Tiana (Grandiosa 03/23) was outstanding. We wrote her a personal message to show our appreciation (besides extra tip)

We have just been in cabin 12005, I have written a detailed review. Our cabin was on deck 12/13, where the YC concierge is located in 16. We felt bit outside, as we did not see our butler, other than delivering breakfast. I suppose the will not be better on deck 9/10. When we have been in the YC enclave we had much more interaction with butler/concierge. In Port days we walked directly to disembarkation than up to 16 and then get escorted. For us, it was not big problem, as we are DIY people. If it would have been our first cruise in YC we would not have been spoiled like our first two cruises inside then YC. Anyway, we would always select a larger room outside, than inside.

Enjoy your cruise, we have just disembarked the Euribia. We went without kids. With silver you should get 50 USD/Euro OBC if booked 9 months in advance.

Pleasure. Through we are used to the cold, we already had lots of snow and minus 20 Celsius here in Munich, its different if you are in a cruise ship. We prefer to use all the outdoor facilities and our balcony more, which not possible on this cruise. We still have the Norwegian fiords and Iceland on our list but will do it preferably in fall. For Iceland we would rather go for a land based vacation using a rental car.

Hello neighbor, ist comes in very handy, if cruises start closer to your home and you can avoid long haul. We also enjoyed the short 1hr trip. Enjoy your next trips on Euribia

Thank you, you will surely not regret it. We are also counting the days till our next cruise😁

Menus for Masters at Sea, had a beed and cider there; no food available for lunch Atelier bar, had two cocktails there, which were good, atmosphere is more busy and nothing to relax Champagne bar, did not go there Jean Philippe, had crepe and sundae, delicious Hola!, went for dinner, not bad, but liked food and service better on Grandiosa in March 23 QR_AC_ATELIER-BAR-ART_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1704001260.pdf QR_J_BAR-LIST-BRITISH-PUB-V1_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1704001275.pdf QR_N_CHAMPAGNE-BAR-BEVERAGE_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1704001297.pdf QR_P_JPM-CREPE-GELATO_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1704001307.pdf

Menu for Atelier le Grill, the set Menu for 45 €has only two options for entree. If you use your diamond meal you can chose any other entree with 50% discount. With the a la carte selection it can get very pricy. Also because of the atmosphere, more bistro style than fine dining and very noisy, I would not do it again.

