Fantasy OV (Cat 8's)

[Wes1stTrip2016]

We are very much looking forward to booking our first cruise on the Fantasy for October of 2017 once the rates are released.

I'm pretty well settled on OV as I love the giant sit in port holes.

Are all OV's front or rear of ship...after looking at the deck plans it didn't appear any are midship?

Also, any recommendations on deck 5 or 6?

Do you hear much noise out of the clubs if on 5 with them or on 6 above them?

How do I know I'm not picking an "obstructed view" room?

Thank you!

We are booked in an 8A on deck 5 next February. Those have the mini-suite layout.

I found this site helpful with special room layouts.

There are 9B oceanview rooms on deck 2. But you are correct that from deck 5 and up the oceanview rooms are forward and aft, with verandahs across the midship and fully aft.

Enjoy your cruise!

How far are you still above the water line on Deck 2? Also is it a long haul to get to everything from there? Thank you!

I haven't sailed the Fantasy, but I have sailed that category on the Dream, and the 8A cabins (which are the same in both ships) are absolutely wonderful. Two giant portholes and a spacious room layout--I can't recommend these highly enough! (The only downside is no split bathroom.)

If you look at this picture, you can see the deck where the room numbers are in the 2000s. That's deck 2. Some distance above the waterline.

We sailed on Deck 2 in the OV rooms on the Fantasy and loved the location. We were close to the MDRs, the theaters, the adult clubs, and the kids clubs. The windows are wonderful to sit in and we didn't feel anywhere close to the waterline.

I have one (well, it's not MINE, I saved it when someone else did it), but it doesn't show the waterline as well. Are you asking for the room numbers?

Would deck 2 be less expensive then deck 5 or 6? Or is it same Cat, same price?

Would deck 5 be the one just below the life boats? Also on that deck, it papers to be a walk decking, so essentially are you sea and people watching out the porthole?

Which deck did you choose?

We were on deck 6. Our room was technically a forward room, but I believe it was the closest to midship of the 8A rooms on that floor.

Here's a thread that (I believe) shows all sides of the Dream with room numbers noted. The Fantasy rooms should be the same. If reading through the thread further than just looking at the room numbers in the pictures, I believe DCL reclassified some room categories so references to categories may not be accurate in some of the posts.
