When did you get your letter regarding liquor and pillow choice for YC? I haven't got anything yet, but I'm hearing the butlers aren't always getting people's responses to the questions.

I haven't got anything yet, but I'm hearing the butlers aren't always getting people's responses to the questions. Ours came within 5 days before cruise. One email for each passenger. We assumed we would each receive preferences offered. Not the case. After embarkation, butler informs us they do not receive this information passengers have submitted. No pillow choices, etc. he asked for newspaper choice and choice of 1 small bottle of liquor per cabin. It appears this new YC feature in not active yet or MSC is using it for marketing .

He was big contributor to our enjoyment of that cruise! I told him I always let the sommelier choose my wine and he did not disappoint. He even picked my apéritifs and he batted 1.000 there, as well. I heard he is back. He and Vince were great in the YCDR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t get a letter before the cruise and there was nothing in our room other than a generic welcome letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globe-trekker Posted October 18, 2022 #40 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We just got off of the Seaview in Genoa on the 16th... we had very good service in bars and restaurants- but I was disappointed to find that there was NO sparkling wine chilling in our cabin. (no fruit bowl either but that appeared later). When we asked about the bubbly we were informed by our butler that we could choose it as our "mini-bar" choice for the week... so we ended up doing that. Another thing that disappointed me was the fuzzy math used for our OBC. We had $500 Usd obc which amounted to about $445 after their exchange rate to euros... which is pretty far off.

I ordered the Washington Post (verbally to the butler) but was delivered the NY Post. I didn't want to make an issue so I went ahead and kept it - note with the sports section it is about 60 pages! But it had great puzzles, crosswords, etc! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballmom2007 Posted October 18, 2022 #43 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks for the warnings! Hoping the Meraviglia issues are mostly transition problems from moving from Europe to Florida. Please keep posting, particularly if you have any hints. We've been on 20+ cruises on other lines - November will be our first MSC cruise. Glad we only booked 4 days!

phissy Posted October 18, 2022 #48 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) We ended up getting 2 papers. Not sure why. Perhaps one butler asked DH during check in for his choice. Our Butler, from last cruise recognized me and came over to say Hi. He asked me for newspaper choice also. We did have sparkling wine in YC cabin as Diamond perk.