Cabin 12005

MSC Euribia X-mas cruise 24.12 – 31.12 – YC Duplex Suite After having read so many great reviews, I thought it might be the time “give back”. I am not a native speaker, so hopefully reading is still enjoyable. I will also keep the metric system and times J Background We are a couple in the end of our forties, early fifties. We like a relaxed cruising style and enjoy good food and entertainment. We are not the folks who will lock-up the bar at night. Kids are already grown up and do not cruise with us. We are also doing land base vacations, to explore place you can’t see on a cruise. This is our 3rd cruise with MSC in the YC within the last 2 years. We have booked another 14 nights, a Caribbean cruise for September 2024. We have been loyal cruisers with Celebrity. We started cruising in 2013 with a 14days Caribbean B2B in Aquaclass and after that, we did 9 cruises in the retreat on M- and S-Class. Our last cruise was the Christmas cruise on Infinity December 22/January 23 form Buenos Aires to Valparaiso in a RS. This was one of our least desirable cruises with Celebrity, both the retreat manager and our butler were underwhelming and unmotivated. In addition, a lot of kids and Luminae was packed all night, nit the experience we love about Celebrity. We started trying MSC in 2021 long before Celebrity ‘s so called „cutbacks“. Because we wanted to try something new. We have been very happy with MSC as of now, also considering the value in comparison to the current retreat pricing. But that is just our personal assessment, everybody needs to make their own. We will continue cruising with celebrity and will be on the Millennium in Japan March 2024, but have no more cruises currently booked with them. I will only make a „light“comparison to Celebrity, where appropriate, the focus is on MSC. 24.12 Boarding the Euribia in Hamburg We left our hotel at 11:15 and Uber took us in 30 minutes to the Steinwerder cruise port. Euribia was the only ship in port. We immediately spotted the YC Tent and dropped our bags off. We were escorted to a small waiting area with two other couples. We waited about 5 minutes and were handed out our cruise cards and wristbands. Murat the YC Director was also present and greeted us personally, a very nice touch. We were then escorted trough security and waited in the TSL for our room to be ready. We chatted with a nice couple from Orlando, though our room was ready. In total we were in our room, one hour after our arrival, perfectly smooth check-in. We have chosen a YC Duplex suite, which is located on deck 12/13 and outside the YC enclave. No problem for us, as we have no issues burning some calories walking up the stairs to the YC area above. We have set up our devices with the onboard-WLAN (2 /person with Browse package included). Starlink is available and speed test was very fast 110MB down /50MB up in the port and much slower at open sea. However, MSC has obviously restricted the speed for the browse package, which makes the usage of Amazon Prime, Netflix and Youtube impossible. I did another test with Cyberghost VPN, YouTube worked better, but Netflix, Amazon did not. I am fine with browsing websites, messenger services and Apple music, etc. so will not upgrade to the stream package. In the early afternoon, we were greeted by our female butler Elisabeta from Romania. We quickly discussed our (humble) needs and wishes, more still water and ginger ale, which she promptly delivered after a couple of minutes. We also ordered our bottle of welcome drink (champagne). We received an E-mail a couple of days prior to our sailing, to choose our drinks, pillow, etc. But like our last cruise the information did not get through. I have recognized that the small alcoholic bottles in the minibar were gone. Elisabeta said they were no longer offered, besides beer only non-alcoholics in the mini bar. Pringles, Toblerone and nuts are provided one time complimentary. As we are no hard booze drinkers, no issues for us, but definitely a reduction. After we have met Elisabeta, we wandered around the ship and checked out the newly designed carousel lounge. Despite her sister ships like Grandiosa etc., the layout is different and it’s now functioning as a lounge with free show events in the evenings. We decide that we will go for the Christmas big band event starting at 21:30 and to the Ed Sherman show in the main theater at 22:30. Before the shows we went to dinner at 19:15 ish. The restaurant was quite busy, but we were seated immediately. They have an extensive Wine list, e.g sparkling wine from Ferrari which is famous for the Italian connoisseur. Champagne etc. is available. Which was Nicolas Feuillatte. Surprisingly we receive an amuse bouche for dinner, foie gras. (but this was only one time for then x-mas dinner) I voted for the king crab as a starter, which was very good. The main, lobster, was a bit dry and chewy, but not bad at all. The dessert, panettone, was very good. The service was a bit slow and impersonal, we had to remind multiple times for our wine to be delivered. It arrived when we were almost finished with our main course. Service in Luminae is in general much better and more attentive. We will see how it develops further on the cruise. But did not bother us too much. Big band event badly organized, we arrive 30 minutes bevor the show and it was packed, no chance for us to get a seat. We listened a couple of minutes standing in the crowded entrance. The band was good, but the singers weren’t, so we left. In general, the ship was lovely decorated for Christmas, much nicer than Infinity last year. Also, the staff looked very nice, lots wearing a pretty Christmas outfit. Then we went for the Ed Sheeran show. We made the reservation for the Show tonight via the MSC app. There is also a reserved spot for YC guest, but we used the standard way and chose places by ourselves. Each show is performed three times per night. We were booked for the late slot at 22:30 and the theater was packed to the maximum. The show was ok but not great, impressing was the large movie screen, which expands all over the back of the stage. For us, Celebrity has more classy and professional shows. After the show we went to our room and were greeted by a bottle of water and two delicious good night chocolates from Venchi for each on the night table. First day recap. very good. Friendly and attentive staff with hiccups in the YC restaurant. Overall ambience on the ship is good, but different from Celebrity. More Kids and party-oriented clientele. For example, during the show small kids were running around unaccompanied in the theatre. 