MouseBerry Posted July 25, 2021 #27 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi, 260 pax in YC. If this is true it is a quite high load. Considering there are 86 YC suites this means in average >3 people per cabin. Never experienced such a high occupation in YC. Do the Covid-19 restrictions of distancing and blocked seats in TSL and Pooldeck develop any kind of problem. For me the most important aspect of YC is the absence of any crowding, louncher hogs and fighting for a seat. In particular on sea days this could be critical. By the way: does anybody know if YC guests are allowed to use the aurea area on the topdeck? If so it could be used as an overflow area for YC. cheers MouseBerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to COVID, YC guests on Seaside could freely go through the gate to the Aurea area (which was never crowded on the three times we sailed). But then again, TSL was never really crowded.

Rare MarkusToe Posted July 25, 2021 Author #29 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Shure use of Aurea deck is possible. In front of YC bar all tables fully occupied...due to high winds (36kn) today table on the side of the ship not really usable. Aurea Deck 19 is split by half, the port side is used for the crew.

Rare Germancruiser Posted July 26, 2021 #33 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thank you Markus- your effort is very much appreicated. I am sailing out of Genua early October - the voyage you took was my first choice- decided to go for warmer weather in Octorber so I switched to the Seaside. First time with MSC- first time in YC ( well, to be honest wouldn´t consider MSC ouside YC) ! So I am very curious. Greetings Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MouseBerry Posted July 26, 2021 #37 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hi, just a question: are lunch menu items served at the pool deck as well? I assumed this will be served in the YC restaurant only, and pool deck has a pool grill with specific items. cheers MouseBerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted July 26, 2021 Author #38 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Right, lunch menue is at restaurant only. No extra menue for pool grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditmar2007 Posted July 26, 2021 #39 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thank you very much. I'll be taking this tour in September. Could I ask you to post one of the bar cocktail menus? I need to figure out if a drink package is worth it for me. I certainly hope my Visby tour is not cancelled. I've been to Gottland before (during the Medieval Week), but I'd love one more walk through the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted July 27, 2021 Author #40 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) The excursions sale process is the worst I've ever seen. There are no extra seats on excursions bookable on the ship only. That's lies from sal's Rep in the phone. You will get your starting time at down service the day before..... Very nice to get the info at 9pm if you have 2 kids and your tour start at 7.15 AM.

Até Posted July 27, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I've not paid close enough attention to the current EU sailings, I don't remember seeing that a glass of water from the Pool bar or Buffet bar costs €0.75, is that fairly new? I didn't see it on any UK sailing menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
