Skier 52 - Cabin Question

[Luckyone2]

HI Skier,

 

Can you tell me if cabin 13265 has a steel balcony?  When I look at the deck plans and photos of Seaside, I can't tell if the decorative sash on the rear of the Seaside goes in front of our balcony or not.  

 

Thank you,

\you are correct about 13265 having a metal decorative balcony

Pete,

 

When I look at the deck plans, I see that our cabin is 6 doors back from the aft.  I then compare it to the photo of Seaside which doesn't quite match up.  I then  found a video of aft cabin 14262 which shows when walking in and through the cabin and out the door, the aft cabin would be the first set of doors seen from the aft in the photo.  If this was true, that would place cabin 13265 on the other side of metal balcony.  I think what is confusing me is the visual difference between the deck plans and photo of Seaside.  I love researching my cruises.  Any balcony is plus but this one puzzled me, and I wanted your thoughts.  Thank you for your input!

Oh look our old Suite from last Xmas, poor video though ...

We are in Divina cabin 11261; I read somewhere that this is a hump cabin. Does anyone know what that means? Thanks!

It just means that you will be on the wider part of the ship and have better views forward and aft than the cabins on the narrower, recessed parts of the ship.

Hi, Just found out we have been moved from 11253 to 11247 on the Musica. Is there much of a difference ?

The major difference is the new cabin is next to the outside staircase so there is the possibility of people looking round the balcony wall to see what an aft balcony lo0oks like, so your privacy may be less.

 

other than that there will be no significant difference

Skier52 (Pete?)....I want to say after skimming thru this thread, I am very impressed with your ability to identify specific cabins on a photo of the ships.    I was very interested in what method you use to do this?   It seems to me, just using a deck plan would be rather difficult, except for some cabins clearly in some prominent position...

 

Thanks!

I do use a deck plan but I do have a good understanding of the smaller features such as watertight compaatments, H designated cabins which are wider than normal cabins, which show on the deck plan but also makes difference on the external features. Below are two images with the water tight compartment walls shown in RED and the H cabins in BLUE,

 

Then it is a case of counting in both directions to get the location of a specific cabin

 

Hope this satisfied your curiosity

Brilliant!

 

I have tried to do similar, by counting fore or aft from wider cabins or sometimes the 'bump-out', or the first or last...

I wasn't aware of the visible line from the water tight doors....thanks!👍

Hi Pete, are you able to give me your opinion on Room 15048 on the MSC Seaview?

Thank you!!!

I would say it's a cabin in a great position, on the hump, with uninterrupted views in all directions.

it is close to a bank of lifts, just far enough away so as not to be to troubled by noise, but close enough to be convenient to use them.

No overhang to worry about.

 

bunk bed or sofa for guests 3/4, if you have that many in your group.

 

All in all a very good position, if you don't have too many concerns about movement, as it is on a high deck

Thank you so much Pete!  We are very excited about the cruise - can't wait!

[pamkev]

I'm just starting to research cruises on MSC in the Yacht Club we usually sail Celebrity in a Sky suite so what cabin would be like that although we would consider a balcony. We like to be near a elevator and not have a public area above us Any cabin area we should stay away from.  I am not sure what ship/sailing yet just starting to gather info

 

Thanks for any info.

I should have said that you are below YC cabins so there should be minimal overhead noise

Hi Skier52,

New to MSC and was referred to your link with a question about MSC Seaside cabin 10182. It’s on deck 10 on the hump. My booking confirmation says Bathroom area 3.00mq with Bathtub. Is there really a bathtub in this type of B1 Balcony? Or is that how MSC indicates bathtub means shower?

thanks

Tom

[Essiesmom]

If it says bathtub, it probably has one.  Yes, Fantasia class and Seaside class do have tubs in some cabins.  We had a Bella balcony on Divina, with tub.  WE have a list of tub cabins on Divina, but noone has yet posted one for Seaside.  Cruisedeckplans has pics and video of 10201 with a tub.  EM

skier52 you re awesome...thank you very much

Skier, you appear to be the expert on room questions. I am booked in room #14237 on the Seaside in a couple weeks. Some maps show this as a regular balcony room, and some show it bigger than others. Do you happen to know if it is in fact larger?

[boontj2003]

Skier52, I have lurked all over and cant find an answer. We booked blind room 9103 balcony on Seaside. Will we have a glass balcony? Ridiculous question but I really love to look out at the ocean! Thanks!
