Jimbo Posted February 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Anyone have any pictures with cabins numbers of the ones on deck 14? Are these sought after cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Ray Posted February 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) If you go down a few floors you may get a deeper balcony. Just got off the Mera on 2/2/20, we were in 10267 (see below). These are only sought after cabins if you like a larger balcony and the oddly satisfying sound of prop wash (like a waterfall) at night. The only drawback for aft cabins on this ship is lack of stairs and elevator at the back of the boat. This means you will be doing a considerable amount of walking. If you know that going in you'll have a great cruise. Edited February 3, 2020 by Ray_Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can peek in Cabin 14268 and see what it's like. Probably right next to your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this cruiseline handle booking 2 people in a cabin that holds 3 or 4? Do they allow it if my travel agent calls and asked to be switched to a cabin that holds 3 or4 even though there will be only 2 of us? Walking won't bother us, we have stayed in other aft cabins before on other cruiselines. Edited February 3, 2020 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Ray Posted February 5, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2020 @Jimbo There were only 2 of us. I booked on the MSC website and selected this cabin. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare electro Posted February 5, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 5, 2020 11 hours ago, Ray_Ray said: I did, ordered it off Amazon (Brazilian Hammock) for $30. What did you use to hang the hammock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Ray Posted February 5, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) The hammock included two long straps and carabiners. Wrap each strap around a metal beam, run the carabiners through each end of the strap AND ring at the ends of the hammock. That's it, it'll take you maybe 4 - 5 minutes to hang it.

Ray_Ray Posted February 5, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 5, 2020 BTW, I can’t describe how nice it was to have a hammock on the balcony. The Meraviglia is a beautiful ship but on sea days the pool decks were a real sh*t show and this provided perfect R & R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, are there outdoor stairs that lead up to the Horizon Pool area from the aft of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrick3 Posted December 29, 2021 #20 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hammock is great. OK would you guys tell me the good and bad of an aft cabin. Seems it would be peaceful, but maybe hot with no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it would be peaceful, but maybe hot with no wind. The reason I like aft cabins is the length of the balcony...on some ships they even provide a lounger or two. Divina and Meraviglia have some similarities in that the higher up from deck 10 ( with deck 10 being the largest) the balconies get progressively smaller... Also on Divina there are really nice exterior stairs at the aft of the ship....but I am learning that is not so on Meraviglia. I don't mind a long walk to the stairs and elevators but was hoping for a similar layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a long walk to the stairs and elevators but was hoping for a similar layout. I was just in an aft on 10 and it was amazing, very deep and enough room for a lounger plus chairs. I’ve also done an aft on Divina and it was very similar although no stairs as you mentioned. I did run into just a bit of a soot issue one day though but a quick note to my cabin steward and it was cleaned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyWindy Posted November 8, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm going to be in 14268 at the end of January. While Deck 10 aft balconies are the longest, unlike Divina (on which I had a wake-view balcony) last December, Deck 14 on Meraviglia "kicks out" several feet, and therefore has loner balconies than the decks immediately below.

alanschiff Posted November 9, 2022 #24 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Did you end up in aft cabin on 14? I had an aft balcony cabin on deck 12 in October and I loved it. I just booked an aft balcony on 9 for January,. I just saw the dead center aft balcony is available on 14 but I wondered if you heard people from Buffett above? On 12 my balcony was large. Im pretty sure 9 is large, but less covered (which is OK with me). Was is noisy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
