Hi Gydell! You are probably getting sick of hearing this but we changed rooms (probably for the last time! I hope!)

We are going to be in #8188 now. lol. When we saw the pics from the float out today DH thought the rooms on the back of the ship looked cool and we thought we would try it. We changed (and saved 200 bucks!)

Thanks for keeping the list updated!

HA! I'll be able to toss things down onto your balcony from mine!

You looked beautiful!

Yes, Laura, you really did!!!!

Lorri, are you back home?

Lorri, are you back home?

Yes, got home about an hour ago - now I'm waiting for Pete and Joe to get home from Syracuse. The band placed 2nd at states today - score of 82.85!

 

[PBader]

They just keep getting better every week! I am glad Joe enjoys it so much. Well glad you made it back home, are you off tomorrow or was that just a really funny question?

Definately a silly question! I've got work tomorrow though I may go in a bit later than usual.

Are you on deck 9? We must be neighbors. We are in 9674. Being on the end of the ship looks like it will be very cool!

9170, so if I'm going to hit room 8188, I'd better be a good aim!

I was on another thread with pixs of the Dream. Is anyone else concerned with the rooms that face forward? I guess I will wait until reports on my room start coming in before I completely panic......

I've been posting all the pictures and analysis I can find in either the "special rooms" thread or the corner rooms thread. I'd be glad to help answer questions as well.

I have a forward facing corner room booked on the Dream in August 2011, but after seeing them built, opted to switch to other rooms for the Fantasy.

I have one of the corner rooms and am worried that I will be looking at the deck, not the ocean, through a porthole and then another piece of glass(2 windows that will be covered in salt).

Why did you decide against the corner room?

 

[lbgraves]

We would have booked one if you could sleep 4 in them.

Mainly because we wanted to try out some other rooms, have a preference for aft (at least on the existing ships - not sure if that will hold true for the Dream), and because we're not sure we're going to like the view.

We opted for the front corner room when we booked on opening day since we were intrigued by the size of the corner rooms, and the possibility that they may have had two windows (some of the early feedback from DCL.) (The aft corner rooms were all originally marked as accessible so we didn't try to book any of them.) We figured we'd book the room while it was available, and possibly try to change if the early reports weren't good.

As we saw the ship being built, we figured out that they would only have 1 window facing forward, and while slightly disappointed, we were still curious. Then we saw the additional covering being placed on top of the window. While it looked like a thin film type covering, and hopefully is stuck onto or close to the glass, I'm curious about what the view from the window will be.

Between our general preference for aft (again, not sure that preference will carry onto the Dream/Fantasy, and our concerns about whether we'll like the room, we opted for a non-connecting 8C room on Deck 7 aft when we booked the Fantasy. We currently have the same 8C room booked for the 3 Fantasy cruises we have reserved at the moment (2 in august in addition to this one)

Are you talking about the corner rooms? We have 4 and have booked 8006 (front left corner) for our Dream cruise.

Cool, well I'll look up to you and wave! I can't wait to hear what the corner rooms are like. Awesome job getting one. We didn't get one but we are still happy to be where we are!
