Full sun or shade

[lindatoo]

On the Seaside, in a S3 is there any shade?

[h0twired]

Can you elaborate on your question?

[lindatoo]

On the MSC Seaside I am in a cat S3. I know its a large balcony. Is it half sun and half shade, or is it all out in the open, like no shade at all?

:cool::cool:

Category S3 only states that the cabin is Aurea Suite. The “sun or shade” situation can only be answered if deck number and cabin number are known.

Is your cabin on deck 9 MSC Seaside ?

Is your cabin on deck 9 MSC Seaside ?

Yes its 9245.

I think there are some other factors to consider as well. Like the time of year you're sailing, the heading of the ship itself; the time of day. Considering those factors there may be certain times of the day during your voyage that your deck is in full shade; and likewise in full sun at others.

I think the correct word should be....is there an overhang above the sliding doors?

[SirWolf]

Yes, the balcony has a covered area / overhang (balcony above) plus the large open area.

There is a slight overhang to keep the sun from getting into the cabin, but you are pretty much out in the open.

If the ship is heading north the sun will rise on the starboard side which when the sun is low will be in full sun, then the sun moves overhead giving more and more shadow until you are in full shade all afternoon when the port side gets the sun.

 

So its all down to heading and sun position.

Thank you, that is all I needed to know. Any other perks for 9245?

 

Thank you, Thank you for your help.:D:D

Google MSC Seaside pictures then go to CruiseCritic review where towards the end there is a link to tons of pics. Look at the Suite cabin photos and I think you'll find some of what you're looking for.

[lindatoo]

Thank you so much. That is exactly what I was looking for. All my questions have been answered.

 

Thank you.

You're welcome! We have one of these S3 cabins on our Seaside 9/15 sailing, so I was curious about it as well.
