    Very nice summary of the room. I'll admit to being rather fixated on the roominess of notoriously small spaces, and also the height of the ceilings and the shower stall - but that's a different conversation. Anyway, your videos address so many of the questions I would have about MSC Yacht Club, and I'm very grateful. Looks like it was a fabulous time. Thank you so much!

    We step up in just three days in Brooklyn, it's our second Cruise on Meraviglia (2018 Iceland). We're very excited because it's our first Cruise outside Europe and our first travel to the U.S.

      It’d be interesting to hear if you see a little bit of difference between European cruising and US cruising. Although there are many European travelers on MSC, out of Brooklyn there will be lots and lots of Americans too.
      Have a wonderful holiday! 🥳😀🥳

      Hey, we´re back in Germany from Meraviglia. Our Cruise unfortunately was not so good because of Problems with the Cabin (Smell and other things i won´t mention here). We managed that they did change the Cabin on Day 5 to us, but before that it was not the Expirience that we expected - to say it nice and friendly. This was our 12th Cruise on MSC within the YC, so we know pretty well, what we gonna get to expect.
      The Staff was mostly amazing - unfortunately our first Butler was not. The second one - Anthony with his Compagnion Rocky - was as great as we know it from YC. Our Waiter in the Restaurant John from the Phillipines was one of the best ones we ever had - including his junior Ring, a nice little woman from India, her real name was instabokable for us.... John is by the way the Husband of Patricia, that appeard in your Vlog "Beginners Guide to the YC". He left for Vacation with us heading to Phillipines, his wife is leaving after ending the actual cruise.....
      The YC-Director showed up NEVER in his Establissment, he came to us only by request to try to solve our serious Problems. It was his first turn on Meraviglia, he was from Britain, he was nice and polite, but at the end we´ve seen him once again and then never again. On European Cruises this won´t happen, YC-Director is all around every Day.
      The Dining times are shorter in the US than in Europe. In the US the Lunch is half an hour shorter, the Diningtime is shortend a full hour. They told us, the Americans are eating faster to get the Shows so there is no need for longer opening times. But thats not the truth, the restaurant was packed full every time on each single Evening. The Concept of anytime Dining was not fullfilled, on the second evening we had to wait almost an hour to be seated, we were told to wait in the Lounge until they escorted us to the restaurant. So we´d complained, because anytime dining is crucial for us. So on day 3 and all following we get the same table at any time we want it - that was great, but otherwise it is a perk that they use for advertising - so it was THEYRE promise that was broken.
      The Em-/Disembarkation was not organized well, it was chaotic, at disembarkation it was simply a mess. Thousands of thousands people yelling at each others, completly ovewhelmed stuff, rough ppls, loud, dirty..... this is way smoother in Europe, even in Italy, where Chaos is some kind of normal.
      After all we decided, that we wont cruise again from NYC, and we stay away from Meraviglia. That´s a pitty for us, because it was our first MSC Ship, but the expirience was outmost not like we expected.
      Now we´re looking forward on our christmas adventure hunting Aurora on Iceland - without Cruiseship ;)
      At the End: Keep on with your VLOGs we appreciate the Videos very much because of your sense of humor and we share the same reasons to Cruise - life is to short and precious to stay at home, making own expiriences and rememberances is the best thing you can do with your time.
      Many Greetings to you from Elke & Stephan from germany 🤗

    Hey guys, I just want to tell you that we loved your Meraviglia series.From start to finish. We felt like we were on vacation with you two and having a blast! We sailed Meraviglia last October, a 10 night Bahamas Mexico itinerary in genpop. Nice but missing something.
    Your story is very well told through really excellent content with beautiful images, great music, and two adorable hosts. After watching a few chapters last week, (loved shot crawl) we decided to book a deluxe balcony on deck 15 aft. The next day we received the email to bid on a Yacht interior, or YC1 balcony suite. We bid, we took the balcony suite on deck 15 forward and we leave in 3 weeks.
    We have sailed often the past 40 years We sailed NCL Escape in a Haven suites and enjoyed it. Yacht Club looks even better. Can't wait.
    We appreciate the time and effort that went into the making this film and your recommendations and explanations of the Yacht club experience made me want to experience it for ourselves.
    Thanks

      And the bid system just makes it even better, in our opinion… kind of like “luck” smiled upon you and rewarded you with an extra-special holiday! 😊

    Hi, new to the channel but have really appreciated all the advice. I am in the process of booking the yacht club duplex suite for my 60th birthday next year for me , the wife and our two kids. I sometimes wonder if I should book a ‘normal’ balcony cabin and then hopefully get the upgrade email to bid high on a duplex. Bit of a gamble but potential big savings!! Cruise is for early July next year.. any advice gratefully received…❤ well done both, keep up the great work.

    • @Taste-Try-Travel
      @Taste-Try-Travel  11 місяців тому

      First off, thank you… and welcome!!!
      That is a tricky decision. Here’s probably our best advice…
      If you are willing to “settle” on a regular balcony, then it is absolutely worth the risk. You could bid kind of high, and if they have it available, you have a good chance of winning.
      BUT, there’s always the chance that they have few(or none) of the Yacht Club upgrades available… and that would mean your chances of winning would be small.
      So… that would be the choice… are you okay with the normal balcony if things don’t go as planned… if yes, do it. If no, better to spend the money and be happy and content with your choice and have a wonderful birthday holiday.
      Hope that helps a little! 😊😀😊

    On the streaming wi-fi, is it to devices per room, or two per person? I'm booked in YC for this week (first time) and it's not clear from the website or the paperwork. And with no shower door, does it make for a wet bathroom? Seems like water would be everywhere.

    • @Taste-Try-Travel
      @Taste-Try-Travel  Рік тому +1

      The WiFi is two devices per sign-in.
      The shower is so large that no water escapes. (It’s about 7-8 feet long) Plus, the rain shower-head points down, so that kind of helps with not a lot of extra splashing.

    Tipping suggestions on yacht club?

    • @Taste-Try-Travel
      @Taste-Try-Travel  Рік тому

      Tipping is so personal, it’s really up to the individual… if you’ve prepaid your gratuities then, technically, that’s all you need to do.
      Extra tipping is not expected at all.
      But, if you do want to tip extra, we saw folks tip a couple US dollars each time they got a service… we, however, like to tip at the end of the cruise. We make a note of who we want to tip extra and will give it to them at the end. Around $5-$7US per day for those extra tips from us.
      But again, that’s something each passenger/group should decide on their own…
      Hope that helps a little. 😊🤩😊
