JuneauWhatIMean Posted August 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thank you for doing this Pete! (And Mike;)) :) I've been trying to find a photo you once posted of the exterior of the Divina YC cabins. I have one of the 'fat' YC1's booked, port side, and you had a great photo of the balconies. I think it was a post where you were helping someone with a sheltered balcony. I remember you had the red X's on the pics that they were concerned about. Unfortunately I got a new computer and lost my old bookmarks. Any chance you could find it again? I covet YC porn shots. :p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVACTION Posted August 26, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Pete, Do you know if 16029 on MSC Fantasia is the same size balcony? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseJMO Posted August 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2015 These are great. Thanks for the thread! I don't understand why CC doesn't organize photos like these into their gallery. Maybe I just don't know how to use their gallery correctly, but it seems to be such a mess! 😧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted August 26, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Pete, Do you know if 16029 on MSC Fantasia is the same size balcony? Thanks in advance Same size as what? I assume you mean the larger YC1 balcony, in which case the answer is NO 16029 is the standard size YC1 cabin and balcony Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoflyers Posted August 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Pete, First, thank you for all the time spent responding to MSC cabin questions. The service you've provided is invaluable! I'm getting conflicting information concerning a Divina cabin assignment. MSC has told me that cabin 9073 is not a metal hull balcony. But looking at some of the pictures you've provided, it appears to be. Can you clear this up for me before final payment? TVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelwide Posted August 27, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Oh well. I guess a chair will do. Would love to have the chaise lounge shown in the picture for deck 10 further down in the posts. Do you know which room in category on Deck 10 get lounge chairs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at some of the pictures you've provided, it appears to be. Can you clear this up for me before final payment? TVM Certainly if you look at the first image of Preziosa you will see that ALL balconies on deck 9 on the front hump are steel highlighted in RED. this is true for Divina as well. But if you look at the 2nd image of Splendida you can see that there are a lot less steel balconies in total. this is the same on Fantasia. So there are two types of design with the first 2 ships built having fewer steel balconies. This is where the confusion arises and the MSC staff aren't fully trained on the differences between Splendida / Fantasia and Divina/ Preziosa Your cabin will definitely have a steel balcony as I said earlier Preziosa (identical to divina) NB I haven't missed deck 17 ! It does not exist because of Italian superstition) Splendida Here is an image of Divina with the "EXTRA" steel balconies highlighted in RED hope this is clear for you. please feel free to down load the images and use them to convince any doubting MSC staff that I am correct.

Skier52 Posted August 27, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Oh well. I guess a chair will do. Would love to have the chaise lounge shown in the picture for deck 10 further down in the posts. Do you know which room in category on Deck 10 get lounge chairs?? The lounge chairs are put there by request, but you have to ask the right person. Your cabin steward will probably say it's not allowed, you may need to go to the top ie the hotel director to get one if your balcony can take one. It is probably only viable on the aft decks 10 and 11 and the larger corner balconies next to the hump walls. Some of the "H" cabins will probably take them and some of the YC suites will. It's not down to any particular room category. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureencruiser Posted August 28, 2015 #25 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I recently upgraded from an inside to an aft deck 10 balcony. While searching to see if I could find pictures or video, I came across this. The poster also posted a tour of his room, 11270, but, here is a good look at the balcony, specifically.
