Verandah walls - question?

[abacab]

We need some advice regarding choosing a verandah room.

Most rooms have just a partition between the verandahs. But you know how the rooms are set up in clusters of five, and then between each cluster there is one of those solid steel walls between the verandahs?

We are trying to decide whether to book a stateroom that has one of those solid walls between its verandah and the next-door verandah.

What are the pros and cons? Anyone have opinions one way or the other? Does it block the view much to have one of those walls? Does it help with privacy? Wind? Smelling your neighbor's cigarette smoke?

Personally, I would not worry about what type of side divider your cabin verandah had....we have had both and found no difference. Who knows if you will have a neighbor that smokes, is noisy, or whatever....so I would not put too much effort in choosing a cabin based on the side divider.

Don't see how the side divider would block any view...when you look out you are looking forward and to the sides a bit, but the divider between the verandahs should not impact your view at all.

Others may have a different point of view but I don't think it makes a difference.

Thanks for the tip. The reason I thought it might block the view is that the solid wall side also has an outer bit of wall that kind of curves around the top and bottom of a bit of the verandah ... so it blocks the top and bottom corner of the verandah a little. Hard to describe, but if you look at a picture of the ship you can see it.

We've had one of the verandahs with a solid side wall - I liked it, thought it felt a bit more private than the others. It didn't block any view.

The solid wall won't make a difference as far as wind or smoke. It would offer more privacy, as there are gaps around the standard dividers, but then you'd still not have that same amount of privacy on the other side, so that doesn't really factor in. No difference in view to speak of, either.

This is my view too and the reason we like to book one.

From experience rooms 6616 and 6116 on the Magic definitely do have a solid wall one side (amongst others of course)....not so sure about those on the Dream yet though
