Grand Suites--Whisper and Shadow---exactly the same?

This may seem like trivial question, but it has some importance to us.

 

In April/May, we enjoyed a cruise on the Silver Shadow, in a Grand Suite (801). We had never stayed in a Grand Suite before. So, before we left, we had looked closely at the room layout diagram and the pictures on the website to better understand what we were heading for. Sometimes, suite details have a minor, but useful impact on some of the items we bring along on travels.

 

When we boarded, we were surprised to discover that the actual suite was not the same as the layout diagram, nor the pictures.

 

In particular, the diagram had shown a small closet in the entry hall; in fact, there was none.

 

The diagram had shown the TV across from the couch; in fact, it was hung on a small wall not facing any of the comfortable furniture, beside the couch.

 

The diagram had shown the door to the bedroom was near the main bathroom door, and the closet was on the same wall as the bathroom. In fact, the door to the bedroom was at the opposite end of the room from the bath, and the closet was also completely across the bedroom from the bath.

 

Not serious differences, but each had an influence, and we would have like to have known in advance.

 

In October, we are on the Silver Whisper, again in 801. The website shows the same layout, but interestingly one less picture (the one picture that had accurately shown the Shadow). Seemingly, Whisper is an identical ship, but perhaps after various dry docks and modifications, they differ?

 

The key question---on the Whisper, is the Grand Suite layout indeed the same as the diagram? Or, like on the Shadow, does the layout differ as detailed above?

 

Thanks!

Obviously. But this is not a case of mirror images.

 

That's totally not the issue. The position of features within the suite, within the rooms, was different from the diagram. (As detailed, for example, hall closet appeared in the diagram, not in the actual suite. The walk-in bedroom closet was next to the bathroom in the diagram, across the room in the actual suite.)

 

I was asking if someone knew the actual suite layout on the Whisper.
