Currently on Divina Yacht Club

Don't have much time to answer any questions right now. But we are currently on the Divina in the yacht club midway through the cruise, can't wait to ride a very lengthy and detailed review about our experience. I will say this, there are many false and negative reviews about the yacht club. It is absolutely nothing less than fantastic and spectacular and anyone that has anything less to say then absolutely magical is either the type of person that can never be pleased no matter what type of vacation there on, or just ignorant and thinks that they should be treated more than royalty because in the yacht club it's not much short of that, more details to come when we get off. I just wanted to let future yacht club cruisers, do not listen to the negative reviews if somebody has anything bad to say it's because there is a very whiny and you probably reading reviews from people that you don't want to be friends with. For most normal people that enjoy luxury, You will appreciate this great time and it this is the only way to cruise. I have taken tons of videos and tons of pictures, so stay tuned!

Enjoy your cruise and looking forward to your detailed review.

I couldn't agree more about the YC. We were on the Divina in 2015 in the YC, and I truly thought we were royalty by the way we were treated.

FYI Sorry for all the grammar errors, I try to type fast to save on internet time.

No worries on the grammar! I do the same thing on vacation because I'm in a hurry to get back to the fun. What I started doing lately is typing my posts (Facebook, CruiseCritic reviews, etc) in a Word doc first, then just get online to cut and paste into Facebook what have you, then get off. That helps me go back and re-read the post and fix errors that I've made. I usually have to read it three or four times before I correct all my grammar errors. LOL!

Have fun and I can't wait to read your review and see the pics when you guys get back! We sail in 44 days!

Can't wait for the full review ! Enjoy the rest of your trip !

Have a wonderful day in the Bahamas tomorrow and thanks for your honesty.

I often wonder if the negatives come from other lines HQ's.

Can't wait to get onboard in September [emoji3]

Sorry, double post.

Look forward to your review. YC is a wonderful experience.

YC is indeed amazing. For us it was the first cruise ever and we had a wonderful experience. Before that, I couldn't imagine I would like cruising so much but now we have 2 more cruises booked with MSC for this year but only one in YC because for one of the itineraries, the vessel is smaller and doesn't have YC. So we have chosen AUREA...

We were treated very very nice in YC and our butler was great!! In fact, everyone there was very nice, polite and willing to make our vacation unforgettable. We cannot wait to sail again in summer and then for NEw Year's Eve in YC again ❤️❤️❤️

Looking forward to it.

Tomorrow is our last day on this gorgeous ship. As stated, my review is to follow after we get home on Saturday. But in the meantime if there is any small questions you have that I can answer while on board I'd be happy to get to as many as I can until I run out of internet package.What I can't get to answer now I will be sure to answer on Saturday.

Unfortunately, back to the real world for us in a few days. Wish we could just stay on for the next couple weeks!!

Do you know if MSC offers any incentives to book a future cruise while on board ?

And if you visited the casino, can you share any tips or information ? TIA

Yes, they offered a $200 on board credit with only a $50 deposit if you booked on board for the YC.

Yes, we play the Casion every night, we love 3 card poker and usually played $200- $250 worth a night together (wife and I). So they do have a point system you can redeem free gifts and perks but I think it's terrible for Table games. Collectively, we have won and lost throughout the cruise but definitely lost more then we won. Our goal was 1250 points so we could qualify for the 30% future cruise discount that you can stack on top of your 5% Voyager discount and the mentioned onboard credit. With slots I believe it's possible to do this , but I have spent well over $1000 between my wife and I and as of today only have 880 points. Not favorable for table games. The slots have a formula for money spent/points earned, table game points are decided by the pit boss who walks table to table adding points to players on a IPad depending on length of playing time and original money cashed in. We haven't met anyone yet in the casino that has qualified on just table games. But again many people do if you can sit and play slots long enough.

Thanks for the info. Not much that I can think of other than how much is the pay pizza place and can you possibly take a pic of the menu to post after you get home.

Thanks.

You are so right about the YC. We have been in the Divina YC three times now and they were the three best experiences we have had among our 23 cruises. We have the Seaside booked for January 2018 and can't wait.

Were all drinks available ship-wide? Or were the red stars excluded outside YC?

I've read a couple of recent threads from some YC cruisers who have confirmed that drinks are included for all YC passengers throughout the ship.

Thanks.

All the pizza from the Eataly restaurant is free of charge when you order through room service after 6:00 PM. Best Pizza at Sea.

I did take a picture of the menu as soon as I can get to my computer tomorrow I'll upload it

All the drinks offered on Yacht Club menus up stairs are free everywhere. I was extremely surprised at what a huge selection we have in YC. I took pics of Drink menu for YC will post tomorrow while I'm bored at the airport.
