Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

[KatInHat]

Has anyone seen pictures of the verandas or room for cat. 6a aft; particularly room 8678? We are booked in that room and I was just curious to see if anyone had room or veranda pictures.
Thanks

We had booked a 9A room, room 6000 for the Feb 10 cruise.

We looked at our luggage tags for the first time and we are now in room 6184, which is a 6B Deluxe Verandah room! We are so excited! We got our very first free upgrade!

Boy, I'm glad you posted that pix of the tiny balcony! Wow, I'd be angry for sure.

We're booked in the accessible 9170 in 2012 and I don't want this much trip planning to go to waste!

I LOVE the square 8A's...the width and separation of the couch and bed with the partition is excellent. Lots of floor space. Bathroom not great, but hey, it's a great trade off!

It's been long time coming, but here is an updated and better looking index of the front facing rooms on the ship. I'm going to updated the first post as well, but wanted to put it here to highlight it as well.

My TA (who can't be mentioned on this board) has a picture of an Aft 6A balcony on his Facebook page. It looks like it must be on the end where it curves. The balcony is tiny, I mean it is barely there. I don't know how DCL will be able to sell those without major complaints.

They also have some great pictures of an 8A without the split bath.

They're wrong about the category. If that's room #5188, like they think it is, then that's a Category 9B. All of the 9B's have dinky little verandahs....the ones on Deck 5, anyway.


PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS. TURNS OUT, I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO COLORS OF THE CATEGORIES IN THE BROCHURE.

You are continuing the trend of folks booked in a 9A forward room who are getting pixie dust upgrades! Here's hoping MJ still sails in her 9A corner room tomorrow on the MV cruise!

Thanks, I was just looking for the actual room number associated with that picture, since it is missing the ceiling bed. I hadn't seen that picture before. It's not the same as the room in the link above, which has all of the beds.

Category 8C....8512
Whew...took me a while....

Actually it's a 6B. How did you manage to type that 6 upside down??

You're right, but it isn't my typing, it's my EYESIGHT! The two colors for the 9B and the 6B are so close, I can't tell them apart.
Do people have to be born color-blind, or can it happen with old age? This past weekend, I thought my cousin's house was pale green, and it's actually cream colored!!

You were right the first time, though. Those verandahs on the 9B rooms are very small. Extremely small! So small, only a fly can enjoy it!

I was working out of town on a project one summer about 13 years ago. One of my coworkers lent me his car. He told me about where it was parked and told me it was green. We looked, and looked and looked, and couldn't see a green car anywhere. However, there was a champagne/gold colored car in that location, so I hit the lock button on his key chain, and sure enough, that was his car! My other coworkers all agreed with me that the car was gold, not green. For the rest of the project, when we were giving everyone pet nicknames, his was "CBE" or Color-blind Ed" whose car was "green, maybe gold"!

If you book a non gty room, can they just upgrade u w/o asking? What if u want to decline?

 

[proudmom3]

Does anyone know if the connecting rooms 5038/5040 cat 5E on the Dream are in a quiet place? What are the rooms by?

Yeah, you can decline an upgrade. I suppose that it's harder for DCL if you're not informed of the change until sailing date. But, I've heard of more than a few who've declined upgrades. Most famously are those who have an Obstructed View Cat 10 on the Wonder or Magic. Being Upgraded from that Large "Secret Porthole" on Deck 5 could mean that you are moved to a Deck 1 Oceanview with 2 small portholes. Hardly a great deal in anyones book.

I am wondering if they are missing something for those rooms like Curtains that can handle the angled wall. Since no one on here has officially sailed in one I am guessing they have some rooms on the ship that they aren't booking and they are moving people to those rooms until they have all the rooms completely finished.

Actually, if you look at the picture I posted recently, and added to the first post of the front facing 9A rooms, you will see that almost all of them seem to have curtains on the window. So curtains don't seem to be the problem.

Someone on FB said they saw a 9A room, and it was pretty, but not much more information.

Thanks I missed that. I just thought it was strange that everyone was getting upgraded out of them so I thought perhaps there was something missing from those rooms on the first few cruises that they had to finish.

this is an AMAZING thread!!!!!!
thanks for putting so much time and effort into it!!!!!!!

Congrats on the upgrade! We're hoping for one, too. We're in 6004 next December, one of the forward facing rooms, and are hoping for a verandah upgrade somewhere midship.

There are pictures of 6006 6004 9A rooms and 6514 8A rooms on a TA FB site. I'm remote or if post links.
