Good morning to you.... and thank you so much for the photo... did u notice maybe the difference between beach cabanas and view of the beach cabanas? 399 vs 499? 
 

greetings from really cold Switzerland.....

The beachfront cabanas are directly on the YC beach. The oceanview cabanas were past the Ocean Cay house (YC restaurant) on a small area of land but with rocks at the shoreline and no way to enter the water without walking a little bit. Shade would be the same as buildings are the same. If you dont want to get in the water and want to be in a quieter area, the oceanview cabana would be fine.

You only need 1 cabana and pull up more loungers in front and nearby.

82days until our Cruise with Divina... wondering if the YC cabanas will be ready by then... u got any info on that?

We are currently sitting in a YC cabana. Despite the original talk about YC section not being open until Feb, it is open now with private beach, butler service, cabanas, lunch area. I will post more info and hopefully some pics when I get to airport wifi tomorrow.

But the island is very nice although obviously a work in progress.

On Meraviglia now heading to Ocean Cay tomorrow. Our butler has told us we will be returning to the ship for dinner in YC restaurant. I will report back after tomorrow's visit.

Following along also.

Do you remember if they advertised any internet package specials when you boarded? Can't decide whether to book one now or wait for a possible better deal aboard.

Can't decide whether to book in advance or wait for a better deal on the ship.

I was expecting internet speed similar to Seaside which was great. I was able to stream a March madness basketball game on my phone with almost no freezes.

Wonder why Meraviglia is so slow?

For anyone checking in on the liveblog. Was hoping to keep it current throughout each day, but the WiFi has been late 1990s terrible through the week so far. I most definitely miss the voom service from Harmony of the seas where I’d get 8mb down. Being that the Meraviglia is actually younger than Harmony I would have expected better. 

Sorry to see that. Im looking forward to when you get a better connection.

I will be on this cruise in the YC with you as well. Have been on Seaside  twice and Divina once. I can't wait either. Flying down to Miami Friday 29th. We are meeting 5 other couples for this cruise. We will be the people wearing the UVA stuff.😀

I am sure you are excited about the upcoming trip! We are on the Dec 1 cruise following you so we will definitely be interested in your postings. If not too much trouble posting the dailies would be wonderful.

Bon voyage!

No, the sofa bed is ok for 1 teen or 2 small children. Best plan is put your wife and mother in YIN for booking and watch to see if you can switch the other YC deluxe later on to one that has a pullman bed.

With 4 in the cabin, I would definitely try to upgrade. We stayed next door to RS and by the balcony size its about twice as big.

Re:  Luggage Tags

 

My  travel agent sent me printed documents that included luggage tags designated for YC.  The agency also provided plastic luggage tags for me to try to apply to my luggage.

 

Surely appreciate the above post as I will be driving to the Port and leaving my luggage before I find the appropriate parking garage.

In that case, you will want to turn off to the right as you approach the terminal. This will be near the bow of the ship. This turn off will let you get close to the YC tent.

Thanks for the quick review. Glad you had a great time!

Do you happen to remember if they offered a discounted internet plan once you got on the ship. A recent cruiser said she had a 10gb offer for $66.

Question for someone who has been in YC recently--do I need to worry about the luggage tags that come with my e-ticket, or are they going to put YC luggage tags on our bags when we arrive at the YC tent in MIA?

They will put new tags on for you at the YC tent. They write your cabin number on with a pen. Just watch and make sure they write the correct number legibly.

Another tip-

When you arrive at the terminal, it can be a bit of a madhouse. Tell them to drop you at the white YC tent which will be at the first part of the building you get to.

The Miami porters are very aggressive. Dont let anyone take your bags until you get to the butlers at the tent. They have their own porter and luggage cart right there.

What stateroom were you in on the seaside? Hope we get your butler next week.

We had Primus last April. He was excellent.

I have to admit that the last 2 YC cruises we were on, I never opened the bottle of prosecco on ice in our cabin and didnt take it home either. Didnt matter to me whether Id already paid for it. I assume they just put them on ice the next week.

Does spirits mean you could ask for a bottle of whiskey or gin? And I don't mean the tiny bottle.

Anything $12 or under should be included in YC package. On Seaside, at Teppanyaki they got our wine from the YC bar by the bottle sent over.

Thanks for the BC wine list! Very useful. Glad you had a great cruise. Taxi to airport is a set price from the cruiseport around $25-27. The YC luggage will be in the terminal building closest to the exits. So walk past all the other bags to Gold section. Hopefully you wont have to wait too long to get thru immigration.
