Yurita Posted September 25, 2015 #76 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Any idea about itineraries? Would they be similar to Divina or a bit more variety than the repetitive Eastern/Western routes? We would love to do like a South Caribbean / Bermuda from Ft. Lauderdale and/or Panama canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted September 27, 2015 #77 Share Posted September 27, 2015 To my surprise the Meraviglia will have inside singles in the yacht club ( I booked one). Has anyone read anything about single cabins on the Seaside? I hope to sail Seaside on her first Caribbean sailing.....in the yacht club if there is a single category, or if not then a balcony high in the stern area.I called MSC and cracked up when told if the Meraviglia has them (single inside yacht blub cabins), then the Seaside will as the ships are identical. So much for info over the phone. So any updates on Seaside? I'm sure Mike will chime in when he has info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they will release the deck plans soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguyinorl Posted September 30, 2015 #79 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Any idea about itineraries? Would they be similar to Divina or a bit more variety than the repetitive Eastern/Western routes? Yurita, According to a presentation I attended last week, the Seaside will take over the Divina's itineraries of east/west Caribbean. The Divina will then do a bit more exotic ones. However, as most things with MSC, that remains to be seen. ;) Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimletgal Posted October 5, 2015 #82 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks nice, but way too many passengers! Over 5,100??? Yikes. I guess I can do without the water slides, etc. but I'm sure it will appeal to families, much like RCCL. I will look forward to sailing the Divina next April, but after that? Just wish they would have a smaller ship for the Caribbean sailings, or, in addition to Seaside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skier52 Posted December 15, 2015 #86 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) There appear to be some HUGE balconies on deck 9 and a couple of new colours for categories. I think Red is YC2.. Beige is YCI (INSIDE;not YC1) and there are some PINK cabins on deck 5 and some DARK PINK on deck 13 So it looks like there are; 3 types of INSIDE; Bella (light blue), Fantastica (light green), YC (beige) 3 types of OV; Bella (sky blue), Fantatica (green), ????? (light pink) 4 types of Balcony; Bella (dark blue), Fantastica (dark green) Aurea (orangey), ????????(dark pink, deck 13) 4 types of YC; Inside YCI (beige), YC1 (light brown) , YC2 (red), YC3 (dark brown) Edited December 15, 2015 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted December 16, 2015 #94 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Pete ... Are the 12 YC Insides including 3 Handicapped cabins not grey in colour? on Deck 16 and 18. Looks like there is a new category called Wellness on the new link that someone added. http://www.msccruisesgetforms.com/CMS/PDFFiles/DeckPlans-New/MSCSeaside/deck_plans_2016_cor_SEASIDE.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaweeyin Posted December 27, 2015 #95 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Has anyone seen any further renderings of the Superfamily Plus cabins? I LOVE the way they're set up on Meraviglia, with the bunk beds and the third cabin sort of tucked between the two larger cabins with balconies, but so far it appears Seaside's will be basic three-balcony-cabins-in-a-row. Not as great a family set-up, IMO. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthom70 Posted January 18, 2016 #96 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm excited to see real competition to RCL and X at reasonable prices. RCL and X continue to up the prices and with poor itineraries. I can't justify the prices for the Anthem and Oasis class cabins too HIGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARK green Which leaves the DARK PINK as S3 aurea So there are 2 + YC INSIDE 2 OV 3 Balcony 3 suite 2 YC + YC INSIDE (counted above) Does anyone have good info on the Suite Cabin and Balcony sizes? In speaking with an agent earlier today it seemed that the cabins for Fantastica Suites were bigger than the Aurea Suites, yet the Aurea Suites cost more (some cases over $1K more). From the renderings, the Aurea balconies look very big. Appreciate any feedback as we consider an MSC cruise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted January 25, 2016 #99 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) The Aurea S3 and Fantastica S2 suites are 302 sq feet in size, the Deck 9 Aft Aurea Suites have the long balconies and the Aft suites all the way up the back of the ship on the ends are all Aurea suites. No idea of Balcony sizes as yet for them. There are Four Fantastica suites per deck from 9 to 15 and are all on the angle of the change of direction, two facing forward and two facing Aft. Deck 9 also has two at the front of the ship. Aurea B3 balconies are on deck 9,14 and 15 Forward. The difference in price is likely that Aurea comes with a drink package,spa entrance, 1 free massage, separate sun deck and a few other things.
