9177, 9181, 9185 belong to the same category: small balcony cabins on the hump.

Detailed review: MSC DIVINA CONFIDENTIAL, Page 5

 

 

 

March sail 9181...no couch correct? What does it mean to be on the hump?

Hi all,

The booking we are looking at for B2 cabins only shows us here in Portugal 5 cabins available, all in deck 10. Is this possible more than 9 months before sailing? Does anyone gey more choices in other countries? Our sailing is on 30th September from Barcelona (10 night roundtrip).

Thank you.

The UK doesn't show that cruise, instead it shows embarkations at Naples and Civitavecchiaon the 25 and 26th sept 15 and they are showing as "SOLD OUT"

 

 

 

 

this is typical of MSC. tHey do it to fit in with air transport arrangements

 

Pete

 

 

PS have you seen my reply as to why my points in the MSC club appear to not add up?

Thank you very much.

 

I've seen your explanation about the points. Well done. Hope to be blaxk one day...

 

I'll try to see if I can get a better cabin from here. Do you advise any in particular?

GRAB 10273 or 10275 or 10277 or 10279

 

They have huge balconies, 118 sq ft, as they are on the stern.

bUt they are a long walk to the theatre and some other amenities so not ideal for people with mobility problems

 

next best 11108,(connected to) 11110 or 10135,(connected to) 10137

all have connecting doors which may have noise issues, unless you want connected cabins then they are great

 

 

 

Avoid 10147, 10149 they have connecting doors and are too close to the hump wall.

Those cabins keep not showing here in Portugal. Maybe because they only have a few for the Barcelona departure...

 

Can I ask you a favour: could you do a dummy booking for the Rome departure on the 26th September for 2 adults and a child (4yo) in a Fantastica Balcony to check the price and to see if I can call my TA so that he can try to pressure from here...

 

Thank you again.

I have to arrange a way that my TA can book with those options.

Better departure date for us, better cabins choice and better price...

 

Than you very much Pete.

[Bracarense]

Jusr found out yesterday that I can buy from vivavoyage.co.uk. There price for my cruise is almost 20% less than buyong here in Portugal. Do you recommend them? My wife is a little bit cautious because it might not be easy to handle any problem that might come up as we are a little bit far away from UK.

 

Thank you all.

I have not had any dealings with vivavoyage, but they are a well known TA in the UK

 

Would you deal with them in any different way than a local TA?

 

I would expect to use email for all dealings with any TA I deal with, and as such would use them if they were offering the best deal

[Bracarense]

Always present and always heloful. Thank you very much Pete. I'll probably book with them.

 

Merry Christmas to you and all.

The best cabin is 11181 as it is on the corner of the central hump , next best is 11183 then 11185 in that order as the distance from the lift area decreases and with it the chance of increasd noise from guests using the lifrs. All are 192 sq ft (168 living ; 24 bathroom) with a 42 sq ft balcony.

 

 

Next best are the ones on the front hump 11025/7/9/33/41 with the higher numbers having less movement than the lower numbers,

 

 

then just about equal with the front hump cabins are the cabins on the stern (which may have some movement but not too much as they are lower than the cabins on deck 11) 9267/68/69/71/73/75/76, they are all standard cabins 192 sq ft, not sure of the balcony size but I think they are the standad 42 sq ft.

 

9220 is a standard cabin but in the rear recess area and will have limited fields of view and is the least desirable of the 192 sq ft cabins

 

Finally there are the cabins 9185/9193/9201 which are small balcony cabins 148 sq ft with a 34 sq ft balcony. These may have a cost advantage over the 192 sq ft balconies
