruise card.

Capricruiser Posted September 21, 2016 #25 Share Posted September 21, 2016 On our last cruise we got two MSC baseball caps (May on the Opera). Tote bags from our Divina and Preziosa cruises. However I still miss the two bottles of Moet Chandon - they can keep the chocolate ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
