MSC Seaside forward facing Aurea Suites with hot tubs

[stuart2468]

Quick question.

 

I have the option of the starboard forward facing Aurea suite with hot tub. Both on deck 10 and deck 14. Which deck would be better do you think? If you had to choose, which would be best?

Deck 10 is well placed to get down to the rest of the ship for bars, dinner etc... However 14 will have easier access to the pool deck without relying on the lifts... From the deck plans not much between them, however I think I'd go for 10 so that if the lifts were busy during the evening getting to the main public areas would be easier

Normally deck 10 would be fine Tim. But given this ship will allow you to walk pretty much all the way around, I'm worried it may be a bit too close to the promenade. And with deck 14, would I have to consider any overhang from above?

I guess it then depends how much you want to use the balcony Stuart? I think it might be difficult to tell until the ship launches to be honest. If I were in your position, I would go for 10, surely the prom won't be too bad during the day, and if it were me I'd be out and about? I tend to use my balcony in the evening for a drink before dinner or before bed but guess that depends on preference... I have been on D13 on Fantasia class and the overhang meant we were in the shade
