pmacher61 Posted December 4, 2013 #26 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) People don't all pay the same price for the same cabins. Best to call MSC or your TA to price what dates etc you are looking for. Too many factors go into pricing. Hope this helps. It doesn't help. Hopefully, the OP will give us an "idea" of the cost of the YC accommodations. It is my understanding that YC cabins approach the cost of cabins aboard the luxury lines , e.g. Crystal, Seabourn, Silversea, etc, and I was interested in ascertaining whether that is, in fact, the case.

Unless someone volunteers the information, it is a little intrusive to ask how much they paid. MSC prices are on their website. TA's are under instructions not to undercut so pricing is fairly transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go Hot of the press, a 7 nights including flights and transfers from UK to Genoa, on Splendida in the YC. If you say that £300 covers the flights and transfers for two people and an Alligesimo package would cost £19pppd (£266) (The YC is equivalent to a cabin + the AI package). So subracting these two elements:- The the cabin costs £753 which is £53.80 pp per night Black card holders would pay £815 for the cruise (cabin inclusive of the AI) and £1115 for the package The advert I saw TODAY MSC Splendida Italy, France, Spain & Tunisia Cruise 4 January 2014 - 7 night cruise Fly Cruise - Genoa round trip Yacht Club Suite from £1319 Includes FREE flights and Transfers MSC Yacht Club!

I see Skier52 beat me to quoting straight for the MSC website which is easily accessed. Edited December 4, 2013 by Cruisergal1208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted December 4, 2013 #30 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thank you Skipper. My thoughts exactly. I see Skier52 beat me to quoting straight for the MSC website which is easily accessed. I was quoting from an advert from a TA, which just goes to show that Skipper Tim was correct when he said the TAs can't undercut. It's exactly the same price as the MSC web site Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecruises Posted December 4, 2013 #31 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If you sign up to the MSC newsletter you will get offers...and more offers...and more offers LOL...all the time they do special deals and upgrades and onboard credits depending on how a sailing it selling I guess In US check too - there are past passenger discount, sometime Florida resident, senor/over 50 aarp deals, and a good deal for military MSC website is usually NOT the best source of info - sign up for newsletter hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted December 4, 2013 #32 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In the USA you get lower prices with a TA and MSC prices are always higher and every TA has different prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Skier 52 for sharing the info. That pricing is a lot cheaper than the luxury lines which puts the YC in a very favorable light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pricing is a lot cheaper than the luxury lines which puts the YC in a very favorable light. If you get the newsletter you can really stay on top of the deals. I have seen various promo's - upgrades to YC from Balcony....or other deals....always promos Military get 10% off some cruises...MSC has some senior rates start at age 50 - aarp haha- which is cool....resident rates....past guest rates...some solo deals =-and so forth Everyone in my group got a nice upgrade - insides to outsides, outsides to balcony , balcony to deluxe/extended or whatever.....no charge I am sure there was a possible upgrade to YC that would have been affordable but would not have worked for a group (wanted to eat together etc) Keep checking - and let us know what you find :) Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