25.12. First Sea Day We decided to have room breakfast on the first sea day. The advantage is, that the latest slot for delivery is between 09:45 – 10:00, where the YC restaurant closes at 9:30. You have a breakfast menu, that needs to be hung at the doorknob. Like in the past we have written some additional items o the menu, like eggs benedict salmon or porridge. Breakfast was promptly delivered by our butler at 9:45, but unlike our previous butler in Grandiosa (Tiana, which was a real Gem), Elisabeta did not check the order with us. She disappeared quickly und unfortunately we discovered that some items were missing or have been delivered wrongly (Eggs Benedict with bacon, instead of salmon). At least, I called for the Porridge, which was delivered a couple of minutes later. Elisabeta mentioned, that this cruises is very busy und the kitchen is not able to make individual breakfast items, as everything is prepared in advance. Wo we could not order of the menu. For the porridge, she was able to make an exception. The departure from Hamburg was delayed by 12 hrs. So instead of 21:00 on the 24th, we left at 9:00 in the morning on the 25. This was nice, as we could see the landscape basing by the Elbe on our war to the open North Sea. After our breakfast we turned the DND sign on. 15 Minutes later Elisabeta knocked on our door, to bring Champagne, a fruite plate and some Venchi delights. I thank her and kept my „German bluntness“ under control and did not ask her why she did not respect he DND sign. But I have decided that I will make a general/anonymous remark the YC manager, that he needs to train his personnel better, as this could lead to very embarrassing moments for the guest and the butlers too. After breakfast we left our cabin to give housekeeping the opportunity to make our room. We also went to the TSL enjoying the Christmas bakery. A nice treat which was also not available on our celebrity cruise. Overall, we see much more the Christmas decorations than on our previous celebrity cruise. Though our departure was delayed by 12 hr, we arrived in Rotterdam on time next morning at 8:00. We have nothing specially planned and will just walk around the city. Dinner was the gala dinner. As far as I remember, it was mostly the same menu you usually get the last Gala Night. For us this meant the second time lobster. I started with the Rich Shrimp Cocktail, which consisted of three shrimps, salad, and cocktail sauce. It was ok but nothing to write home about. DW hat the risotto with truffle, which was very good. For the main course we shared the beef Rossini, and I had the lobster (origin unknown) The lobster was a bit dry, but ok. The Filet Rossini was better, though a bit overcooked. The service was better than yesterday. The staff was so nice to get us a new bottle of Malbec from the storage. After dinner we went to the production show. As our favorites non YC seats were already taken, we moved over to the yacht club section. It was empty until 5 minutes before the show when it opened for all guests. The show was soso, most of the singers’ voices were not good or did fit to the songs. In addition, some fellow guests were obviously lacking good manners. They entered the theater constantly ‘til 20 minutes after the start of the show, which only runs for 30 minutes, searching for places, standing in front of the audience, etc. This is neither respectful to the performers nor to the other guest who made it on time. I estimate this was around 50 people ish. Tomorrow we will take a rest from the show and might explore some other venues. As we both, like cider, we potentially will try masters of the sea in the afternoon. When we returned to our cabin, we found the diamond perk: Prosecco, dark chocolate bar und chocolate raspberries. Also, the ice bucket was filled up proactively. I will give Elisabeta a big thank you. 26.12. Rotterdam No special plans, just a walk in Rotterdam. We used the Komoot app and chose a 13 Km trail to the major sights of Rotterdam. Luckily the weather was very good. We had breakfast in the YC Restaurant for the first time. They have a broader selection than room service menu. Besides Muesli and Yoghurt, I voted for the eggs Florentine. Very nice, with tasty spinach and perfectly poached eggs. Like Celebrity, the service was slow, but as we had no time pressure, it was ok for us. The restaurant was empty and calm. We also had the chance to Talk to Murat about the DND sign issue. We did not mention our Butlers name and said it would be good, if he generally would train the YC personnel to avoid potential embarrassing situations. This afternoon, we tried our hot Tub. It is as quite chilly outside (8 C), but the water was 40,5 C warm very relaxing. We have decided to use our complimentary diamond menu tonight in the le grill restaurant. Our waiter Yoga from Indonesia was outstanding, and we had great fun with him. Unfortunately, the restaurants atmosphere was not very good. A bit cramped, and very noise. Worst thing, there was a, very good, singer the in the Atelier bar. She was so loud; I could barely keep the conversation with DW during the dinner. The Food was very good, crab cake, sirloin steak and sherbets. They were strict on the sides, only two, but all the sauces have been served. Because of the noise and atmosphere, I would not recommend it. Butchers cut on the other ships is better, much more elegant, and quieter. For the evening we skipped the show and went straight to our room. 27.12 Zeebrugge We have planned for an individual tour to Bruges. We left the ship around 11 by ourselves and used the compliments shuttle to the port exit. Our Plan was to take a taxi. Outside there was quite a large queue, which was completely disorganized, no order who was next, and taxis were arriving only 5 minutes each. So, we walk to the street where the taxis were entering and were able to catch one immediately. 