cello56 Posted April 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I am thinking about booking a four night Monarch of the Seas cruise. There are several forward Superior Ocean View on deck nine available. I know that they are partially obstructed by the lifeboats underneath on deck eight. I am bleary eyed from reading every past thread about which cabin is best, and now I am confused. Does anyone have any suggestions about which one to choose? The RCI person suggested 9010 as the best option. The remaining cabins are all at the very front of the ship. Thanks for your help.

JJ2sail Posted April 18, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Actually if you don't mind the motion from being all the way forward I would probably go for one of the first four cabins, as there is no lifeboat that far forward. Otherwise take the cabin near the elevators. You can still see over the lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinDawn Posted April 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2011 9036 Hands down. Our girls cruise always stays in the cabins right near the elevator on Deck 9. I have a picture but not sure where it is located on my computer right now. :( The first 5 cabins forward of the elevators have a small rubber boat instead of the full lifeboat so no real obstruction except your high up on a ship with a window. 9036 will put you over a life boat but if your going to be over one pick one by the elevators :D BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Posted April 19, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2011 From a deck plan found earlier on CC that I can not upload for some reason, I would say 9036 is not as obstructed. really looks like there is no obstruction but I have not been there so can not be 100% sure.

The obsturction was not that bad. When I booked it through Royal, the person suggested the same one and I took her advise. Not disappointed.

sky0000547 Posted April 19, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I am on the Monarch in September and reading from past threads that made me book cabin 9004. A question, is being so far in front really that bad for motion compare to aft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted April 19, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The only problem with me and the forward cabins on the Sovereign class of ships is the noise associated with the lowering of the anchor when at CocoCay. Loud and startling is an understatement. And at that hour of the day can be a great alarm clock, pretty early though. ;) Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark290 Posted April 19, 2011 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yes we heard them on deck 9. Tim By any chance do you remember which cabin you had and if so how was your view ? Do you think it matters which side of the ship you are on in terms of anchor noise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it matters which side of the ship you are onin terms of anchor noise ? Don't remember as it has been several years since that cruise. There are anchors on both sides of the ship and their use will vary dependent on wind direction. TIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted April 19, 2011 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2011 We have stayed in 9540, 9538, 9536 all are great. Right by the elevators, staff is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfan Posted April 19, 2011 #15 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm with CruisinDawn. I have done over 12 Monarch cruises and I always go for 9036. Right by the elevator. Straight down the stairs from the WJ. More importantly, muster is indoors in an air conditioned lounge, with a nice seat, watching the others standing outside in the heat.
