What is a navigators veranda like?

[hpygrll]

We are vacation club members and are thinking of booking a September cruise. They only have one of those types of rooms left - what is it like? Is it a big veranda? How are the deluxe ocean view staterooms? Any help here would be great!! Thankyou! Jenny:smooth:

Jenny,

Navigator veranda rooms are in the back of the ship and have a full veranda , but with a metal bottom and an open porthole opening. The opening is larger on the Wonder than on the Magic and you can see pictures if you go to Barb's site. The other difference is that instead of two chairs and a small table you get a padded bench, padded chair and a slightly larger table. Many people would call the view obstructed but DH and I (who have sailed with a regular veranda on our first two cruises) tried on Navigator's veranda on our May Wonder cruise and loved it so much that we booked one for our Magic cruise next May.

Another nice perk of these rooms is that since you are in the back of the ship your muster station for the emergency drill is in Animator's Pallate instead of out on the hot deck!

An Oceanview room has no veranda, but a very large parthole (unless you are on deck 1 then you will have 2 small ones). Again pictures can be found on Barb's site.

Hope this helps!

Mary is CORRECT on ALL counts! I actually prefer the Navigator Verandah to the regular verandah for all the reasons she stated. For more pics of a Nav. Verandah room, click <a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/DCL/7628/" target="index">HERE</A>. The thumbnails link to larger photos.

Thankyou so much for your help!! We really are kind of last minute on this trip planning - I know they only had one navigator veranda room left. I think we'll try for it!! Thanks again!!! Jenny:p
