Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks There are lifeboats that will limit your view. if you had thought about making the balconies link you will be disappointed as they are not next door to each other. there is 8134 in between This is where your cabins are located as seen from the outside of the ship I hope this helps Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to go up the ship every deck? Also anything else i should have issue with? Should be just normal balcony? Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to worry about, they are the Special Needs cabins which are 50% wider but have the same size balcony doors, so the white is extra wall required for those cabins. They are designated "H" on deck plans. They have wider balconies as well. here is an image of an H balcony and you can clearly see the extra white wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Scarlett Posted October 19, 2019 #730 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I am looking at booking a Bella balcony on the Seaside. There are a couple of cabins on deck 11 at the back, near the front and back and hump on deck 10. What would be more favourable? Any information?

Lookn4Sun Posted October 19, 2019 #731 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hi Pete - I'm in 13342 on the Meraviglia. It and 13245, 14213 and 14256 are aft facing, but look to have a small balcony - and may even be slightly enclosed ... I've tried enlarging photos, but still can't figure out the balcony size/shape. Any insights? TIA .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the deck plans you can see that all the Bella cabins on the front or back of deck 10 and the rear of deck 11 are metal or metal/glass balustrades as shown on the key to the deck plans The grey infill of the metal balconies is very hard to see, a trick by MSC to disguise the,m The relevant part of the key THE RELEVENT PARTS OF THE DECK PLAN DECK 10 FRONT all the Bella cabins are marked as metal balconies 10004 to 10029 DECK 10 REAR CABINS 10260; 10262; 10269;10271 all marked as metal balconies DECK 11 REAR cabins 11260; 11269 are partial metal cabins 11258; 11262; 11267; 11271 are metal here is an outside view of the ship with the relevant areas highlighted so IMHO I would go for a cabin on the hump and avoid having a metal balcony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip28 Posted October 21, 2019 #735 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi You kindly gave us information on ours and our friend's cabin selection on Preziosa (9230/9232) which was fine and we were happy with, but MSC have now changed our cabins to 13043 & 13028 - apparently this is a upgrade as these are Aurea cabins (although we don't know if we will get the Aurea benefits - we are currently Fantastica). We are a little concerned as these cabins are nearer to the front of the ship and as they are on the 13th deck will there be an overhang blocking out any sunshine or any overhead noise? I should be grateful if you could let me know if this is the case. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 21, 2019 #736 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Those cabins are forward of the deck 14 overhang, which starts with cabins 13049/13052. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCityMark Posted October 26, 2019 #737 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi Pete! I really appreciate all the cabin info you provide to others. I was hoping you could now help me out. We are sailing on the Meraviglia next year and want an aft balcony cabin. Every diagram I see online looks like the 13th level aft balconies are smaller (don't extend out as far) as the balconies on the the 10th, 11th, or 12th levels and may be smaller. Can you confirm whether or not this is the case please? Also, the balcony for cabin 13253 looks to be larger than its neighbor 13255, is it a bit wider? Here is the list of cabins I am looking at booking, any pros or cons on them would be very appreciated..... 13249, 13253, 13255, 12263, 12350, 12342, 11265, 11380 Thank you so much!

Mark I ve been able to get info on cabins 13253 and 13255.. 13253 is part of a family complex and indeed does have a larger balcony I wonder whether it is only available to guests who are making a family booking . here is the info 13255 13253 I haven't been able to get any info ,of the same kind, on any other cabin you mention I'll try again a bit later for more info for you pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptuno Posted October 27, 2019 #739 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Speaking of aft cabins on Meraviglia, center aft cabin 12352 appears a bit narrower than its two neighbors on the deck plans. Could this actually be correct? Center aft cabins on other decks appear a bit narrower as well. Are individual cabin dimensions published anywhere?

This correct as the aft cabins have family complexes on them and these have different size and width cabins , so the balconies are different widths as well / I don't know anywhere that quotes all the cabin dimensions but look at the post above yours to see how the balcony sizes are on deck 13 Yours choice would be similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted October 27, 2019 #741 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) We visited an aft cabin on our Meraviglia cabin crawl, I can't recall the exact deck but we were very impressed with the balcony size.

What do you think about the balconies on the 13th level vs. the 12th and 11th levels? Looking at the diagrams, it looks as though the balconies don't extend as far out on the 13th level.

Thanks again - Mark Here is an image of the stern and if you look carefully at the profiles of the balcony dividers you get a good idea of the balcony depths/ I would say the balconies get progressively shallower as you go up through the decks . As a generality deck plans are usually pretty much to scale and so you can have a modicum of faith in the type of asumtion you make Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCityMark Posted October 28, 2019 #744 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Pete, thanks for all the great info. With your help I have booked an aft balcony room. Just as a sidenote, I called MSC today before I booked and asked if the balconies on the higher decks did not extend out as far as those on the lower and was told that they are all the same depth and that it is just a graphic issue on the diagrams. Hope this is true! Thanks again for all the help and info, it really is greatly appreciated! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any issues with this cabin. the balcony will be a standard YC 2 balcony. it will have a good view into the flying bridge which can be interesting when maneuvering in port. I've included a foot print of this type of cabin. I think you will be just fine I this cabin and have a very enjoyable cruise.
