MSC Cruises · MSC Seashore · Deck 10, Cabin 10410
#romantic#balcony#sunset

We ate dinner on our balcony every night and skipped the dining room

Seven-night Mediterranean cruise. Beautiful dining room, multiple specialty restaurants, all included in our package. We went to the dining room once on night one, found it too crowded and formal, and never went back. Every subsequent night we ordered room service, set up the balcony table with candles (our own, smuggled aboard in the suitcase, which I believe is technically against the rules), opened a bottle of wine (also smuggled aboard), and had dinner watching the Mediterranean sunset. The room service menu is limited but we supplemented with food from the buffet brought back in to-go containers. Our steward knew exactly what we were doing and quietly provided extra plates and glasses without comment. The dining room is beautiful. Our balcony was better.

Royal Caribbean · Wonder of the Seas · Deck 8, Cabin 8536
#great view#noise#oasis class

Boardwalk balcony on Wonder — nightly entertainment included

Cabin 8536 overlooks the Boardwalk on Wonder of the Seas. The carousel, the AquaTheater, the whole scene is right below you. During the day it is lively but manageable. At night, especially show nights, it is a spectacle you can watch from your balcony in your bathrobe. The AquaTheater diving shows are visible from this angle, which is worth the ticket alone. Noise was our only concern going in, but honestly the ship quiets down by 11pm and sleep was fine. The Boardwalk-facing balconies are slightly more sheltered from wind than ocean-facing ones, which is a nice bonus on sea days. Room itself is standard Royal Caribbean quality. Good for couples who like people-watching.

MSC Cruises · MSC Seashore · Deck 14, Cabin 14088
#infinity balcony#balcony#couples

Infinity balcony lives up to the hype

MSC Seashore's infinity balconies (no barrier between you and the sea, just a glass floor extension) are genuinely something special. 14088 has a wider balcony than most due to being at the end of the row — extra maybe 40cm but you feel it. The ship is beautiful, cabin is modern and white with good storage. AC works well. Only issue: the infinity balcony has a small lip that collects water when it rains and it takes a while to drain. Found a puddle our first morning. Not a dealbreaker. Maintenance fixed a small rattling hanger issue within 20 mins of reporting. Would recommend MSC Seashore for couples who want the balcony experience.
