A shift of category of 7120 on Magic??

[dlf246]

I've been mystified by a mystery that is probably not important, but wondered if anyone else has noticed:

Having booked for a while and looked at our stateroom 7118 a million times on Disney's website, I noticed a strange thing this weekend. Room 7120 is now shown a standard and not a navigator verandah. I thought I just had remembered wrong, until I pulled out the deck plan in our old brochure, and sure enough 7120 on that is Navigator verandah.

I then looked at 7118 and 7120 compared to elevators and other fixed objects and there has been no noticeable shift of room numbers. So, to solve this mystery I ask, were the earlier plans (both brochure and website) wrong about 7120 being navigator veranda?, or is the current website wrong?

We have 7122 on the Wonder and it is a Navigator as well.

Yes, I believe this is a re-classified room..

The following is quote from the stateroom reports on top, by someone who stayed there.

Notes: Great aft location! This is a previous cat 5 room changed to cat 7 due to curving slope of the ship on verandah. Great price for room, but dummy me did bump head a few times on metal slope. Toilet has a few issues getting clogged up. As with all staterooms I have had (4 total) I feel we should have more control of the AC. For me, staterooms do not get cool enough at times. All in all, 7120 was a good experience

i am now on the Repo Magic, and my friend is in that room and i booked that room myself for next year. The room is a CAt 5 with a price of cat 7. The balcaony is NOT a Nav. vernadah but a reg. vernadah, with a slope sideon the one side...but plenty enough to see out. This room only sleep 3.

A year or two ago a DISer had one of these rooms and started a thread about 15 pages long (OK, I really don't remember how long but it had sparks flying out of many of the posts) discussing the blockage and his disappointment. The result: the rooms were reclassified as cat 7's. Since then I have often wondered what non-DISers, who get those rooms expecting the benches and circular opening of cat 7, think when they see the verandahs

Then again, I often suspect most people don't know what to expect and just "show up"

Thank heavens I count myself with the "informed"

There are details on Dave's site (with photos) (dcltribute dot com) under FAQs - obstructed verandahs
