FrostyJoe Posted December 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2021 What are those 4 elevators in the forward part of the ship (bank of two each on both port and starboard side)? Are they crew only elevator or perhaps the yacht club folks? Or are they open for everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleherdl Posted December 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) The bank of forward elevators are actually 6 (3 each port and starboard). The most forward port and starboard (closest to Broadway Theater) are YC Priority when activated by a YC cruise card. The only elevator that is completely YC exclusive is inside the Yacht Club and only services decks 14 to 19 inside the Yacht Club. The apparent 4 elevator shafts you see further forward are clearly crew-only service elevators.

FrostyJoe Posted December 21, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted December 21, 2021 So are these elevators circled in red in the attached pictures YC only from 14-19 and rest of the decks its crew only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleherdl Posted December 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Those are clearly crew-only service elevators. The deck plan will note elevators open to guests as ‘LIFTS’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleherdl Posted December 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The YC only guest elevator is across from the circular stairway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that single elevator now 🙂 I wasn't sure about those crew elevators before since I didn't notice that small YC elevator before. Any idea where the muster station is for deck 12 fwd cabins? I presume it'd be at Broadway theatre? Also, what do they do for muster if you can't take the stairs to/from deck 12? Do they make exceptions to take the elevator?

kelleherdl Posted December 21, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Sorry FrostyJoe, I do not know the specifics of you muster station. It will be on your cruise card and on the door inside your cabin. I only use the stairs for muster drills, but I know you can identify yourself to muster guides if you need assistance.

rkacruiser Posted December 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 22, 2021 As a YC guest on this ship, I found it most difficult to use any priority elevator service from the foyer outside the Main Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myeslf have accidently stepped in the elevator with y/c guests when I havent been staying in, and I have also had the reverse happen. I have had people step in and disrupt the priority service for me as well. There have been times I have gone up the glass elevators midships and walked across the deck to avoid this.

dexddd Posted August 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Mera's YC elevators work pretty good. Just don't know which side it will be until it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted August 25, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Commandeering the elevator is the best. Great perk. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are more receptive than others (the butlers know which are the best ones). Meraviglia's aren't great but they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Line Posted August 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It is only the most forward elevator one on each side of the ship that has the card reader in the elevator car. The card scanner at the call buttons is just for those two cars as well. When you swipe in the car it wipes out the other calls that have been punched and the next floor button pressed is where the elevator is going first. Of course, you punch your floor and someone else in the car punches a floor below the destination you punched after your swipe the car will stop there first. This is from my experience, further testing is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
