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

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.

We had 8006 on the Fantasy in June 2012. I just switched to an 8C, there were no 8Ds, but it was only a diff of $176 for DS and I, so not too bad.

I just have a feeling I would not be happy in that 9A room.

I decided to change my room from (9A) 7006 to 8(C) 8012. I think it will be a better overall room for having a preschooler with me. Thanks to all who took the time to post pictures and give advice on the ship. It has really helped me out in making the best decision for my family

Ours was on the Fantasy too, but in May. I know I wasn't going to be happy either. When you are paying $3K for the cruise, $200 is a small price to be happy.

I lucked out on an 8D on deck 6. If Deck 5 was my only option, I would have gone to an 8C. I'm not crazy about being on the same level as the children's areas. DS (2) will be in the nursery some, but I'd rather walk down a flight of stairs.

We had 9A on Dream in April, 2012, switched to 8C as well. Moved to 7018 I think? Wanted 8D as well, but my wife won't sail in the back of the ship and the two 8D forward room weren't available.

I do think the 9A would be great for a party of 2. But with kids, not so much.

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 have a feeling, if this helps at all, that the non-handicapped WILL at least have the split bath.
I agree, I would be pretty disappointed w/o the curtain, too. I sailed last summer with two very dear friends, husband and wife, and my "section" of the room was the curtained-off area....at least for dressing and sleeping. I would have hated to have had to dress in the bathroom for the whole cruise.

So....has anyone found any pictures of the aft balconies yet?

 

[ibouncetoo]

My friend has a Dect 5 mega balcony. I'll mosey over to facebook and ask her if I can post one here.

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.

wait wait wait- all the 6B's on deck 5 are dinky? Even 5190 and 5192? Please tell me that is not the case!
(and if I had booked that corner one that someone showed a pic of I'd be HIGHLY upset and defniitely complaining. The nerve even calling that a verandah and charging the same as the rest. I'd take one of those obstructed verandahs on deck 5/side that all the extended verandahs on the end can look back and see your entire verandah over that thing you can barely stand in. Oh I'd be unhappy in that thing. Not even a chair? just room for a bench with cushion on it? what-ever. I'd book that only if it was cheaper than the other 6B verandahs, but only if.

and by the way those cat 8's that pictures were shown of- I wouldn't like that at all either! It would NOT work with kids without a curtain or anything but honestly even with just DH and myself I wouldn't be fond of it. Bad enough the porthole window angles up so you get a view of the sky and probably feels smaller with the ceiling angled- but no curtain so DH can go to bed early when I do NOT go to bed early? no

I saw some pictures of some category (can't remember sorry) that was like 8 I think- definitely oceanview I think- but it was almost like 2 rooms- or was 2 rooms. I thnk it's those ones that are square shaped on the deck plans- and bright pink LOL

So....has anyone found any pictures of the aft balconies yet?

Barb (inkognito) tweeted some pictures on her site which is linked into another post. I've been offline but will go look for them now.

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?:

So is it safe to assume this is also what 6014 looks like? Are all the rooms mirror images?

PS thank you so much for posting these!

 

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

6690 is my room on the Dream and the Fantasy! I'm so pleased with it. Best wishes for all!

Thanks, it would be nice to have them in here as well, if not already posted. (Especially since my friends are booked in these specific rooms on the 8/16 sailing.)

5190 and 5192 aren't as bad, they're square and a bit deeper. I'd take those over one of the higher categories on the side of the ship any day.

Any info or pictures on rooms 5038 and or 5040 on the Dream. Cat 5E????

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!!

Thanks so much for the pics of this room! My parents and DS will be in that room one month from today! We're going to be next door with the giant porthole (9662). I just showed my DS and he's so excited! I can't wait to show my parents.

Hi everyone! I'm wondering about the Cat 5D rooms on deck 6 (we're in room 6082). It's a connected room but I haven't seen any pictures of what the connected wall looks like. We don't know our neighbors and I have a toddler so I'm wondering if it's in our best interest to move to a not connecting room. What do you think? Also, I noticed that I’m the last room before the 4D rooms, do you think there will be a wall on the otherside of the veranda? Thanks for the help!

Somebody recommended a Verandah to me that is on Deck 5. It was either room 5546 or 5046 because of the larger verandah. What I want to know is will those rooms be quiet since the theater seems to be under it? I can't stand a loud room! Thanks!

Those are rooms that I've recommended, since they are located more above the restrooms in front of the theatre, than above the theatre itself, and they are the only non-connecting rooms in that group. Those rooms, and the rooms just aft of those rooms, should be good. I like the right side rooms (5546) since it generally has a better view of Castaway Cay.
