BTW if you've booked through a TA, they should sent you your Ticket, you can't get them from the app or site.

BTW, it sucks that you can't get a screenshot of the app... Thanks for your effort to use 2 device's to post the menu's! In Grandiosa, the bar menus were available through a qrcode, which downloaded a PDF, much easier to view and share.

Yes, they are cheaper. It may come as a surprise, but there are people "on a budget" wishing to go sailing! 😁

Cruises in Brazil are charged through Brazilian CC companies, USD converted to BRL onboard, including installments payment options, which are very common around here.

I'll have to try that on my next sailing! 🤣 on my last sailing at Grandiosa, I've been well behaved until I got to the Butcher's Cut, the portions were BIG! Me and DW were on the experience menu, and our friend chose some kind of sampling, which had 4 or 5 courses, sorry I don't have the menu, but each course was BIG! by the third course we were laughing because he couldn't get more food... In the "experience" menu, you'll choose any 3 courses between appetizers, starter/soup, entrees, stakes and dessert.

I understand that all promo are local, so it will be different depending on your booking location. In Brazil, currently they are offering a Cashback promo. You'll get up to R$ 1.200 (~$235 USD) OBC, the value will change accordingly to the cabin type, from External up to YC. No OBC for Interior Cabin. Last month, it was the same promotion, but it was up to R$ 1500 (~$293 USD) OBC.

I watch a lot of videos about the ship I'm interested in, and specially the "background" videos that can show the inner workings, like the bridge, engines, kitchens, construction... Have you seen Andreas at Sea YT channel? He's the current Hotel Director at #Seaview, he's offering a nice "inside" view from the ship.

If you're in the ship, you'll be able to see the blue wristband with the YC logo. About personal preferences, maybe that's why the ship has over 2000 cabins in like 10 different sizes, 4 experiences levels and so many venues onboard, they'll try to please everyone and sail as full as possible!

Don't underestimate the power of an UPgrade bid 😁 I've got an upgrade to YIN from a Balcony for less than it would cost to add the drink package and WiFi, which are both complimentary in YC.

There will be an assortment of snacks at the YC Sundeck Bar as well, finger food, pastries, and many more.

IMHO one of the best views in Grandiosa: The Sky Lounge on Deck 18, for us it was a great example of the different experiences one could get on a cruise. By the pool the people were jumping up on a party/dance, on the Sky Lounge, an adults only space with a Jazz Trio and drinks relaxing and watching from a couch, separated only by a glass... The Masters of the Sea Pub was another, if it wasn't for the sea movement one could very much think it went outside the ship for a London Pub after hour.

Yeap, it's included. You could purchase the massages and other treatments.

I've got a feb/25 booking, IC - Bella in Seaview, couldn't be more "Below the Salt" as @Essiesmom expressed here. I'll try to add some review/comments, feel free to add any requests 😁 That is, unless i get lucky in another YCI bid 🤞🖖

That's considering the available YCB with 14 nights duration so it could be a close match to the Silversea quote.

That's the quote for a YCB on a similar 14 nights: Or from Miami you could get on the new World America (beginning in jul/25)
