I saw pictures that have recently been added on the prior link to a TA site on facebook. It showed pics of this room which looked huge with two large portholes. Only thing is it looks like no curtain to divide kid sleep area.

These are those photos from the TA facebook. I posted them since Halls couldn't

Thanks for the pics of the 9A corner rooms. 6006 is an accessible room, wondering if the corners on Decks 7 and 8 will be a similar set up.

Also, is that bath a split bath?

If you can, could you link in the 8A pics as well? Thanks.

I am super bummed at the way the corner 9A room is set up. I love the space, hate the window, proximity of the couch and bunk bed to the main bed, and lack of a privacy curtain between the two. Also not sure if there is a split bath, but the bath you can see looks pretty large.

I have a similar feeling. We are traveling with our 6 year old and the curtain is nice and it will be missed. We are book in a deck 7 9A room and it seems like it's possibly a little more roomy. I'm excited to see a deck 7 or 8 room photo too.

Here is the new 8A that was posted. Do you want me to post the other two on deck 5 that have already been posted?:

Room 9664 is our assigned Cat 6A room. It seems like its got an obstructed balcony based on the above picture and location?

Can anyone tell me if this is true?

TIA

You can see your room in this photo which was labeled by Halls. It is partially obstructed.

Hi! I actually just stayed in 9664 this past weekend. Here are some pictures of the balcony:

Walking in the room

Turned to the left on the verandah to take a photo (zoomed in)

View of Port Canaveral on the verandah (thing you're seeing to the left is probably from Deck 11 as part of it come out over the ship).

View from inside the room, using my zoom lense so its a close up. You see you have the curve of the start of the "wall" is since the rooms to the left of this one have the giant portholes versus verandahs. On the right of the room is your neighboring room's verandah.

You can slightly see the cleaning cart I'm talking about. I took this on an angle.

Sitting on the verandah, wall behind me is where the room to your left is that has a giant porthole instead of a verandah.


We had a really great view! And yes the "cleaning cart" thing that slides along the top of the ship is parked above the verandah but you barely notice it unless you look up or when you first walk out you may catch a glimpse of it, otherwise it doesn't obstruct the view too much. My mom also said she felt more comfortable with it there for some reason.

I hope that helps, if you have any other questions, please ask!!

is this thing right above the veranda in the corner room Cat 6A room 9664, a stationery thing? Cause if that's what's hanging over obstructed to begin with balcony, I'm not a happy camper.....

Sorahana already answered your question

In the photo you posted it is down but they probably keep it up unless they are cleaning windows.

Are you in room 9664? That's where we are assigned and I'm not happy about the cleaning cart. Is the balcony slightly obstructed due to the porthole room next to you?

TIA!

Yea that's it BUT it's not completely down like that. The bottom portion is pulled up so it does not hang down that low in front of the verandah (I had to look at a side view of the boat I got zoomed it to verify that).

I was worried about it at first too, but was very happy that it wasn't as noticeable as I thought it would be.

Thanks! I must have been posting my last post while you were posting yours. They sort of "crossed in the mail". I appreciate your response.
Let me ask you this, on the right side, where your neighbor also has a balcony, is there a divider between yours and theirs? Is it solid or see through? Just trying to get a feel for the privacy factor.

And, would you stay in this room again or was it too obstructed? I wondering if I should call???

Thanks again! Glad you enjoyed your trip!

Your welcome, it's my pleasure . It was our first time on a cruise, so yea we were anxious but it was fine.

There is a divider. You can barely see onto your neighbor's verandah unless you try to look through the cracks of space on the divider. the dividers can also be folded to the side if you are next to someone you know, etc. But they are locked in place if that's not the situation.

I would stay in this room again in a heartbeat! The location was good since you pretty much walk out of the room, to the right and the elevator is to your left (or four flights of stairs) and takes you right up outside of Cabanas on Deck 11.
It is a bit of a walk from the theatres/dinners since they're forward and on the lower decks and the room is aft (back), but if you navigate correctly (walk back then take the elevator up) you won't make the same mistake we did and have to walk the whole length of the boat to get back . But yes I would stay in this room again!

I am super bummed at the way the corner 9A room is set up. I love the space, hate the window, proximity of the couch and bunk bed to the main bed, and lack of a privacy curtain between the two. Also not sure if there is a split bath, but the bath you can see looks pretty large.

Me too. We had 8006 booked but I just changed us to a 8D instead. We will have a 2 year old on our cruise, so the curtain/separation is needed. I feel like the corner 9As are going to sort of cave like.

I had a chance to book a 9A with the large window seat/porthole and didn't. I'm kicking myself now. The price difference is a couple hundred dollars. I actually had a reservation on it until last week when I had to make a deposit or let it go. Stupid me let it go.

Unfortunately our cruise (8/16/11) has been sold out for 4 people since we booked almost, so until several folks cancel, my rebooking options aren't looking too good. My only hope at this moment is that 8006 as a non-accessible room has a slightly different layout, but I'm not betting on it.

I am torn now too about the stateroom. I have one booked for next year and will have a 3 year old on board with me. I like the extra room it has, but am not positive if it is the best fit or not. Though it seems like there have been several people in the 9A category that got pixie dust upgrades to verandas. Does anyone know what the view looks like out the window?

I'm on the same cruise in rooms 8000 and 8002. I am super bummed seeing pictures. Even though we got 2 rooms for the 4 of us there better be a split bath. The layout doesn't make sense, the couch next to the bathroom with the TV near the porthole, across from the bed. Desk areas and closets look smaller too We picked those rooms hoping for plate glass windows and instead they are medium portholes. (I skipped to last post on this thread so if the pictures of those rooms are not posted here I saw them on another thread titled Forward Dream Rooms).

My parents and brother are 9A guaranty. Watch they'll get upgraded to balconies...
