11179 is a large corner balcony cabin.

it will only have a view forward.

It is a standard cabin 192 sq ft( 168 living area; 24 bathroom) The balcony is 124 sq ft

 

SEE image below

 

 

12106 and 12111 are both standard cabins ; 192 sq ft with a balcony of 42 sq ft.

 

Both are within the main recessed area; 12106 is nearer the centre than 12111 and is therefore a better position from the point of view of having a wider field of view.

So which is the better of 11179 or 12106 will depend on your liking for a large balcony with limited views or a standard balcony with better field of view.

 

 

I would always have a balcony over an OV and would never have an inside unless it was an absolute bargain and there no other OV or balonies available.

 

it can get very crowded on Divina's pubic decks so i'd say a balcony is a must

Thank you so much for the info! I think we would prefer the views over the size of the balcony because we're only two people + also a corner balcony might not get much sun. I'm sure they're both lovely either way! :)

I'm sooooooooo jealous!!!! We have sailed MSC Divina 3 times so far and have loved every single one. We can't wait for her to return back to Miami in November!!:):)

Oh really? It must be good then! This cruise will be around the Western Med in August, so it will be nice and hot! :)

Welcome to CC and to the MSC forum Charlotte!!! Which MSC ship are you sailing on? Pete(Skier52) is our resident expert on stateroom locations so he will need to know which ship you are sailing on to give you accurate information.:D

Hi Mikesa1721! Thank you :)

Oops I forgot that! -It would be the MSC Divina! :D

13002 is next to some "white" cabins which I believe are senior officers cabins so there should be no noise. But it is a long way from the MDR so would not a good choice for someone with mobility problems.

 

11230 has the same good views but is close to the aft set of lifts , These are good for access to the MDR but may be the source of noise from inconsiderate guests returning to their cabins.

Some people like being close to lifts , especially if you have mobility problems, others don't.

Hi Pete + everyone else!

We are first time users of this site and first time cruisers to MSC! I was wondering how you would compare MSC to other cruise lines such as NCL/ Cunard/ Holland America?

Also, if possible, would you be able to tell me which is the best cabin out of 11179, 12106 and 12111 in your opinion, please. (From looking at the deck plans, I think 12106) If you have any information about balcony sizes too that would be awesome. Do you personally think it is worth the money for a balcony over an inside or oceanview stateroom?

Thank you in advance,

Charlotte :)
