What is wrong with 10602 or 10604?

[micknme]

We are wanting to book two connecting rooms on either the Dream or Fantasy for 2017. On every cruise we have been looking at, 10602/10604 have been available while most all other connecting rooms are already taken.
Can someone who has stayed in these rooms, please let me know what is up with these two rooms.
Thanks so much!!!

The few reviews on here are ok. They do mention noise from above and the overhang that shades the verandah.

Room 10602/04 cat 4A on Fantasy June 2014. Absolutely nothing wrong with the cabins. Highest cost category before concierge which might impact some decisions. Very midship so you walk to stairs and elevators. But not terribly so. Not far from laundry ( good on 7n). Verandas were great and the partition between rooms can be opened BUT I will mention overhead noise from deck 11 with chairs moving around. Not all day tho but definitely starting with breakfast. I enjoyed the room but chose to go down 1 deck for my upcoming cruise.

The rooms are too expensive.

Other than the overhang, neither of these rooms have the partially obstructed verandah from the decorative I beam up the sides of the ship, so that's not a factor.

Thanks everyone for all your replies. I know deck 10 can be noisy at times but since we are all very early risers, I'm hoping it won't be a problem. We have always gone with deck 9 but since it isn't available, I will grab these two rooms.
Thanks again for your help!

It could be something as simple as both rooms sleep 5, so they're not presented to people with 4 in a party at first look. As far as I know, the website only shows some of the availabilities, not all when you look to book a room. If that's true, it might be those were not shown first.

If you have a party of 4 and are looking to book online, the website will show you all rooms available that will sleep 4, including those that sleep 5.

But, you're correct, the website will only show about 6-8 rooms at a time. Regardless of how many more rooms may be available. I really miss the option of "select a room number" that was on the old website so you could check if the one you really want it available. Now, if you have a specific room you want, and it's not offered up in the choices, your only recourse is to call and manually find out if it's available.

I really miss the old option of selecting a room number. I'm finding it is taking so much longer to book what I want.

After reading so many reviews about noise on deck 10, the people we are travelling with were not too sure of taking 10604 so after much looking we were able to switch rooms to 8102/8104. I'm sure hoping these rooms will be ok. This will teach me to book the day the cruises become available. I will miss overlooking CC from our staterooms.

Deck 10 was way too noisy for us. I think you will be happier on deck 8.

Thanks Quicklabs. I think so too. DIS is so helpful in planning the perfect cruise!!!
