Esv104 Posted December 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello. Getting ready for a February cruise.. Had read in past the idea of Gelato, crepes, zip line, minibar etc. no longer being included. I know zip line is not. Wondering if anybody who booked when it was included was granted that perk. So, was hoping anybody on board in recent weeks can confirm what is still included and if changes have been made. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted December 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We were on 4 weeks ago I know mini bar was still included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted December 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2019 On Seaside currently. Booked in February 2019 Mini-bar, as normal/expected/same as past cruises is included, will be refilled as needed or at request. Gelato and crepes still included Drinks at Venchi up to $12 covered As you booked so far in advance, you should - should! - still have actual champagne, ie Nicholas Feuillate, included/covered, but it may take some serious arguing to get it. Prosecco is most definitely covered. There's no champagne $12 and under really So, essentially there hasn't been any real changes to Seaside YC - yet. Other ships have their own quirks, inclusions, etc. For instance, Seaview doesn't include gelato or crepes, even though it's the sister ship, Venchi is the vendor, etc. Random, but there you go. Have a fantastic time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted December 31, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We upgraded our drink package for 17 a day, which then covers all drinks , high end champagne, twenty plus year old scotch, really high end cognac. Not really needed unless you really prefer extremely high end stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted December 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We had two Seaside this year booked before the reports of changes last November. Zipline already gone. All else the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esv104 Posted December 31, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted December 31, 2019 When I booked the zipline was definitely included. Wonder if anybody got grandfathered into getting that included even after it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd320 Posted January 1, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looking forward to a report on the Seaside on the Jan 4th cruise in the YC. A month ago the Seaside YC director said the gelato would be gone in January. We have our next cruise Jan 11th. I hope that was bad information.

I contacted our TA to handle this - she didn't see it in her system - so she is calling Did you do it prior to sailing? Or onboard? If we wait and do it onboard-- do we have to get the concierge in YC to change or sail cards/bands to be sure the prem + package is scanned into our account/tracker?

TYIA Our travel agent had problems trying to get us upgraded, we upgraded on first day in bar in YC bartender can explain package and will add a sticker to your sail card, we had one false charge that concierge took care of, concierge is always there at desk at entrance to YC on deck 16 on seaside. Not a bad idea to ask concierge every day or so for print of current charges on your account. We really enjoyed the upscale choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGSMFC Posted January 2, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 2, 2020 We will be sailing very soon in the Yacht Club and wondered if you get any laundry or dry cleaning at a discount price. If not does anyone have any prices for dry cleaning etc. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchette Posted January 2, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I am also wondering about the laundry prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the per item prices below from Meraviglia last month. This form was filled out for using the 40 piece package when not in YC where it needed to be turned in all at once. If you are in YC it will be expedited based on the cabin number and your butler/steward will usually allow one or two smaller loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY Our TA tells me to upgrade is an online thing and $32 pp pd...all of which I know is wrong....It is $17 pp pd and because there is no option in our planners Will do it at YC bar on first morning TY fogfog Edited January 2, 2020 by Fogfog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esv104 Posted February 9, 2020 Author #18 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Now that we are a couple months into the new year, is it safe to say that Seaside Yacht Club Gelato, crepes, Venchi DRINKS, minibar are STILL included, no change, no charge? Thanks for update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perakcruiser Posted February 9, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 9, 2020 It was the Seaside and not the Seaview, but at the end of the cruise I was told that the Zipline was booked zero times during the whole cruise. So probably not included for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're sailing in YC on Seaside in April, and if it's still the reasonable $17/day upgrade, we're probably going to do it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingnewtoit Posted February 9, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 9, 2020 CSR wouldn't upgrade our drink package from premium under YC to plus for our upcoming Divina cruise. She said it's not allowed. She claims the previous CSR should not have done it under our Mera booking. She put me on hold & consulted with her supervisor. I was worried she was going to take it away on my Mera cruise..She said they weren't going to remove it but now I'm worried since this is MSC 🙄. She said YC was already the best. I explained their was a $17 difference between the plans. Anyone upgrade in the last few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first the CSR didn't see the upgrade but than she did find it. I upgraded it for both of my Meraviglia cruises that I have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wouldn't even use the code from Mera cruise on the Divina. I'm going to try again after we get back from our Feb cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
