Ljoy Posted August 7, 2021 #876 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hi I booked Divina Fantastica Cabin 9132 I noticed afterwards that it has a bathtub instead of a shower Does this take away from the size of the main cabin? Is there still a sofa or just a chair? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 8, 2021 #877 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Chair. No sofa. Not a problem for us. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bundtkate Posted August 10, 2021 #880 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I ended up here in my epic quest to find info about the deck 9 aft-facing balconies on Meraviglia. I've seen a fair bit about 10-13, but info on deck 9 seems lacking. It looks like they're shallower balconies (despite the lower deck). I also see there's what looks like the carousel lounge sticks out a bit right below deck 9 and might partially obstruct views, but it's really tough to tell based on photos I've seen. Any thoughts on those would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted August 10, 2021 #881 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The deck nine aft facing balcony is about the same size as a regular balcony. The Carousel lounge below has/had the Cirque shows which didn't run late into the night, it's a fairly underutilized area. The worst thing to me is that those nearby stairs and elevators are for staff only. It's a very long walk to the mid-ship elevators/stairs.

It's a very long walk to the mid-ship elevators/stairs. If that's the worst, I'll take it. I don't mind the walk at all and, honest, kind of prefer being away from the bustle. We're night owls and later risers so having some distance between us and the elevators is kind of nice. Thanks for the insights! Any thoughts on whether the carousel lounge impedes the view of the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not sailed Meraviglia in an aft facing, but the Carousel lounge does stick out a bit like a fat belt. I really don't think that will make much of a difference to the overall outward view.

slk1000 Posted September 21, 2021 #884 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hello. I was hoping for some guidance. I booked Bella balcony cabin 10050 on the Meraviglia. I just got my tickets and I've been changed to cabin 10082. Even though it's a Fantastica balcony I don't get the extra perks just the room change. It looks to me like this is actually a downgrade because I'm no longer on the hump and I'm afraid that being only 5 cabins from the hump I'll have some obstruction and also less sun. Also, I think 10050 has a larger balcony. If you could offer me any insight I would appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisequeenbella Posted June 8, 2022 #886 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi we stayed in cabin 18009 at end of May on Virtuoso had no issues with noise really, and would pick that room again, yacht club was amazing 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coscab Posted September 1, 2022 #887 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Is there any way to tell which aft facing balconies on Deck 11 and 12 on Meraviglia have the bed next to the balcony, any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a pattern, well you can hopefully figure out others on 11 from there. You can find my (very brief) rundown of that specific cabin here. Edit: And it looks like you already saw that so definitely no help. Sorry! 🙈 Edited September 1, 2022 by bundtkate Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check there (didn't join though) before making my cabin choice, searched online for a video, asked my TA. The reason I wrote here is that I got different info from my TA/MSC re: my 10160 cabin. The video I researched showed cabin 10160 with bed by balcony, but my TA called MSC and was told this cabin definitely had a sofa by the balcony.

coscab Posted September 2, 2022 #894 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Thank you all for replies, I also checked cruisedeck plans, was able to verify those, I am going to call and try to switch to one of those from 11273. Wishing Skier 52 the best, such a helpful member of cruise critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coscab Posted September 2, 2022 #895 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I switched from 11273 to 11269, took a chance that the pic online is correct, it has a bathtub, I would prefer just a shower, but the bathtub might have something to do with the configuration of the room.

I also had this thought when I saw thread come live again. Oh Pete, our thoughts are still with you and your grandson. I know the prognosis was not good and my heart hurt for you and your family. Just know you are remembered for all your incredible work , helping other cruisers with their many questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to tell how to choose sofa by balcony on that ship? Go with the video. Your agent should have known that the phone reps at MSC have no way of knowing which cabins are in what configuration and most likely relied on a generic picture for that category. As an agent that has dealt with MSC for over 14 years, I learned the hard way. Bret 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted October 16, 2022 #898 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Does anybody have any experience with cabin 15028 in the MSC Fantasia? It is above the Aurea Spa and I wonder if one can hear the noises of the gym. I hope Skier 52 is doing well. Ivi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conventional wisdom is that being above the spa area is not noisy; being below it is. 2. Your cabin appears to be above the beauty salon. You might find the drag deck feature of cruisedeckplans.com to be of interest. EM Edited October 16, 2022 by Essiesmom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
