Best tips for a YC newbie.

If you order glasses of wine, they are included, but not bottles of wine. I'm debating speciality dining on Seaside....I'm curious to try it but we loved the food in Le Muse on Divina and didn't want to miss a meal there. I'm conflicted for Seaside...We're on the Christmas sailing and looking forward to see what special touches will be offered in the YC dining room. On the other hand, because it's so new, I'd be curious to try some of the new great restaurants onboard! Maybe for lunch...

 

 

Does anyone know if you go to a specialty dining restaurant, are we able to get yacht club included drinks there? I'm on the Seaside Jan 20th. And do we need specialty dining? Ocean Cay looks good, but Le Muse might be enough. Thanks!

Does the YC include the specialty coffee shop?

On Divina - yes! Speciality coffees and hot chocolates have an asterisk denoting premium package covers them. YC guests have the premium package included.

 

It's unlikely that YC will include the speciality coffee venue on Seaside going on experience on Meraviglia. MSC has introduced franchised venues where no packages will cover anything being served.

We've been spoiled with all inclusive! Is there a listing of what's included and what's not on Seaside? Would a cappuccino qualify as a speciality coffee, do you know, Bea? I would think it's basic enough they'd include it. I hope!

Cappuccinos, lattes, espressos, etc are covered in the basic drinks packages in the regular bars/lounges and YC TSL. However, there's a specialist coffee/hot chocolate menu in the cafés onboard MSC ships (before the new builds!) that are only included on premium packages. I'm pretty sure I have a photo in my phone of the menu from Magnifica last week. I'll have a look and post it if I have it.

 

The specialist coffee shop on Meraviglia is Jean Philippe and (I think) it'll be Vendi on Seaside. These are franchise operations and therefore outside of any packages.

Thank you so much! We can work with the basics. I love my cappuccino in the morning. :)

So......... here's the menu which shows the items with (premium) and without (basic) the asterisks - all of which YC guests get:

Unfortunately this menu wasn't available on Meraviglia because of the new franchise venue and, from what I've gleaned, the same applies on Seaside. I was very disappointed not to be able to get a special hot chocolate on Meraviglia. I love the cherry flavoured one and the mint is really nice with a shot of Bailey's added.
