FYI there are a selection of Preziosa Southampton sailings now available!

I stayed in 12131 on Divina this November. Absolutely loved the cabin, it felt huge given its square shape. It also benefited from being off a side corridor, which gave the cabin an extra sense of privacy. Noticed no noise either.
-
I’ve heard that the furniture is on back-order and will be arriving with the umbrellas for the Yacht Club pool deck.....
I'm not sure if you're joking :')

Thanks for your review, I hope that you enjoyed your cruise!
From the things you've pointed out, it does seem that a lot of these issues can and should be addressed - no fatal flaws in the ship itself (bar the aft vibration!). I'm hopeful that MSC can iron these out.

The HC YIN has the same matching light gray/white marble countertop and flooring similar to the standard balcony YC suites. The pics of the YIN cabins do not look the same, including the floors.
You’re right that they aren’t the same as the YC balconies, but in the pictures they do appear to have marble flooring and a different shower like I said - I didn’t mean to infer that they were the same as the YIN accessible or suite.
-
I admit I do agree. I think though that the standard YC interior does have a marble tiled floor, but standard countertops. The floor certainly doesn’t look the same as the non-YC bathroom floors.
The shower also appears to be different with the added rainfall shower too.

:):):)
There isn’t a Cigar Lounge on board Seaside.
Although I’m neither a cigar nor cigarette smoker, I certainly agree that Divina’s looked to be a very comfortable and pleasant room.
-
Fully understand. I see you like the chair instead of a cube. Accept what is in the cabin and be satisfied. LOL I'm calling the kettle black.
I’m surprised that the Kids Club let you out to attend the Black Card members party!
I’m all for discussing things -the point of this forum-, but you are clearly one of those people who would rather use childish retorts and exaggeration to support whatever weak point you’re making. Reading over my past points to make a moot point is a bit strange don’t you think?
Wishing you all the best on your future cruises; and best of luck to the crew and passengers that interact with you.

The attitudes shown in this thread are just toxic.
We are entitled to nothing, and should just be grateful that such parties are offered with complimentary drinks etc. Champagne and a non-alcoholic cocktail are offered, which in itself is generous. Yes, as a frequent cruiser the company can show its appreciation for your patronage, but surely this can be seen in simply hosting the party!
I can’t help but feel that no matter what is offered there will always be those who are never satisfied.
-
When I recently cruised on Divina servers normally always asked for our CC, even though we had the Premium All-Inclusive (536) package.
I think the likelihood is that cards are needed to be swiped through the console, firstly to process the order itself and secondly to record stock levels. By the same token if you purchase something that is buy one get one free, the ‘free’ item will still need to be scanned/recorded.
I wouldn’t take it personally!
-
Not entirely sure what MSC suddenly has against cabin seating? Why not include the simple cube underneath the desk, rather than having a single chair?
I do think the rest of the room looks nice and as I expected, but I'll be honest that I'm disappointed about the finish of the bathroom, and if anything perplexed about the difference in size of the tv between the accessible interior and the standard YC interior.

The above post is from the UK MSC website of a YC Interior cabin.
We’re really going round in circles here aren’t we! :')

I appreciate the pictures, gkbii :)
We will all find out later when the ship gets into Miami, I'm sure there will be more people posting. According to other videos on YC1, those cabins have 2 small closets, one on each end of the room. This photo appears to have 1 closet ....so it could very well be a YIN. Let's hope so.. ...but appreciate the upload of the pics, give us hope, ha ha.
The other closet would be out of shot as it's next to the television.
I'm certain that this is again an image of a YC1 - why would they put up a curtain to emphasise the lack of a window? Either way, you're right Seapad: it's best now just to wait!
-
Thank you so much for this tour! Extremely comprehensive and even though I barely speak a word of German, you come across as a very charismatic and knowledgeable guide :D
-
Ok I don't speak more than a few words of Russian so might be completely off but I think that first room in the Russian vid is just a regular inside possibly. I did find this videowhich specifies it is of things in the Yacht Club so maybe it helps?
This is a 'standard' Interior cabin - again accessible.

This gives a better impression of the YC accessible interior. I think the last video of it had far too many people in the room to give an accurate impression of size.

It's too bad MSC had the wrong image for the YC inside. Also they (and many other cruise lines) should not call something a suite that doesn't have at least 2 separate rooms.
But, everyone who booked knew this was an inside cabin. It should only be compared to other inside cabins elsewhere on the ship. When you do that you see that your room is larger, has premium bedding and pillows, nicer furnishings, better bathroom with better towels/ bath products. Free minibar. Bigger TV.
As well as the YC amenities everyone gets-
Butler service, dedicated upscale restaurant, Top Sail lounge, dedicated pool and lounge area, priority boarding, etc.
This is what you paid extra for. A better inside cabin in the Yacht Club. I can't imagine anyone not having a great time in this cabin.

Hear hear! The price point for the YC interior, I think, is quite reasonable for all the added amenities.
On another note, and please do disagree if you feel otherwise, but can we mention how awful the wall art in the cabins shown so far is?
-
Captain Scala previously posted a video of the RS on his Instagram, and it has a L shaped sofa layout which is much nicer.
Yes, I've had another look and you're right. I can't think what it could be then, as it isn't one of the 1 or 2 bed suites. Brown/cream/grey colour scheme clearly indicates YC... :confused:
Surely it's the other of the two RS? The layout is the reverse of the one Captain Scala showed.
-
Unlikely to be a YC interior suite. The video depicts two sets of sofa facing each other. The only cabin wide enough other than the Royal Suite (which we know this is not) are the Grand Suites. My guess is this is a 1 bedroom grand suite.
My reasoning for them being YC interior is both the YC colour scheme and the lighting of the room, which doesn't seem to suggest any external windows.
EDIT: Actually, I think it is the RS - see the attached snapshot of the floorplan, there is just an additional sofa.

Excellent video here with some great footage of public spaces -

Also, at 3:13 do I spy a YC interior suite? I can't work out what else it could be...?

Well, i tried to post the pictures but i have a problem with the website. I hosted in I M G U R DOT COM.
The problem is that you can't host photos from that website. You'll have to use another site in order to post them on here.

On this point alone I’d say accept it, as that service is part of what you are paying a higher fare for in the first place. That is of course not to say that you can’t tip an individual staff member should you want, but rather that you shouldn’t feel guilty that the daily service charge doesn’t seem to reflect the service provided.
