Divina may be the most beautiful we've ever traveled on and I loved the Italian modern feel (and my first voyage was on the Ile de France!) We had a balcony cabin which was extremely generous in space and equivalent to a Princess mini-suite, with perhaps less closet space. It had a sofa that made into a bed, a good-sized balcony, mini-fridge where the beverages were the same price as those purchased on deck. The bathroom is very nice with an excellent flushing toilet, big sink, lots of storage space and although the shower stall is small, the clever doors keep the water in and is far better than a shower curtain that blows out or sticks to the body. Since the Divina is recently transplanted the US and MSC mostly serves a European market, they need to learn a few more American conventions like supplying washcloths and hand soap automatically. (You can get them if you ask.)

The bedding is also inferior to that on many ships with only thin 200 thread count sheets, lumpy (!) pillows, and a thin mattress pad covered in little bumps that make the surface annoying to sensitive Princess types.

There is no carpeting or other markers to define starboard and port--or at least I missed it, but the frequent ship maps by elevators does help navigate a very large ship that can be confusing to some.

Cabin Review

Room was spacious for a regular balcony on a cruise ship with a sofa, large balcony, connecting doors to other family room and connecting balcony door. Exceptionally nice bathroom for this category. Small closet and drawer space, but adequate for 1 week cruise. Bedding could be better. See full review.
