Hi -

That is a basic balcony cabin. If you go to

http://www.zydecocruiser.com/CarnivalDream/GrandMed/13Civitavecchia/cab3.htm

and scroll down to picture 6878, you can see a cabin that is similar.

We had Dream 8468 - one of the 2 wider aft balconies on Deck 8. Nearly twice the width of the standard aft at the same price.

Victory aft wrap 6461

We also had the 2 starboard extended balconies - 6451 & 6459. Made for a VERY long space when the dividers were open.

Love that he has it on film that the divider is getting worked on! We're now looking at Pride for July '10 but I know I will look for 6492 when we do book the Dream in the future!

Found this in a member review of the inaugural cruise

Cabin 7454 -

Overall the rooms were great, they have flat screen TVs and the beds were very good. The bed frame seemed a bit higher than previous ships, which means that most luggage should be able to fit under the bed. We had a Cat 9A corner cabin with a larger balcony at the aft, however the room layout meant that there was no small sofa in the cabin. There were small armchairs however. Other than the sound from toilets flushing, the sound insulation between rooms was very good – we never heard our neighbours.

So difficult to tell from the photos. Is the deck 7 cat 9A cabin interior any larger than the regular Cat 8s? Did the poster say they were very happy in general with this cabin ? I wish I had a bit more information! Thanks!

Since there is no couch or chairs I think there might just be less "moving around" space in the wraps. I'm gonna book a plain old aft balcony (they all used to be 8Gs, now there are new codes dependent upon the deck).

Actually, we'll have 2, so we'll still have a bigger balcony. :-)

These are pics posted by Mafiadon - no room for a couch on Deck 7 aft wraps - looks like you get a stool for the vanity area. No one has posted pics of the Deck 6 wraps. Someone said they had a couch, but I need to see pics to be a believer.

There are the pictures of my 9a room 7459

 

 

 

 

Please make sure you come back with pics of your cabin & balcony! (If you can sneak into any of the other cabins as well, please feel free. "Hi, I'm here as a representative of Cruise Critic and would like some pictures of your cabin, please.")

Balcony bound - John Heald has said the dividers will be moved as the ship moves from NY to FL so the 2 on Deck 8 will become wrap arounds. If the couch is the deal breaker (it was for me on Deck 7), you might want to call again, ask to speak to a supervisor and make sure you have links on hand to give / send as you speak to them.

Mafiadon -

You rock and have answered my question. This room would work for hubby & me but not with a 10 year old as well.

How did you feel about floor space? Was there room to get around the bed?

Well, it's nice the mistake is recognized in regards to the deck 8 wraps but I hope the people who end up in this cabin are OK with dorm room space and no seating.

I'm anxiously awaiting pics of 7459 - that's the cabin we might book for our summer cruise. I need room, and I need a couch.

Am now looking at the the whole row of aft balconies that are available on Deck 6. Perhaps that would be the better thing to do.

I'm looking to book a July cruise and am waiting for pics of the Deck Six & Seven Cabins before I do. A couch would be nice as our 10 year old ends up in our room even though we book her with her big sister. I know someone posted that their deck 6 cabin had a couch but I really need to see it and the cabin configuration before I do so.

Had a wrap on Deck 6 of the Victory. Freaking amazing to have all the space - had the next 2 cabins down the side and had all dividers open as well.