65 Euro one way. Bruges was very nice, but extremely crowded and not very enjoyable, we survived 3 hrs. and bought some nice chocolates, shop after shop, we used TripAdvisor and Google for our assessment. We took a taxi back to the cruise port, which costed only 55 Euro. No crowds at the terminal and we smoothly were back on the ship in no time. Back in the room we enjoyed the Espresso coffee machine and have eaten some caked we have bought in Bruges. Because cverall we are pleased with the cruise and had very good experiences in the past with, we decided to take advantage of the future cruise offer; reduced deposit (200 E/pp) and additional 200 Euro OBC per cabin for YC bookings. We met the FC agent in the topsail lounge, and she was very nice. We have booked 9 nights in fall 2025 with Fantasia in a Grand YC deluxe suite. We went for an early dinner, which was delicious. Dumplings, honey glazed salmon, and fruit plate. Service was very friendly and efficient. Later we went to the theater where two magicians gave a great show, much better than the singers. Again, some rude guest entered the show about 20 minutes after the start. MSC should not allow this, I will make a comment in the cruise survey. After the show we returned to our cabin and found again some nice extra treats besides the Venchi good nights chocolate. 28.12. Le Havre We have arrived at 9:00 in Le Havre. We have booked a car with Sixt to explore Honfleur, Étretat and Deauville. We had a delicious room breakfast and left the ship at 9:30 (without Butler escorting, which was fine as it was not crowded). It was a leisurely 20-minute stroll to Sixt and we picked up the car, Fiat 500. Rule of thumb for French street and parking spaces, the smaller the better;.) We decided to drive to Honfleur first, to avoid potential crowds. After a 40 Minutes relaxed drive we arrived in Honfleur and had no issues finding a parking spot in the city center. Honfleur is not that big, but very beautiful. We walked over cobblestones and were very impressed by the old and typical Normandy style buildings. After 30 minutes we had mostly seen everything and headed to Deauville, a famous seaside resort especially for Parisians. Deauville’s’ sea promenade is extensive and long, we wandered around and left for the final spot: Étretat. It was an hour and ten minutes’ drive. We parked at the train station (which is no longer in use) which still had enough parking spaces. We first strolled to the Church, which was under construction. Wow, what a view. It was crowded, but not too much, mostly with locals who also enjoyed the beautiful landscape. We walked down to the beach and promenade. We spotted surfers who took advantage of the big waves. We returned to our car and drove back to Le Havre to return the car. We almost spend 7 hours aboard. We were a bit exhausted and the YC menu did not please us, so we decided to oder room service. We had two delicious pizzas, MSC special and capricciosa, accompanied by an mediterranen salad. One of the great perks in YC, you can order of the wine list from Top Sail lounge to be delivered to your room. So we ordered two glasses of Malbec. For and drinks were delivered within 30 minutes. Elisabeta also brought some nice extra treats from Venchi and Turkish nought, mhm yummy…. 29.12 – Southampton We had no special plans for Southampton, so we decided to have breakfast in the YC Restaurant. We arrived 15 minutes before closure at 9:15. The restaurant was still quite busy, but we were seated promptly. Shortly after we have entered the restaurant, rain started pouring. No rush to leave the restaurant. The service was again slow and we hade to remind multiple times for our drinks, etc. I had the vegetarian Omelett with cheese, which was very good and followed by a fruit plate an fruit yoghurt from the italien alps. After breakfast we were escorted by Elisabeta through UK Immigration which took place onboard on deck 16 – sportsbar. Within 5 minutes we have passed the control and return to our room. We left the ship for a walk in Southampton. The rain stared pouring again and we waited about 10 minutes before we left the port. We walked in the direction of the historic cemetery, then we passed a parc and back to the cruise port via the football stadium. 12 Km and 3 hrs. We did not visit the Titanic Museum. As my wife felt a bit cold, we returned to the ship and enjoyed our in room nespresso machine. Shortly after we have entered our room a light drizzly started again. We opt‘d for an early dinner at 18:45. The YC restaurant was half full. We were seated in an area where haven’t been before. We had the greatest waiter and assistant waiter on this cruise. They introduced themselves personally and addressed us by our names. They were very attentive and had time for chat about wine and working conditions, which they considered preferably on MSC than on American cruiselines – higher wages. For starter I had the escargots, which could have been more flavored. My main course – angus filet Oscar style with pacific king crab - was very good and probably the best meal in the YC restaurant on this cruise. The steak was very tender and tasty. This was our last meal in the YC, because tomorrow we went to Hola. I decided for the chocolate royal cake, which was also very good, if you are a chocolate lover. After the dinner we had a drink in the TSL and listened to the two musicians, who played great lounge music. A very enjoyable evening. 