c-cruise Posted June 11, 2010 #26 Share Posted June 11, 2010 My guess would be that it is designed this way due to the weight and center of gravity of the superstructure on such a long relatively narrow hull. Mosts of the Panamax ship designs across the various lines have a similar "bump-out" style design to the superstructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusingici Posted June 17, 2010 #27 Share Posted June 17, 2010 We had D501 right under the bump.Balcony is half open half covered which was GREAT.These rooms are 1 six inch wall from the most expensive suites on the ship. They are good size and have a good size balcony ,bigger than in cabins on the bumpout. Also the view is perfect and wind never a problem.Also being so near the stairway made it a quick trip down the stairs to the open promenade to get views and pictures of things on the other side of the ship. Hi Tom -- because of your post and description I am now the proud owner -- or rather, renter, of D501 on a Panama Canal cruise for 2012 -- a long time to wait - but I did not want someone else grabbing that cabin! Thank you for posting. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
