Of course MSC has not updated their website to reflect any changes with the program. From what I have read over the last few months one word that seems to define this cruise line is “inconsistent”. 😊 With that said we’re still looking forward to the cruise. we are sailing April 18th. First time in YC so super excited! ( regardless of mini bar issues..lol) Would still love to see some sofa bed pics if anyone has any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blordos Posted February 10, 2020 #27 Share Posted February 10, 2020 This was my YC cabin in last month. Everything is still brandnew as the ship was only 2 months old. The suites are 50% bigger I think but MSC charges them for much more money. We met a couple in the YC lounge who had a Balcony and they paid 3 times as much as I did with my inner cabin. The nightlights at both side of the bed are dimmable. That was a nice feature if you don't want to sleep in pitchdark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Soap Posted February 10, 2020 Author #28 Share Posted February 10, 2020 We needed the suite to fit 4 of us. Even doing 2 inner cabins( which I looked at) was considerably pricier than 1 suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridian1 Posted February 10, 2020 #29 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The sofa bed is the size of a full sized bed. Your 2 teens should fit on it comfortably. We sailed in the same type of cabin on Seaside (sorry no photos of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number34 Posted February 15, 2020 #40 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi all, we are on the Grandiosa in YC early April and I’ve just installed the MSC for Me app. When checking the details have just noticed that the Premium Internet package is included. Is this correct? I thought it was going to be introduced later this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sailings are all after May and show the updated wording with it included so it could just be they just changed main file documents or they might be actually implementing it early. If it really is being given early we should start hearing reports soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always so full so no need to snack from the frigde. So much choices there. I had cabin 16006 and took the emergency exit to the bar. Just around the corner. 🙂 We are going to be staying in 16006. So, I can scoot through the emergency exit to Top Sail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy Grandiosa is coming to Port Canaveral in 2025/end of 2024, have been looking at Interior Yacht Club ever since sailing on Seashore Yacht Club in April. But have also been reading some of her reviews. Not real great. But also realize everyone has different expectations/experiences. Guess no question here, just deciding.

We're sailing on Grandiosa next week, what sort of negative reviews have you read? I've not seen anything terrible recently, a few general moans about the buffet being busy but not a lot otherwise. I've seen many recent compliments about YC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we will, all of our YC cruises have been excellent. To be fair, all of our cruises have been great, both YC and non YC. But YC is extra special.

TheSoccerCoach Posted June 17 #48 Share Posted June 17 (edited) Agreed on all of this! Our Grandiosa sailing with be our 15th? together with MSC. We have sailed a few Fantastica and I think a Bella. But, most were Aurea, especially before pandemic. And, our past three and upcoming two YC. We LOVE YC. But, all of our MSC cruises have been lovely! Excited for Grandiosa. This is our first non ADA interior. So, a little nervous about the small size. But, the price is right! Edited June 17 by TheSoccerCoach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmh Posted June 18 #49 Share Posted June 18 Here are some pics of cabin15018 and TSL. We were on the Grandiosa in 2022 and really loved it. We had our 5 year old son with us, no problem at all. Enjoy your cruise! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorfromBrazil Posted June 19 #50 Share Posted June 19 Reviewing the old minibar question. I've been on a YCI at Grandiosa last Dec/23 from Brazil. All of the minibar items, except for the Toblerone/Nuts/Pringles (love that) are replenished every day. Our butler even observed that I drank a lot of the sparkling water, about 4 a day, and on the next batch they where doubled on the minibar plus a couple of big bottles on the top. Usually when you'll get assigned your butler, they will offer one bottle of a Spirit (Whisky, Vodca) or Wine that's yours. I've brought mine home. There's also a Nespresso machine in your cabin, we asked for some tea bags that they promptly got us. Be aware that if it's your birthday you may get a treat! BTW You'll get another bottle of Wine/Sparkling Wine + miscellaneous treats if you're at VC Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
