Anyone have info on 9130 and 7150 on the Dream? Trying to visualize where on these pictures it is, but I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

9130 is equivalent to 9630, just on the other side of the ship. 7150 is equivalent to 7648, just on the other side of the ship. It should be two decks down and three rooms further toward the back from 9130.

8590 - Any info on this cabin?

Only that it was the first cabin I ever located on the ship since it's so easy to find! 8590 is one of the accessible cabins on the right side of the ship, and is easy to find since it makes up part of the white blank space on the right side side of the ship near midship (along with the verandah door to the left of the blank space toward the back.)

Can't tell you anything about the inside though!

Any reports on 7194? We have never sailed on the back of the ship, but there weren't a lot of options left when I booked a few days ago. Thanks in advance.

I've been gone for a while....are there pictures somewhere of 9630? Can you point me to them? Please.

According to the first post, there are no secret verandah rooms on this ship. I don't want to read all 1300 posts! LOL! Can somebody tell me if there ARE secret verandah or secret porthole rooms on this ship? Thanks!

There are plenty of obstructed verandahs, and rooms to avoid if possible, but as of yet, there are no official SV rooms on the Dream. With the Magic/Wonder, it took time, and they downgraded the SV rooms based on customer complaints. There are a few potential hints on the virtual deck plan that show one obstructed verandah cabin as an oceanview cabin, and another obstructed verandah cabin as a 6C cabin (which doesn't exist yet as a category) but DCL says that's an error (yet one they haven't fixed in months.)

The closest to a secret porthole I've found are the sideways facing 9A cabins on decks 6, 7 & 8 (rooms x008 and x506). These are 9A room which have the same extra large porthole of the Cat 8 rooms. They are the only Cat 9 rooms with large portholes, but the rest of the room isn't upgraded to Cat 8 fittings, so it's not a true reclassification. The 8A cabins on decks 5 & 6 also benefit from a second large porthole and a larger floorspace (but wonky bathrooms), but these rooms often sell at a premium (higher than some verandahs) so they aren't a bargain unless you are looking to get twice the space, or a mini-suite feel, without the suite price (and can live with the bathrooms).

Wow! Thank you for all the info and so fast!

Based on the info in your first few posts, I changed to 8504. It's listed as a deluxe oceanview. Is that a good choice?

8504 is one of the corner "attic" rooms as someone called them earlier this week. Huge floorplan, small window, slanted wall and weird arrangement if you're a family with kids. We're actually in 8006 in August (sister room on the other side of the ship), and I would probably change rooms if I could since I have not idea how the kids will nap in there but we'll see after we sail.

mmouse37 has posted many pictures of 8504 recently from her January cruise, so you have plenty of pictures to look at. I think there may be some just a page back on this thread. If not, definitely in the "attic" room thread and other 9A threads.

I saw the pictures in this thread, but none of the porthole. I noticed that it's an "attic" type room, but I don't have a problem with that. We don't have kids, so that's not a problem.

So small window, eh?

There are some other views out the porthole - rooms 7004 is one I just saw in the 9A thread. All the portholes forward facing are the same, and the view varies only from which part of the front of the ship you see.

The window is a smaller window, and it's installed on an angle, so it's hard to look out if you're the type to press your face against the glass. If you're just looking for some natural light, then it's okay.

If you don't have kids, then you'll have a very large room for yourselves. Note that if you are TV watchers, I think you have to sit on the bed to watch it given the placement of the couch over by the porthole in an alcove.

I actually LIKED that the couch was by the window. In fact, that's why I chose it over a couple others that I saw pictures of where the couch WASN'T by the window.

I think we'll love it. Thanks for your help!

We sailed March 31st in room 7666. Here are some pictures from that room. Just a basic veranda room and we loved it.

I don't know if you saw this post but there's a link there that says that YOUR cabin is one of the "highly rated by cruise experts." There aren't any pics (that I can find), but that at least sounds very encouraging!

 

[CaliGrrl]

Just booked room 8024 on the Dream for next year. Anyone have info on this room? It is a 5B. Are there any category 5's that have a bigger veranda/room? WOuld it be better to be on a higher deck? The agent on-board said something about room on deck 9 being a bit bigger and the veranda bigger?!?! Was she just referring to a category 4?

Any help appreciated. We are traveling as 3 adults and a 4-year old.

thanks!
