Live from the Divina Yacht Club or Not...

Nikki had paid for the Deluxe package, so, if there were a code on her card, it would be 421.

 

There's only one bar that does the molecular cocktails - while they're "different" I didn't find the ones that I had memorable.

I just mentioned to DH that you were embarking this weekend, too.  Have a great cruise, CF!  😊

All going splendidly so far, it's certainly chilly though and we're not even past the arctic circle yet!

I’ve never forgotten the bright blue one with flavour pods in the bottom- tasted like diesel 🤢

La Luna bar has a larger selection with fancier drinks.  I'd be interested to know what drinks package code is on your cruise card.  I would expect it to be 431, but it may be YCE.

Next to the actual barcode is YC6 and the other code is 603 not sure if either of those, also just noticed it actually says on the card Experience Fantastica!!!

Yes, a typo on my part.

Interesting, perhaps ask a bartender or server what your drink package code is.  Last I remember Divina drink codes were on the right side just below the ship name, sail dates and experience level.  Would paying for the Deluxe and being given the current YC package be considered a downgrade?  Can you get Gelato with your package?

603 is just below the ship name and am not bothered about gelatos at the moment so not tried to get them.

We are just pulling away and Arrivaderci Roma being blasted over the loud speakers!

[nikkiw60]

And Arrivaderci from me till the morning, keep your fingers crossed for a bit of sunshine tomorrow as we have a walking food tour booked, if we are in Palermo tomorrow that is , I can’t remember where next!

[GRANNYOFSIX]

Nikki, the smoked pizza looked delish.  Where did you get it?  Regular buffet or YC?

 

Arrivaderci.............on to you next destination 🙂

 

Enjoy!!!

 

[nikkiw60]

Hi Laura it’s from the regular buffet and it really was delicious. Will definitely be having another later in the week, it had vegetable toppings. And the dough was really light with a slight chew!

Do you know if you get it because you have the deluxe package or is it included for everyone in the YC?

 

Who is the Yacht Club manager?

[emmas gran]

We didn’t have Deluxe pkg on Preziosa or Splendida and I got NF both cruises— no problem in TSL or restaurant

I was on Divina in February and I couldn't get NF in the TSL the first days.

603 is the free water and hot drinks at lunch and dinner that you would have got if you weren't upgraded

[Fogfog]

Following along here

new to MSC

 

Is sailing in YC covering ALL premium brands except those listed as "Connoisseur"? Unclear what NF i

 

Have things like milkshakes and gelato continued to be included in YC pax benefits?

 

Also YC benefits lists specialty dining-- does that mean a YC pax can have dinner in those places without an upcharge?

 

TY

I knew I'd seen the code before, but couldn't remember what it signified!  👍

Nicolas Feuilatte is the cheapest Champagne they have on the ship. It's not listed as Connoisseur. The problem is that they don't have it on the menu in the Top Sail Lounge so noone really know if it shall be included or not.

[nikkiw60]

Well! 693!is definitely the water package! We discovered this when we were charged for 2 rounds of drinks in the Golden Jazz Bar!!

when the 2nd round came and we had a charge I thought this odd so questioned our server, he had only looked at the bar code and not turned our cards over and seen Yacht Club! 

The conciege later confirmed what had happened and she mentioned the 421 code! She said they would sort them out today.

[nikkiw60]

The steak tartare was delicious, the crab meat with the chicken had no crab taste at all and was quite mushy in texture! I would go as far as to say it was crab sticks!

[nikkiw60]

WE went to the casino for half an hour last night I am on a mission to get the 30% off another cruise... I have got 6 points so far...

we are just off the coast of Palermo at least it’s not raining but it’s a bit choppy it feels like how it was all the time on the Seaside!

Tonight is Gala night.

Also last night in the Golden Jazz Bar it was fascinating watching people line dancing to classic songs from the Great American Song book! Don’t know what Frank and Dean would make of it!

[nikkiw60]

Hey up! It looks like the sun is trying to come out!

[emmas gran]

Come on they won't understand Hey up --you sound as if it's a "not bad" sort of day so far.

 

Good morning to you

 

When we ventured to the casino the drinks were on a bill with no charge both on Preziosa and Splendida
