Msc Divina help with choosing cabin

Hello everyone. Was wanting help choosing cabin on msc divina. They gave me 6 to choose from. 12219 12146 9128 9118 9132 9134. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave

Welcome to Cruise Critic. there is a wealth of information here, but I will give it a start. 9118 is a connecting cabin, so of the deck 9 cabins, that would be my last choice. 9128, 9132 and 9134 are standard balcony cabins in Fantastica class that also have tubs. 12219 is a much smaller balcony cabin with smaller balcony, 12146 is a much better option. Perhaps Skier52 will be along soon to give further opinions...EM

Willy,,,MSC's website will only give you a few staterooms to choose from. If you call, MSC will be able to give you all the staterooms that are available for your particular sail date and experience level. If you need to know any particulars regarding stateroom locations and specifications,,Skier52, aka Pete,,is the go to guru on this board!!!

Thanks for the info guys. Hey Pete, if you see this please give insight. Thanks

The only thing I can add to EM's great information is to give you the sizes

and mention the fields of view

12146/9128/9118/9132/9134 are :-

192 sq. ft. ( 168 sq. ft. living area: 24 sq. ft. bathroom) with a balcony of 42 sq. ft.

12219 is 148 sq. ft. (124 living area; 24 sq. ft. bathroom) balcony 34 sq. ft.

12146 (and 12219 for that matter) has a full 180 degree field of view.

The others , by virtue of being in the recessed area, will have smaller fields of view, but not too limited as they are a reasonable distance from the hump wall.

MY order of desirability is

1st: 12146

2nd = 9128; 9132; 9134

5th 9118 (no bath and has a connecting door)

and a long way behind 12219 (it's very small)

Thanks so much for info on cabin choice. Booked 12146 as suggested. Dave

Yes, it has a "steel" "in hull" balcony,

other than that it is a standard cabin

192 sq. ft. (168 living area; 24 bathroom) balcony 42 sq. ft.

Hi Pete! You helped me with my first room 10014 which was forward with steel hull balcony on the Divina. My TA was able to move us more mid-ship as my 11 year old tends to get seasick a 10112. She said it was a better room. I imagine they are the same, other than location. Did I make a mistake?

Thank you yet again!!

Both are standard balcony rooms

10112 is slap bang in the middle of the recessed area , the best place in the recess, the views will be the largest field of view (~165 degrees) in the recess and best for having the minimum movement.

the only better ,mid-ships, cabins on deck 10 are on the central hump

these are numbers Starboard :- 10142/44/46/48/50/52/54 port side10157/59/61/63/65/67/69. this is because they have full 180 degree views.

The lower the number the better from a movement point of view.

So the field of view is good and the movement minimized, go for 10112 It has a plexiglass balcony

Done deal and thanks!!

Hi Skier52, What information do you have on Divina 12059? Would you recommend a different cabin in the Aurea Balcony selection?

Hi Skier52, What information do you have on Divina 12059? Would you recommend a different cabin in the Aurea Balcony selection?

I think that cabin is fine, the only observation I would make is that it is next to the lift entrance to the lift lobby. This may be considered a good thing for ease of access without long walks , particularly if you have mobility issues. Counter to this idea is that there could be more noise from inconsiderate guests as there is more footfall past the door.

So that is down to your personal likes/dislikes. Remembering that you can get noise outside any cabin door.

It's a standard balcony cabin

192 sq. ft. ( 168 living area; 24 bathroom) with a 42 sq. ft. balcony.

No overhang to worry about.

Hope this helps

Pete
