Skier52 Posted May 16, 2019 #651 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Quote Hi, Could you give advice on cabin 8208 on Meraviglia, I know is a bigger balcony, but is the view too obstructed? 14 hours ago, Grapta said: Hi, Can you compare 8208 and 8148 on Meraviglia , which one is better located? 8208 is located in a recessed area as against 8148 being on the hump. So 8148 is IMHO much better location with regard to having a much better view, and from the image I suspect 8208 has a lifeboat in just below or partially in front of it. I hope this is of value to you Pete Edited May 16, 2019 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamblinmon Posted May 16, 2019 #652 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Skier 52, do you know what the space is next to cabin 12149 on the Meraviglia. It's a white square on the deck plans. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance looking at where it is on the ship ie at the front of the middle hump and the fact that it does not extend down or up any decks , I suspect it is a store room or room with machinery such as electrical transformers/distribution boards or a calorifier. It could be anything except a flue from the engines as they go through all the decks but this is a best guess Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie55 Posted July 11, 2019 #656 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Asking about deck cabins. I checked online for bella and it a guarantee inside cabin.. I then checked the fan. inside cabin and could pick 15046, 15067,15076 or 14146,14120, 14069, or 13122H, 13106,13086H Any level better than the other? The 15046 is by itself and by stairs I think..... Should I do guarantee or try 15046 or another. Opinion is very appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 12, 2019 #657 Share Posted July 12, 2019 H cabins are handicap accessible. Shouldn't be booked unless you need it, although they are sometimes assigned as guarantee. I am assuming that this is on Seaside or Seaview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15046 is by itself and by stairs I think..... Should I do guarantee or try 15046 or another. Opinion is very appreciated the name of the ship would help a great deal the level of experience depends on whether you will be using room service or not and whether dining times are factor for you. if neither is important then bella is probably the way to go if it is a lot cheaper than fantastica, if it is marginal then fantastica would be my choice. Other than that a guarantee cabin is a gamble on location and could be near a major noise source such as above aloud bar or next to a crew stairwell. YOu could be lucky and get upgraded to an OV or balcony if you go for guarantee which you possibly wont if you go for a specific cabin. try to avoid an H cabin as these are required for special needs guests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColdCruise Posted July 14, 2019 #659 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hello Skier Pete, This is a great thread - having read 27 pages, I’m amazed at some of the detail you pull out from photos and diagrams! Also your comments have pointed. Out things I never considered as affecting cabin enjoyment, such as shading. Would you please share your insights on Armonia cabin 10014? It is an Aurea Suite, although the cabin looks no different in size and configuration from the Fantasia balconies.however the difference in price was negligible and comes with the priority boarding, spa access and a massage - the latter 2 alone cost more than the upgrade. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! the cabin is the same size as an ordinary balcony cabin, the Aurea suites on deck 12 are the larger cabins. but the position you have would be one I would choose as it is below the spa so overhead noise will be minimal (incidentally the Aurea suites on deck 12 suffer from overhead noise from the sunbeds being put out each morning , early, on the sundeck ) it is close to the lifts and I wouldn't expect noise to be an issue as there are only six cabins past yours so footfall past your door should be light. are you sure you get the free massage ? It appears to have been dropped from the Aurea packages on recent booking pages I've looked at. Instead it says "Spa benefits" and is only £40 GBP pp (approx. $50 USD) extra for a 7 night cruise.

Thank you for confirming our decision to book 1014 vice one on the 12th deck (although larger is nicer, as a light sleeper.....). However I’ll keep the larger cabin in mind. Our upgrade from a Fantastica balcony to Aurea suite S3 was US $120pp, so quite a bit more than your British price. We booked ver the phone with the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogfog Posted August 28, 2019 #671 Share Posted August 28, 2019 @Skier52 Pete This is quite a thread and lovely of you to be of such service. I searched the thread several times and don't see this--as o not be a repeat question. Have booked 15024 for B2B on Merviglia. New to this ship. Did we choose ok or should we move? Any overhang issues? Noise from the hall? We tried to decipher the plans and what may be crew space/crew storage/closets that would be noisy.

Any overhang issues? Noise from the hall? We tried to decipher the plans and what may be crew space/crew storage/closets that would be noisy. Thank you for your opinion/information 1}There are no overhang issues with this cabin. 2) As the cabin is adjacent to the lift lobby for the YC it could be an area with slightly elevated noise issues as compared to the rest of the YC. however the YC is very quiet in its own right, as guest seems to cherish the tranquillity and respect that others do so as well.( That is my experience of the YC on European cruises) 3) As with all deck plans "White Spaces" are a mystery unless you have first hand knowledge. When I was in the YC on Merviglia I was not aware of any White Space noise. I would say that there may be a small reason to move; see 1), but only if you really think that approximately 30 other guests moving past your cabin, (which I suspect you will only occupy for 25 - 35 % of the day), would be a problem for you, bearing in mind that most cabins will have some guests walking past,. Other than that enjoy the cruise, if you want to read my review of a cruise in the YC of Meraviglia you can follow the link below http://www.cruisingmates.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=270&t=12438 Pete Edited August 28, 2019 by Skier52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to add that Seaside deck plans show which balconies are enclosed hull type or otherwise obstructed by their shading on the plans. Also note that those two connecting cabins are directly above the frequently used smoking area on the promenade right outside the Seaside lounge, formerly the News Cafe.
