Whoops, had 2 windows open, meant to post on the aft balcony thread.

Thanks for posting the 8504 pictures. I have this room booked for Feb 20th and April 2012, and I think it looks fantastic!!! This category is one of the cheapest on the ship, and that room is big! I don't care that the beds are separated, or that the TV is not on the "correct" wall (whatever wall that is). What I care about is that every time I get in a stateroom, I feel cramped. It looks like this room will have a great roomy feeling for a reasonable price.

I was worried about the view as I was looking forward to a forward facing view, and it looks like it will be great.

I am very excited about this room, and no one will havehave to worry about getting upgraded to this room when I am on the ship, because no way will I give it up as it looks like the most square feet per $ on the ship!

I think it's great that you like it! Honestly!
But I sure wouldn't.
(and by "right" wall I mean--- able to see the tv while in bed and/or sofa. Some appear to have the tv on the same wall as the bed but across from sofa- so can only see it from sofa but not from bed. This one doesn't even show the tv so I can only imagine it can only be viewed from the bed and not from the sofa clear over there across the room)

If you're all about not being cramped, don't need a curtain divider, don't mind having children sleeping both sides of you without privacy (or don't have that many children or going without kids), and all that- then that is wonderful! I'm just glad I see this board because not everyone will love that- and wouldn't know until they got on the ship if not for boards like this sharing the information. And I'm one of the ones that would not love that. LOL

What cat is this? Not sure if it's really one of the "cheapest" on the ship- especially considering so many cruises now the verandah rooms are less expensive than cat 8a... which is so odd to me. LOL

OK, so now that the elusive 9A corner room pictures are out, I'm waiting on the photos of the 9A side rooms that we *think* may have the larger porthole windows found in the Cat 8. Specifically, we have family booked in 7506 on a Fantasy sailing. Anyone sailing in one of these rooms anytime soon?

I'm with you, I'm not sure I'd like this room, but I figured that it would find fans. Particularly, Those sailing without kids. Extra room is very nice.

Here is a link to a post that has pictures of 8008. This is one of those 9A rooms on the side of the ship.

Yeah.
I think if DH and I didn't have totally different sleep patterns- we'd like this as our room maybe. But the thing is- he goes to bed far earlier than I do- and so the curtain is needed and I stay up later. I suppose I could LIVE without being able to see the tv while he's asleep (on internet or reading or whatnot)... but without the curtain- no. LOL It's very similar to having a child asleep while you're awake, I suppose. LOL

Thanks so much for posting this link! We are in 6506 next March and have been waiting to see if all the speculation was true about the side 9A rooms--yay!!!

I just booked this room for our January 2012 cruise. Looks great! It will just be Dh and I celebrating his 40th bday so the extra room will be perfect. Hope you update us on how you like this room after your February 20th trip!! Have fun!!

Thank you so much for posting this! Yay- my parents really lucked out with that one.

Thanks to everyone for posting pics! We're in a corner room (I think the same one as HallsofVA) and I can't decide if I like them or not. The extra space looks awesome, but I'm disappointed by the small porthole/window. It's in a weird place and it won't be easy for the kids to look out of. Everything else I could forgive, regarding the curtain and whatnot. But the porthole disappoints me. I wonder if I could get switched into one of the side 9As (x504, x008). Any idea why those rooms are categorized as a 9A instead of 8C? Is it just sq ft? Lack of a place for a 5th person to sleep?

The side facing rooms are actually X008 and X506, not X504. The rooms are classified as 9A because inside they are essentially 9A rooms, and not Cat 8 rooms. While they have the same large porthole as the Cat 8 rooms, they are shorter, only sleep 4, and don't have the round tubs that the Family rooms (Cat 8 & 4) have.

Does anyone know if room 7666 has a top bunk? If it doesn't no biggie, but I think DD would rather sleep in a bunk if she had the option.

 

[woodchuck]

anyone have photo of room 7560???? We will be in that room in May

 

[parkmanbrook]

Has anyone heard about how noisy is deck 5 aft? We will be in 5670 on the Dream, and have heard deck 5 aft is very noisy at night. I wanted to know if anyone has heard anything about it or if it is not that bad.

Thanks!

All reports are that it's noisy and the bass vibrations are horrible. They don't shut down Evolution until 2:00 am, some nights it gets quiet by 1:00-1:30.
I put a link to a thread that's been discussing this on the thread you started asking this question.

She just posted more photos of the HA Cabin 6504, which shows the entire room and the HA bath.

Thank you for all the wonderful work you've done on this thread!
We're first time cruisers and I am beginning to feel like I know a little bit about what to expect after reading thru this.
Does anyone want to offer any advice or pics of room 10096? It looks like it will be right under what appears to be a deck around the pool, right? Sounds like there might be some noise from moving chairs around during the day? Anything else I should know?
Thanks again.

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?:

OH wow we were in room 6516 and it looked nothing like this one, just the standard family verrandah room.

 

[seaulater]

Where's the desk/vanity/drawers/refridgerator and TV? (I can't belive Linda didn't take photos of them...she should know better...)

What can I say, I am just a slacker.....

actually, I am using my mom's computer right now. In the process of setting up my office in my new house and hope to have computer accessible tomorrow, so once I download my pictures, I'll see what I can do.......

I think I'd really like to have this room, as long as I get the side of the bed closest to the bathroom. That, or I'd have to wrap some glow necklaces around that pole so I don't crash into it in the middle of the night!

Cass (Timon) has some shots in her trip report (I posted the link) and I think it's the same room. (Everything is starting to run together...I should have been taking notes!!!)
