Rare mamaneedsavacay Posted December 17, 2017 #401 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Mama ... The family cabin is posted on page 1 taken by Rosalba. Thank you. I hadn't put it together that the family cabin would be the same as the super family. But I guess that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted December 18, 2017 #402 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I️ found a YouTube video this evening while searching MSC Seaside. I️ think some of the images in the video are that of a corner GS. The only cabins that have a porthole and slated front are the GS. I️ did some screen grabs. The video also shows cabin 11177. So I️ am not sure if suite is also on deck 11 , 12,13,14 or even 10. One photo appears to be in the Port side though.Take a look and see what you think.

Tall-Cruiser Posted December 18, 2017 #404 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Adding to my post 402 above, the cabin with the Porthole cannot be deck 10 or 14 since those corner GS don't have a forward facing Porthole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds99jove Posted December 18, 2017 #405 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I would have to agree, but hey we are on a cruise. How much tv do we really need to watch. We are in an aft cabin on the January 6th sailing. We are paying for the novelty of the “South Beach Condo” experience. And by that I assume you mean the balcony? :) Same here, but still, it wouldn't have hurt if the cabin really felt like a suite. But I don't regret booking it either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelinGert Posted December 18, 2017 #406 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Found photos of an S2 Fantastica suite on the angle of the ship. Found it on an Italian website. If there were a high five smilie face I would slap it all over this post. I'm so jazzed I finally found it. Cabin 9066 - S2 Fantastica Looking into the main portion of this S2 suite Another angle bathroom back corner of the balcony Another angle on the balcony And yet another angle on the balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted December 18, 2017 Author #407 Share Posted December 18, 2017 TC and Gert ... Thanks for posting the photos and the video link. TC ... I would agree that the Porthole photo is one of the front GS cabins on the Starboard side, what is odd is the photo 3 down in the second post shows part of the TV and what appears to be a balcony door with a corridor outside! The other cabin appears to be either a Fantastica angled cabin or one of the SJ3 Whirlpool cabins going off the angle of the wall where the balcony is. I think the fact that 11177 cabin door is shown is just filling the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky1968 Posted December 18, 2017 #408 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looks roomy though. And glad if only a porthole it's in the bedroom vs the living area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 18, 2017 #409 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This is a suite? Somehow I would expect more. Nicer balcony furniture, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin' friends Posted December 18, 2017 #410 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This is a suite? Somehow I would expect more. Nicer balcony furniture, for example. What you have to understand about MSC is how their rooms and experiences are classified. The only true "Suite" experience is in the Yacht Club. The suites in Fantastica and Aurea are more space than the balcony cabins. They are more along the line of what other cruise lines would consider a minisuite.

Até Posted December 18, 2017 #411 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Compared to the deck plans it appears the angled Fantastica suites have lost some balcony space to the adjoining Aurea Whirlpool Suites. The divider between them is perpendicular to the angled section of the railing rather than being parallel with the forward divider to the Aurea balconies.

I️ can’t imagine a cabin door looking like that facing a corridor. I️ think whatever they were doing, it was not complete when the video was taken.

nat9511 Posted December 18, 2017 #414 Share Posted December 18, 2017 TravelinGert, Thank you, thank you, thank you for the pictures of an S2 cabin. Now I know what to expect. I am disappointed with the size of the balcony and wish it had a little table to be able to put drinks and snacks on. The slanted divider near the balcony door makes quite a bit of the space unusable. But I will be on a cruise on a new ship!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneman56 Posted December 18, 2017 #420 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Wow! That is a very nice and huge balcony.I wonder how MSC is doing the measuring of their balconies because I don't see it either. Is what they are doing considered false advertising? Most definitely but what can you do? You show up with your written bumph onboard and complain and they might throw $50-$100 OBC at you. I am seriously thinking of canceling now. To get a "suite" balcony that you can't even get a sunbed on is just not on. I have booked for 2 weeks from Miami with MSC. I can get a week to Bermuda in a suite just like the one I linked to with NCL for about the same money, get a better drinks package, all gratuities and DSC paid for, and I won't have to set foot in Miami (which is a bonus). I just don't like being lied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like being lied to. If you’re not happy you should absolutely cancel and rebook on something you will be happy with. That is a no brainer, especially if outside the penalty period.

LonnyLee Posted December 18, 2017 #422 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I was really expecting the S2 balcony to be bigger. The deck plans still show it with the barrier between suites being straight, not angled. I feel we would have been better of going with a regular balcony. Still plenty of time for us to change, so will wait till more photos come out, but for now I'm a little disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted December 18, 2017 Author #423 Share Posted December 18, 2017 MSC may likely claim a misprint on sizes! After all they would have been supplied by the designer not MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnimac Posted December 18, 2017 #425 Share Posted December 18, 2017 surely they should update the deck plans on the website now that they know they are wrong though? I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one... probably why there’s a disclaimer when booking that says “Please also be aware that the information on this website is subject to change without notice and that MSC reserves the right to refuse or honor any prices that are erroneously published or quoted.
