All cruises on the UK site are priced in GBP.

I wouldn’t be familiar with how kids are treated so that’s interesting (and helpful if the OP decides to book YC). 👍

On closed UK sailings from Southampton the onboard currency is Sterling (GB pounds). Some sailings out of Southampton also have embarkation ports in Northern Europe; currency is then Euros onboard.

The butlers are not supposed to pack/unpack without someone in attendance because they leave themselves exposed to being accused of stealing should someone claim that valuables have gone missing.

No charge for bracelets in YC.

As an FYI - you must be in the cabin if you require a butler to unpack/pack for you. YC butlers also offer a shoe-shine service.

… and here it comes again. 🙄 This thread should be locked!

On Poesia (her sister ship) there was a separate area in the MDR - with better spaces between tables and service - for Aurea guests. It’s likely to be the same case on Magnifica as there’s no way that just one of the MDRs could accommodate non-Aurea guests.

Never had a problem getting doubles. In fact, some of the barmen seem to be only capable of pouring doubles. 🙈😆

Buon viaggio. Looking forward to reading about your experience onboard.

Would anyone have copies of Christmas Eve/Day, New Year’s Eve/Day menus? (It’s unfortunate that the time of year wasn’t included in the thread title).

What categories of cabins have people booked and what were they upgraded to?

Absolutely! We’ve done several YC sailings - many in Europe. It’s a whole other level. Having said that, we’ve done many non-YC cruises and have some fantastic memories of those, also, but YC gets us the luxury experience that we sometimes opt for, depending on budget and other bookings we may have in the pipeline.

If YC is within your budget, then go for it! You will have butler escort off the ship at the ports (which is a real plus as you skip the long queues of other pax exiting); that’s just one of the many benefits of YC. Bear in mind that there will be safety drills at each embarkation port on the itinerary; another good reason to book YC, so you can enjoy the enclave (private pool deck/private lounge - known as the Top Sail Lounge) while the rest of the ship shuts down to facilitate the muster drills.
