Seaside Deck 17?

[Av8tor]

Is there a deck 17 on seaside?  The deck plans on MSC website don't show a deck 17,  just 16 then 18.  From the photos of SS, it looks like the forward cabin windows on the uppermost deck (YC - 18?) are the same as the deck right below (YC - 16?).  Based on that, I think there is no deck 17, but if not, why skip 17 in the numbering?  I know some ships & building skip 13 in their numberinmg, but I've never seen 17 skipped...

 

Thanks

As 13 is our superstitious number, 17 is the superstitious number for Italians.  So there is no deck 17, and no cabin number with 17 in it.  EM

Thanks for that, I did not know about that Italian superstition...

Its much like Station 9 3/4 in King's Cross.  You just have to find it

And yes, I know its Platform 9 3/4, but I can't edit the post anymore.

the superstition is: The Roman numerals for 17 are XVII

 

if you anagram XVII you can get VIXI  which can be translated as " I have lived" which can be interpreted as "I'M DEAD" because I have lived and are living no more

Except for Armonia which does have cabins with 17 in the number
