Divina Questions

We sailed on Seaside last month and enjoyed our experience well enough (see my largely glowing trip review) that we are now considering another MSC cruise, this time on Divina. A few questions for those who are familiar with Divina:

1. How deep are the pools? On Seaside they were all too deep for me/over my head, and we really missed chilling in the pool. Looking at Divina pics suggest the pools may be more comparable to other lines in the 4-5 foot range, but I can't really tell.

2. We did Aurea experience on Seaside and would do it again on Divina. Does the Aurea Top 18 deck have a dedicated bar like Seaside did for its Aurea section? I can't tell from deck plans.

3. We loved the thermal spa on Seaside and went there a bunch of days. I know Seaside's is probably nicer because it's a brand new ship, but how does it compare to Divina's thermal spa? Frankly this was my first experience ever (on 13 prior cruises) in a spa, so I have no idea if they're basically all the same or very different.

4. With anytime dining on Seaside, we were seated every night just the two of us for dinner. Would that be the norm on Divina as well? And which dining room/section would we be served?

5. The numerous Venchi options were awesome on Seaside, but I'm not seeing them anywhere in Divina deck plans. Where do we go to get our gelato fix?

For anyone who's already been on both Seaside/Divina, feel free to share any other comparisons that might help us decide on Divina. Thanks!

The pool in the back OFF the ship on deck 15 is not deep. It is a fantastic pool, you Will love it. There are Gelato in the pool bar by the pool in the middle of the ship on deck 14 and in the bar on deck 6 just before the casino. Very Nice gelato.

The Aurea sun deck doesn't have a bar. I'm also booked on the Divina, for the 2nd time. Absolutely loved the ship. 12 day cruise in Nov.

The Top 18 solarium does have a small bar facility, it does only serve a limited selection of drinks.

We only ever sat at a table for 2 when we sailed on Divina, located in the Black Crab restaurant on deck 5.
