Pride cabin 5179

Just looking for the usual "anybody ever stayed in this cabin" type of info. It's a category 7A, but it's over a lifeboat without a cover. Any info greatly appreciated.

Sorry, not sure if this is the same category as you are asking about, but in November it was a cat. 7A - cabin 5236 on the Pride. It was obstructed towards the aft (where the smaller lifeboats are). The lifeboats came to the top of the railing and that was it. You could see out no problem, but looking down was obstructed.

Thanks. Yes...we have a cat 7A. I'm hoping that in 5179 the lifeboats come up to the bottom of the railing. I guess we'll see when we get there.

We've got cabin 5179 on the Pride later on this year. Would you mind taking and posting pics of the view fr the balcony of your cabin on your July 17th cruise? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for posting the pictures. I also have been looking at a Cat 7A cabin and wondered how obstructed the view was. This is very helpful.

We're going in January. Thanks! I'll check back for your pics!

You said you are going on a January cruise, which one? I just booked the Jan 24th cruise and I also selected an obstructed balcony, it was either 5184 or 5186. I had a post earlier asking a question about balconies on the Pride, and a person supplied a link to look at the cabins. There were not any pictures, but what it did say is which cabins are obstructed lifeboats and which ones are obstructed tenders. The tenders obstruct more of the balcony than the lifeboats.

We're booked for the 17th. Yes, I noticed that the posts indicated that you want to be towards the back (lifeboats as opposed to tenders) if you have a cat 7a.

I just came off the pride today and I was in cabin 5176 I assume the same just on the other side.the lifeboats will not effect your veiw to look out only down.I will try to post pics later.

I am looking forward to your pictures. I just booked 3 cabins cat 7A for my family.

Terri

here are some pictures of cabin.I hope they get posted I 'm not sure if i did it right.this is cabin

these pics are for cabin 5176 and hmc

Thank you so much. The pictures are very helpful! I just booked three cabins on that level for October 2010. I was afraid that the balcony was more obstructed than it really is.

the 2nd pic I was actually sitting down, its really not a bad cabin its midship and only 2 floors from dining room.

5177 on Pride first week of June.....great cabin.......it was in between life boats so I could see down and out.......you will be next door to where I was great cabin...do not worry...plus elevators are just around the corner....great location

I just came off the pride today and I was in cabin 5176 I assume the same just on the other side.the lifeboats will not effect your veiw to look out only down.I will try to post pics later.

8 years later your encouraging info came in handy. I upgraded to 5176 yesterday. Thanks!

We have been on the Pride 6 times, 7 is this Sunday. We have stayed in 7A staterooms on all but one cruise and twice in stateroom 5177 which is next door to 5179. We have no problem with the view from the stateroom. You cannot see directly down but you can look out with no problem. The floors above can't look directly down either because of the lifeboats. In my opinion the only staterooms I would try to stay away from are the staterooms by the first three lifeboats on each side of the ship because they are larger than the remaining lifeboats and may block your view of the horizon. But if they were the only staterooms left I would stay in one.
