HI there, we were just on the Divina last December for a Christmas cruise. The YC was a new experience for us and very lack luster on the Divina. The lounge would get way to hot to sit near the windows if you were facing the sun. I am a very fair person and not at any time could I sit out near the pool or on the deck at all if not under the shades by the poor bar or buffet. which was very disappointing. The walk to the YC dining was not an issue but we had to go down the elevator, across the ship and back up again. The YC lounge staff was good, the wait staff in the YC dining area were excellent. The YC dining area was old, picture 1980's gold Grecian theme, out dated and very dark, dingy and just not up to what an "exclusive" dining room would be. I am used to the Celebrity Aqua Class dining and this does not compare. I sent 8 of my 11 dinners back while dining at the YC restaurant. Not a good look. If you are dining during daylight hours in the YC dining on the Divina you get your own personal bathing suite show from outside with all the sunbathers on the deck. This was truly awful. I don't judge and I don't mind what you wear when you are out on the deck in the sun, but holy moly...... I saw way to many men in way tiny speedos while trying to eat my meals. I am booked on the Meraviglia in October and hope this is a better experience. Also the Divina was not originally a YC ship. They added it at a later time to the YC balcony cabins are VERY small. Same size as the regular balcony cabins, so nothing special there either. No Nespresso machine. Would I sail on the Divina again--- absolutely not.