30.12 Sea Day We decided for another relaxed room breakfast, which is also great because of the dining table in the cabin. Elisabeta delivered at 9:50 as we have chosen the latest slot. The breakfast was again very good, I had the French toast and cheese plate. Nice is that they change the bowl of berries every day, today with sliced strawberries. After breakfast we left the room to give Elisabeta and Wayan time to make the room. We went down to Deck 6/7 in search for an ATM, but decided quickly to go back to TSL, as the public spaces were pretty crowded. The ship is more than full, because more cabins are occupied with more than 2 people as usually. We went to the YC concierge, and she told us that there are no ATMs on board, but she can give us cash with a 5% handling fee. As we wanted to tip Elisabeta and Wayan, we agreed. We have booked the HOLA three days ago, but only 18:00 was available, thus we decided for an early dinner again. We went for all you can eat for 17.99€ +15% grats. We have been very satisfied with Hola on Grandiosa in March this year. The food was much better, and the waiter form Honduras was outstanding. The time was only ok, Street Tacos were good, but Tamales and Enchiladas lacked flavor. Additionally, our waiter was kind of “I just do my job”. My wife said the next time we will skip this restaurant. 31.12. Disembarkation Because of our relatively early flight at 10:55 back home to Munich, we had breakfast at 7:30. (8:00 is the mandatory latest time to leave the cabin). We decided for self-embarkation with our two big and two small suitcases. That was no problem at all. We stored our bags at the YC concierge and went for breakfast. As it was quite early for us, I only had a fruit plate and yoghurt, my wife could already eat more and went for the pancakes. Service was fast and efficient and around 8:10 we walk down the gangway with our Butler Elisabeta. (we have tipped her and Assistant Butler Wayan additionally). 10 minutes later we sat in a taxi on our way to the airport. That was fast and smooth. Our flight left almost on time and around 13:30 we arrived at home. Summary Cabin and amenities Still new and spacious. Although we did not have real rough seas, there was a lot of cracking in the cabin. This was by far the creakiest one we have been in. In addition, we had very active children next to your cabin on both sides. They screamed and run around until late in the evening; this was better in Southampton where they have disembarked. Anyway, this was the first time we have heard our neighbors so much and loud. The two bathrooms were very nice, the bathroom on the first floor was a bit tiny, with a very small shower. The bathroom on the second floor had a bathtub with a shower wall. On the second floor there was an additional small room with wardrobe, vanity and safe. Because of the mostly cold weather we have not used our verandah. It had two loungers and chairs. Although the balcony is quite big, with all the furniture it looked rather small with not much space to move around. The Hot Tub was big (could easily fit 3 adults) and heated (40,5 Celsius). We used it a couple of times and it was nice. One remark, it is quite noisy when it is in operation. In warmer itineraries, where you use your balcony more, it could get a bit louder, depending on your neighbors and how often they will use it. If you are bothered by noise easily, this might not be the cabin for you. The cabin was well equipped. Nespresso machine, which is so nice for coffee lovers. Especially because MSC has no dedicated coffee bar, like Al Bacio on Celebrity. Minibar and coffee pads were replenished daily. Water, soft drinks, and beer. Exception is Pringles, Toblerone and nuts, which are only free of charge the first time. Our Butler brought each day some extra delights, which we did not request but appreciated. Having discussions in mind, if water is still provided in a sky suite on Celebrity, MSC YC is clearly a winner here. We will have the live comparison in March in our SS on Millie. As the cabin is located outside of the YC area, you do not get the same attention as inside. E.g. we have never been asked to get escorted proactively, neither to the specialty restaurant, show, nor off the ship. YC restaurant and lounge We have not used the TSL a lot, but the service and drinks have been outstanding. Especially Shiva was super friendly and attentive. In comparison to Michaels Club/retreat on M or S class ships, TSL is much nicer with entertainment. As we have not been on E-class, I can’t compare personally with that ship category. The YC restaurant was busy most of the times, regardless of the time we went. But you must consider, that Euribia is a much bigger ship than M or S-Class so the comparison might not be fair. I will see how the smaller TSL/YC restaurant compares on Fantasia. The food in the restaurant was good but not outstanding. We had two times lobster, form unknown origin, which were both a bit chewy and dry. Apart from the last evening, the service was more impersonal and distanced, then on Celebrity. In terms of ambiance and food, celebrity is a tight winner, but MSC did not really disappoint us. Overall atmosphere on the ship On this Christmas cruise, the ship was over capacity as a lot of cabins were equipped with more than two people. Also, a lot of kids. Outside the YC it was sometimes a bit uncomfortable. Most of the public spaces and bars where crowed and it was impossible to find a place to sit. We saw kids playing football in front of the elevators. People walk around in bathrobes or swimwear in public places. Luckily this did not happen too often. Because of the cold weather the outside places were merely usable, which keeps the folks inside. Overall, the feeling outside YC as more packed and not inviting to us. We have decided, this was our last Christmas cruise. Less crowded times of the year are more suitable for us. In addition, we will sail only in warmer weathers in the future, where you can enjoy the ship and your cabin more. If you have any questions, let me know.

