DaveOKC Posted July 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Some of our group are in the YC, while others are not. I know that the non-YC people cannot dine in the YC dining area, but can YC people dine with the others in the MDR? I have heard conflicting reports on this and was wondering if it depends on whether the non-YC people had Fixed or Open dining?? What are the rules on this?

hakko808 Posted July 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You may be able to work out MDR with the Maître D if the ship is not full, otherwise they have the spots reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now have 6 seatings in the MDR because of the overflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted July 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The simple answer is no, the reason being that the other two dining rooms are there for the rest of the ship so it is not possible to accommodate people from the YC. Having said that on an odd occasion that people choose not to use the dining room it might be a possibility but you would have to wait until at least 15 minutes after dinner service has begun.

TrinaLC Posted July 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Best bet is to get the specialty dining 3-pack and dine there. It is adjacent to YC perhaps cocktails on your YC balcony first. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare missthesea Posted July 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I agree with the other posters. They did not seem flexible about the issue last month. A couple in YC tried, even offering to wait for a quiet night or a no-show in the MDR. They were not successful. Booking a specialty restaurant would be the best option, the Trio package Trina mentions would be the best value.

stoneman56 Posted July 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2018 But if you are Aurea package you can dine when and where you like, so there must be empty tables to accommodate flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted July 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Stoneman ... On Seaside you can only dine in the Seashore dining room if you are booked in Aurea! we have done it twice so far, though in April we moved to a fixed time for 4 nights to have a waiter who we had at Xmas and on previous MSC cruises. It was on the proviso that if those who should have been there turned up we would go back over to the Aurea part of the Dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sverigecruiser Posted July 11, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Maybe the whole group can eat in the YC restaurant one night? I have seen, somewhere here on CC, that it might be possible to do that for a fee. Ask the concierge about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingFox27 Posted July 11, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Each time we've sailed Aurea the dining room had been pretty full. It would be unfair on those guests if the table were occupied by YC guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
