roberttz Posted August 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hello first time on MSC (multiple Carnival and RCI). Some questions about my upcoming cruise... I have booked the balcony cabin 13134. I believe it is a category B3. Not knowing how big the cabin is... Is there a storage under the bed to put away suite case? 2 ppl, 2 suite cases (NOT a carry-On, checked in size). On the Ocean Cay stop, they have snorkel rental. Is there a good snorkel spot off the beach or they take you via small boat? Never been to Costa Maya. Does the ship dock or you have to take the tender? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingFox27 Posted August 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Plenty of storage under the bed on every ship we've sailed. We had 3 full size suitcases and 2 cabin bags under ours on our Meraviglia sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 2 weeks before you (25th-3). I did pick this cabin so it faces Ocean Cay when docked. Thanks for the videos, looks like my room is almost same location 2 floors above.

(Carnival allows this). We only use 4-5 cans during whole trip. I might just buy few on the ship if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If as your first post says B3 then it would be Aurea, MSC do not allow drinks to be taken onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, My mistake I should have said B2. I know for a fact it's Fantastica experience... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
