Which deck is better for Yacht Club?

[snowmc]

Hi!  First time sailing on MSC.  Going on Divina.  Which deck is best for Yacht Club....15 or 16?

[JAGR]

What is your preference?  Quiet? Deck 15, with spa below (so quiet at night) and cabins above.  Access to Top Sail Lounge and The One area?  Deck 16.  There's no real wrong deck.

We were on 16 back in 2018, and are booked on 15 for next year. Doesn't really matter.

We've had rooms on both.  No noticeable issues with either.

Divina's lounge is on 15, with its own mini crystal staircase coming down into the concierge area from 16. Nothing is very far away though, so any room in YC is a great room!

We were in 16018 on Divina and starting at 6:45 AM there was banging and dragging sounds from the One Bar buffet area every day. We went up and found them pulling chairs off the table and then pushing the tables into place. We asked to be moved and we were. I’m a light sleeper though.

On the Fantasia class  ships (like Divina) we always book a suite on deck 15.  Easy access to the concierge area and the Top Sail Lounge.  No noise from the pool deck like on 16.

Great question and great information.

What about that 19 that’s what I booked 19038 on the seashore.

OP was asking about the Divina.  In your situation, you've got another disability interior.  Above you is the main women's restroom, so noise would not likely be a factor at night.

Thanks. Guess i will check out the deck plan again. I thought it was pretty neat that it was a short walk to the deck from the cabin pretty cool. Just didn’t know about noise or anything.

No.  I meant you would be pretty well off.  The elevator is right outside your door, and the room should be generally quiet.

Grandma is in that room right now on Seashore. She has not mentioned anything waking her up.

 

Room 19038 is about 15 steps from the elevator that serves YC floors. Also, i

I did not have to worry about her using stairs to go to lounge, dining room or pool deck.

When are you sailing?  Would like to see photos of this cabin as I’m booked in it in September.  Thanks.

Do you have photos of this cabin?  I’m booked in it and I’ve never had an interior or hdc cabin.  Thanks.

Sorry about your need for a handicapped room.  From experience, it has ample room for movement and storage of a wheelchair.  The only drawback is having only a very small closet and incidental storage.  You should be fine as a single, as there are ample emergency notification pull cords around the room should you need assistance.

I’m sorry, I don’t need the handicapped cabin. My agent booked it when I asked for this cruise.  I was hoping I’d get bumped out and up to a balcony    So far that’s not happened. Maybe that was the only interior cabin in YC available at the time of booking

You'll be fine, then.  The room is large enough you won't feel pinned in, and you are so close to balcony style views from the front of the Top Sail Lounge or the One Deck, you won't miss not having a balcony.

[frank808]

On our past 2 weeks, I went out on the balcony once or twice for a total of no more than a minute total.  I find it too hot to use the balcony in the Caribbean. 

 

The one place I will need a balcony is Alaska. Nothing beats watching the scenery go by from your bed or couch.

Would you say better than the view from TSL?

[frank808]

The view from you YC1 would be better as it would be private us you would be "closer" to see. The TSL has good views from the couches on the side but you have glass between you and the ocean. While your own balcony the ledge goes up half way.