Sounds great. And thanks to all the others providing helpful information. I will log the option in tomorrow and looking forward to my first Princess cruise.

Thx for Taking the time to reply. Of course I did a google search and I am slo a member of cruisedeckplans. I saw the video on YT as well. But A753 is an owner suite and the video and (I did not catch the cabin number) shows a penthouse suite. I am not sure ist is the same cabin, I have booked. So any specific comment to the particular cabin would be great.

Dear fellow cruisers, we have just booked an option for May 2025. I have to finally decide on Monday. I have not found much recent information; even on the cruisdeckplans member site. Appreciate any up to date information, like noise from above (Horizon Pool), condition of the suite, privacy etc. Thx in advance

Just off the Grandiosa and a lounger was no problem. We would have gotten two, but balcony was too small. In general I am wondering why MSC provides so uncomfy chairs, despite other cruise lines, short backrest and they do not recline. I need to ask on my next cruise.

Just off the Infinity in a RS. We have been able to get dinner from Luminae, did ist once. Would assume to get it on Summit as well. But with Celebrity you never know 😉

We were on the Infinity sailing December 21. There is no waiting area for retreat guest. The boarding was (a bit) chaotic. You literally walk directly to the terminal where you drop off your bags, no porters. We said we are in a suite and we were pointed to the standard waiting line. Better worked mentioning retreat and priority boarding, we were then guided directly to the shuttle bus to embark the infinity. (with one stop where we had to hand over our passports and received them back after the last port-day in Michael‘s Club). Bon voyage

Ok, I made it with Uber. We just disembarked the Infinity on Jan 2. Uber will not operate directly form the terminal, so we had to take the free shuttle form the Terminal in Valparaiso, which dropped us off close to a railway station. From here we easily called Uber, waited 10 mins and drove for 70 USD to Santiago Airport. Car and driver were very good and drive was safe and cautious.

Yes, we have used uber recently in Buenos Aires. A very good alternative is Cabify, app available on the App Store if using an iPhone. Registration is easy and payment can be done with PayPal. Uber and Cabify worked quite well to get around in Buenos Aires.

Thx, I will definitely try it.
