MSC Poesia Aft Balcony Cabin Tour: Stateroom 11250 on Deck 11 🚢

If you’re considering an aft balcony cabin on the MSC Poesia, come along as we take you inside Stateroom 11250 on Deck 11. This cabin is located right at the back of the ship, and it was our first time staying in an aft-facing balcony cabin. 🌊

During our 7-night Alaska cruise, we had the chance to experience the cabin both in port and while sailing. Below, we’ll show you the room, storage, charging options, bathroom, and of course, one of the biggest reasons to choose this location, the view from the aft balcony.

🛏️ Inside MSC Poesia Stateroom 11250

The cabin has a warm Italian-inspired look with red and burgundy accents throughout. Our bed was arranged as a king, although it can also be configured as two twin beds. There were four pillows, two decorative pillows, and nightstands with three drawers on each side.

The nightstands also had individual lights and switches for the main cabin lighting. One thing worth noting is that there were no electrical outlets beside the bed, so devices need to be charged over at the vanity area.

🔌 Vanity, Outlets and Charging

The vanity area provided most of the cabin’s electrical connections. We found two North American outlets, European outlets, plus USB-A and USB-C charging ports.

We were happy with the number of available connections, although having everything concentrated in one area meant our electronics and Andrea’s hair tools all had to be used or charged in the same spot.

The vanity also included a large mirror, drawers, a stool, and the cabin’s built-in hair dryer.

🧳 Storage, TV and Mini Bar

Storage was quite good for the size of the cabin. There were six drawers near the closet along with shelving, a safe, and hanging space. Our closet had 12 hangers along with space at the bottom for additional items.

The cabin also had a swivel Samsung TV, a mini bar stocked with items available for an additional charge, and a large wall mirror that helped make the room feel brighter and more spacious.

We also confirmed that several of the cabin walls, the ceiling, and the main cabin door are metal, which makes magnetic cruise hooks useful for hanging clothing, papers, and other lightweight items.

🌊 The Aft Balcony

Of course, the feature we were most excited about was the aft-facing balcony.

The balcony is somewhat narrow and angled, but it had two chairs, a footstool, and a small table. There isn’t a lot of overhead coverage, which could be worth considering on rainy days.

What really makes this cabin special is the view. Looking straight out from the back of the ship gives you a completely different perspective compared with a traditional balcony along the side. 🚢

🚿 MSC Poesia Cabin 11250 Bathroom

The bathroom is fairly typical for a cruise ship cabin. It includes a sink with storage underneath, several shelves, large mirrors, towels, and a shower with an adjustable shower head.

The shower uses a shower curtain rather than glass doors, and MSC provided shampoo and shower gel but no separate conditioner. There is also a retractable clothesline inside the shower, which is handy for drying swimsuits.

We tested the shower during the tour and found the water pressure to be very good. 💦

🧳 Can You Store Suitcases Under the Bed?

Yes. Our 28-inch Level8 suitcase fit underneath the bed, although it was a tight fit and needed to be slid underneath from the side.

Being able to store larger luggage under the bed is particularly useful in a cabin where keeping the floor space clear makes the room feel noticeably larger.

⭐ Our MSC Poesia Aft Balcony Cabin

Overall, MSC Poesia Stateroom 11250 gave us everything we needed during our cruise, with good storage, plenty of charging options, and a comfortable layout.

The real reason to consider this cabin, however, is its location. Staying right at the back of the ship gave us those unique aft-facing views and a fantastic look at the wake while sailing, while also putting us in a very convenient spot. Just outside the cabin area, an outdoor staircase provided quick access up to the back of the buffet, which made it easy to grab food or a drink without walking far through the ship.

If you’re considering an aft balcony on the MSC Poesia, or specifically researching Cabin 11250 on Deck 11, we hope this tour gives you a better idea of what to expect.
