Joe19fan Posted May 28, 2018 #502 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Pete, I'm so glad I found this thread, you are a wealth of information! We are doing our first cruise on the MSC Divina in January, and are in Stateroom 8901. Can you give me an idea of what to expect? We have cruised numerous times, never on MSC.

I presume that is a typo as 8901 doesn't exist. that would be cabin 901 on deck 8. you'd need a ship about 2 miles long to get that many cabins on one deck :D let me have the correct number please Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much. This will be our 1st cruise on MSC. You have a cabin in a fabulous location on the corner of the hump. though it is not marked as a 3/4 berth, so I wonder what you will have for your 2 yr old to sleep on. is a standard balcony cabin so should be 192 sq. ft. ( 168 living area; 24 bathroom) with a 42 sq. ft. balcony. It is very close to the central bank of lifts so getting around the ship should be easy, this does carry the risk of noise from inconsiderate guest So, as long as the sleeping arrangements for your daughter are satisfactory you have one of the best Fantastica balcony cabins there is IMHO Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenofEverything Posted June 20, 2018 #507 Share Posted June 20, 2018 How can you tell if a cabin has a shower or a tub? We recently booked the Meraviglia cabin 14069. Nothing indicated on the deck plan. When we got our confirmation it says we have a "bathtube". I don't want that if it reduces the size of the bedroom part of the cabin. Also, does it mean no couch?

Cruisiesusie05 Posted June 21, 2018 #508 Share Posted June 21, 2018 You have a cabin on one of my favourite places to be on a ship, (ours too)The Stern, in what I would call an "Aft Balcony Cabin". These cabins often have much larger balconies than a standard balcony cabin. I've included a view of your cabin, circled in red, and it can clearly been seen that the balcony is bigger than the others on the stern. I've marked the length of the partition walls on the left of the image for you. This is backed up by looking at the deck plans, which are usually fairly accurate when it comes to scale, in that they have drawn the balconies as larger than the others. I would be delighted with the location you have. Pete Hi Pete, I'm so glad I found this thread, you are a wealth of information and your information regarding a previous question has just got me very excited about my cruise yet again! We are sailing on the MSC Magnifica in September, we are in Stateroom 10236. Any chance of sq footage please? We have cruised numerous times, but so far we are MSC virgins?

Sue :ship: My info puts the cabin at 195 sq. ft. I guess the bathroom is 24 - 30 sq ft leaving 165 to 171 sq ft for living area the balcony will be significantly bigger than standard I am booked into 10247 for the repo from UK to Genoa, so I'll be interested to hear what you think of your cabin as mine will be exactly the same.

Skier52 Posted June 22, 2018 #512 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Anyone know? The size of the bathroom is increased from 24 sq ft . to 33 sq ft. there is no way to tell if a cabin has a bathroom unless you have access to the TA list of cabin dimensions or you find a post from someone who has had that cabin before and been given the dimensions in their booking Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phissy Posted July 10, 2018 #514 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Pete, we just booked MSC Meraviglia YC1. Cabin 15004. How is the view from the balcony. wondering if it is obstructed? Thank you so much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted July 10, 2018 #515 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Pete, we just booked MSC Meraviglia YC1. Cabin 15004. How is the view from the balcony. wondering if it is obstructed? Thank you so much . The view looks as though you have a metal windshield as the lower part of the balcony surround. (possibly glass for the upper part. the royal suites on the corners definitely have a glass upper screen https://www.msccruises.co.uk/en-gb/Discover-MSC/Cruise-Ships/MSC-Meraviglia/Cabin-And-Suites.aspx have a look at the virtual 360 degree on the above link ) Quite how that affects the view I'm not sure, but I have read that it makes the balcony more usable than the equivalent balconies on Fantasia class ships, in that it reduces the wind blowing onto the balcony when cruising. I have no first hand knowledge of that fact so I'm not in a position to state is true. here is an external view with the area where you balcony is highlighted. you can judge for yourself how the view may be affected in comparison to the side facing balconies. i'm sorry I can't be more specific in my answer Pete Edited July 10, 2018 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
