yacht club or two bedroom deluxe suite

Sorry I’m sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I just can’t find it. Anyway we sailed the seaside once and now thinking about booking again. We are either thinking of the two bedroom deluxe suite with Aurea experience or the deluxe suite in the yacht club. Right now drinks are free anyway which ever way we go. We are leaning towards the two bedrooms because of its size and we have 5 traveling but might be willing to go to the yacht club for a bit more. First question is what type of drink package do you get. It says unlimited in the yacht club bars and lounges but what about in the other areas of the ship? If you can get drinks in the other part of the ship are they premium ones or would we have to upgrade for that package? Will there be other kids in the yacht club areas or do you not find a lot of kids in that area? What else about yacht club did you find that made it worth it to you? We are looking at about a $400 difference between the two rooms so dollars for dollars it doesn’t seem to matter much either way. We just want to make sure we are not missing out on something really cool if we don’t book the yacht club.

This is so easy...THE YACHT CLUB! A two bedroom suite is just a big cabin with none of the YC benefits. The extra space in the YC more than makes up for the lesser space in the cabin.

Plus one to YC for this and many other reasons . . .

With a YC booking you get the deluxe/premium package for around the rest of the ship; with Aurea you get the basic/classic drinks package.

If space in the cabin is important to you, you should opt for the Aurea experience; if not, my vote would be YC.

Looking at SEASIDE sailings for late summer. Which “experience” are the Aft condos? Doesn’t look like they’re in the YC.

I think the YC cabin is a bit small for 5, its just a slightly larger balcony cabin and there is also only 1 bathroom. I love the YC but also have found the Aurea experience in a suit on ships without a YC OK as well.

Yacht Club! Only way to go....premium drinks through entire ship.

Yc all the drinks are free all over the ship and the free drink promo you will pay the 15% gratuity on every drink and the YC experience is the best.
