rance Posted March 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just noticed we are moved to 11255 on Divina. Do these cabins that are recessed receive any sunlight? Also looks like view is limited to straight ahead. Does anyone have any feedback? Thanks Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Forums mobile app As you can see from the image your cabin will be affected by the shadow from the overhang of deck 14 when the sun is high in the sky; ie the middle of the day, but at other times there should be sun on your balcony if the ship is facing the right way. Your correct about the limited , but mnot too muvh when looking towards the stern Here's a close up of your cabin , marked with the arrrow. Hope this is the info you wanted Pete Edited March 15, 2014 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted March 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Sorry I mistyped the cabin number on the image it should be 11255 NOT 12155 Edited March 16, 2014 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you show me exactly where my cabin 11151 is located, as it is also a balcony cabin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetrail Posted March 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You can tell from this photo from "How I was trying to cruise on MSC Divina..." 11151 is few cabins forward. Look at 11161 (Splendida sister ship) - basically same location, same position vs the overhang and lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at 11161 (Splendida sister ship) - basically same location, same position vs the overhang and lifeboats. The two ships may be sister ships but the size and position of the centre hump is significantly different. Some people may not realize that, and it does make a difference to the field of view you get in the aft recess In this instance is makes little difference here are the deck plans for deck 11 side by side.

cruisetrail Posted March 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Yes, deck plans are different. I payed special attention to that in my research: from post #153 and on... Differences are not limited to the hump part. As to 11151 - this part is the same on both ships. Edited March 18, 2014 by cruisetrail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cabin have a sofa and table inside it.... is the cabin in a good area...also one more question...i noticed that this is a connecting cabin.... will the size of the room be smaller....or will it be a normal size? cabin number 11151 is in a good position in that it has cabins above below and to either side, so no "white" areas on the deck plan or public areas that may be the source of noise. It is nicely located with regard to lifts not to close to get a lot of noise but convienent for use. It does have a connecting door which does not affect the size but will affect the way you can position furniture, and may also lead to a modicum of unwanted intrusive noise from next door. It may suffer from the shadow from the deck 14 overhang when the sun is high in the sky. Having said all this I would happily have this cabin if the price was accecptable to me foir that grade.

mom2tcdx2 Posted March 24, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Wow, these photos are great. Will let me show my sister her cabin which I believe was 10233 and mine is 10235, with our parents having 10221. I can't quite get their cabin in the photo, but helps to give them a good idea.

urkidn Posted March 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2014 We had cabin 11259 last week and I did not see any direct sun on the balcony until day 5 when we headed back from San Juan and that was limited to late afternoon when the sun fell below the overhang. I wasn't there every second of every day but I checked it often as I would much prefer to catch a few rays there than on the overcrowded pool decks.

bren51 Posted March 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 25, 2014 We booked today and chose cabin 11183. Is this in a good location. It looked like it was on the bump out part of the ship. Is there a difference between a B2 and B3 cat. Thanks Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a difference between a B2 and B3 cat. Thanks Brenda from the point of view of the overhang from deck 14 the position is good, However it is very close to the lifts. Some would say this was good as it is convenient especially if you have mobility problems, others will worry about the amount of noise from guests exiting the lifts at night and going to the lifts in the early morning. I'll leave the difference between B2 and B3 cat. to someone else who has been in that type, but I believe the B3 have an area for a sofa which the B2s don't have and by that token are slightly larger, but I may be wrong.

pat767 Posted July 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Hi! Don't mean to hijack the thread, but it's our first time with MSC. Could you please get us a picture to locate stateroom 10210? We got this cabin through their "Deals to Sea" promo this weekend. It was initially a B1 GTY upon purchase and we ended up with 10210 (supposedly B2).
