Até Posted August 27, 2020 #827 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks for finding that, it answers some questions I had. I was wondering if those aft facing cabins were shorter in length than typical balcony cabins but they appear to be the same. They are all shorter than the typical cabin on Fantasia, Seaside and Meraviglia class. The balcony on deck 11 aft facing is pretty much the same size as the typical side facing balcony cabins. I don't like the shower curtains. Still, a great assignment for a GTY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokeyjane Posted December 31, 2020 #830 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi! Thoughts on Meraviglia, 4 people. 13150 which is the longer balcony by the bump or an aft (12263, 13255 or 12253)? Looking for space of room and balcony, not so concerned with location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stockjock Posted February 20, 2021 #832 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Do you have any thoughts or opinion on 10244 (aft balcony) on Magnifica? After posting I found a deck plan that makes it appear that this cabin has some obstruction from a steel wall. Correct?

Correct? this is the outside view of the cabin which does show a steel wall on the side but i don't think it is as bad as you may suspect but i've noticed that the deck plan seems to suggest that the balcony is not square but tapers in to the curve of the the steel wall as shown by the "blue" area in the image below and this may indicate a smaller balcony area than would be normal. This is an educated guess. hope this helps Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRom the image Here i would say the field of view is limited and obstructed with regard to the definition and without the red square for clearer image of the balcony on the deck plan MSC provide does not look as if it is obstructed, nor is it defined as such see answer re 10242 above I hope this helps a bit, but the idea of "obstructed " means different things to different people.

boogybaby Posted February 25, 2021 #837 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thanks Pete, I do think it will be obstructed but MSC won’t budge it’s sad because it’s our first suite and others are available. Lesson learned in future I don’t pay until I’m happy with the allocation. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the images below it is easy to see that the only problem is the steel of the hull in the top left, as viewed from outside the ship; which I don't think will block much of the view unless you are very tall. It may make it a bit less sunny on parts of the balcony, or to put it another way it will provide much needed shady areas. Don't stress too much about it.

You have one of the nicest cabins on the ship. When the ship first commissioned your cabin was a YACHT CLUB cabin, THe YC has since been downgraded on this ship. Look forward to your cruise and have a great time and enjoy it PETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no direct experience of inside cabins on MSC. However looking on the deck plans you will see that you are in a group of 13 cabins, 4 inside and 9 balconies, with no less than 5 exits from that area (stairs; lifts; entrance to the Top Sail Lounge(TSL); and 2 exits the concierge area). So given that there will be only approx 26 guests using these routes. I would not expect noise from other guests to be an issue. There may be a limited amount of music coming from the entertainment in the TSL. The real point is it is difficult to find a bad area of the YTC, except deck 17,(lol). so I think you have nothing to worry about,so just plan to have a great cruise, will be even more fun if you get to use deck 17. finding the entrance is on a par with finding platform 12 and 3/4 for the Hogwarts Express .

Rare Stockjock Posted March 18, 2021 #849 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Booked a Bella balcony cabin 8094 on Grandiosa. I don't think it showed as obstructed during booking, but the confirm shows that it's obstructed with a lifeboat. Do you have any more info on this cabin? How obstructed is it? Would it be better to move up to a smaller, unobstructed Bella, or pony up another $300 or so for an unobstructed Fantastica? Thanks in advance!

I'be only been able to find a picture of the view frim a deck 8 ocean view cabin, can't find one of a deck 8 balcony. I would expect the view to be similar, except he lifeboat, (about level with the bottom of the glass panel of the balcony ) would ne afw feet away as there is probably a walkway beneath your cabin. This is true of the ship I know well Divina. see image. I can't advise you on the upgrades you mention except that you say need to consider 1) how many sea days have you? 2) How much use will you make of a balcony on a port day? 3) Do you stay aboard or visit the area? Personally I would upgrade to a Fantastica cabin as we tend to only do half days off the ship and use the balcony whilst on board. So you need to work out how you actually use the balcony nsed n at least those questions above I'd also see what has been removed from Fantastica to create Bella. It used to mean that sometimes Dinner was served in the Buffet for Bella, albeit in a designated area with full waiter service. and delivery charges on room service. i'm not an expert on the newer ships but have a good knowledge of where to find good factual information and at creating cabin location images.
