Divina Aft Balcony problems

A friendly piece of information for anyone staying in an aft balcony on

Divina, be prepared for water falling onto it from the pool above,it seems it is not a design fault of the ship! Or so we are told.

Which deck are you on?

Is it because of the Infinity Pool? We didn't experience "water fall" on Splendida (no Infinity Pool).

Booked in an Aft Balcony for Christmas on the Divina. Cannot wait! Have not heard this complaint re water before but if that's the case then I guess will enjoy this unique cabin as previously planned!

SH ... the problem is the infinity pool being overfilled, any movement by the ship allows water to get out somewhere and Deck 12, 11 and 10 balconies are affected.

I thought an infinity pool had to be filled to the edge by definition. :confused: I guess the catch basin just isn't wide enough?

Mike ... there is clearly an issue that the glass of the infinity pool is not containing the water for some reason.

And here is the Infinity pool area of MSC Divina, I took these images last year on our Eastern Med cruise from Venice. I noticed that in high seas they didn't fill the pool up completely.

I am so excited to have an aft cabin on Divinia, on the 12th floor, YIKES..I plan to use it a lot and not sure I will be enjoying the water issue. Please post on return from first cruisers....

Just got back from the TA. The infinity pool was overfilled only when the ship was in a port. When at sea, they kept the level of water low enough so it never got to the glass wall.

Thanks for the clarification. How did you enjoy the cruise? Good points?. bad points?

We were on the repo also.....our deck was quite wet at times with water flowing over the pool area...deck 15...then down the deck 14 windows of the buffet and onto decks 11 and 10 that stick out further than decks 13 and 12.....we had the large balcony with two loungers and two chairs and a table........they had to come and clean them up twice and then just left it wet the rest of the time later in the cruise.....happened if the pool was filled up too much or it was rough and the water went right up to the large windows at the end of the pool and the return grates could not handle the overflow....was a pain as when that was happening you could not sit outside.....a big design flaw.....also got wet when they put the automatic buffet window cleaner on and the spay came down also....out of the 18 days...probably wet half the time...so cabin steward gave us some extra towel to put by balcony door to dry out feet before we went in the room or we got extra orange pool towels.....

Hi Ken ... Hope you arrived home ok ... :)

Like you we had the Loungers table and chairs,a good job the woman next door to us did not spend an extra 2 minutes leaning on the balcony rail the night the pool overflowed ... :eek:

We had an aft balcony cabin on deck 9....

Never had a water issue!

That is because they no longer overfill the Aft pool and leave it that way while sailing! clearly they learned a lesson.
