steff613 Posted January 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We plan on sailing on the Legend in Sept and getting a balcony cabin, are there any "stay away from cabins?" The diagrams with the life boats make it hard to tell how they are not all "obstructed views" Ive posted this on the cabin board but have only gotten a few responses and i want to book soon before ES is gone.

This is cabin 5231 and it was obstructed view. But we love it. You just can't look down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyluver Posted January 2, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2012 we have also stayed in the obstructed view cabins and i would book them again, you get a balcony for a cheaper rate. If you can book a cabin in between two live boats and not near the front of the ship, the first 3 lifeboats are higher and you cant see over them. this was from the miracle legends sister ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steff613 Posted January 2, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for the replies I trying to take a little extra time before i book, my last cruise on the liberty i listened to chairs scraping overhead all night, while it didnt ruin the cruise if i can avoid it i'd like to!

hockeyluver Posted January 2, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2012 we heard no noise from anywhere, there are cabins above these so no deck chair scraping. IMHO you get more bang for your buck with these cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdoggCruiser Posted January 2, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We had an extended balcony. The only thing we heard were balcony doors slamming. I tried to upload pics but i got errors. THey are on cruislinerooms dot com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishlinny Posted January 2, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Deck 8 is where you might hear chairs scraping from above. If you're under the buffet area, you probably won't hear chairs scraping but you could hear carts being wheeled, etc. (The chairs and tables are on carpet while the walkways are marble). We have had 2 cabins on 8...heard nothing one cruise and noise on the other. Safest bet is to pick decks 5 thru 7. If you're above deck 5 and get a balcony over the lifeboats, you won't even know it unless you stand at the railing and look straight down.

serene56 Posted January 2, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2012 this class ship is awesome when it comes to sound proofing. (but I guess it depends on how much you really hear) the obstructed balconies are obstructed- if you gotta get one of those try to get the ones between the lifeboats- the deck plans will show you which ones. do not get the first three cabins- the life boats sit higher. There are three ULTRA balconies which are 8K. these cost us about 250 more then the obstructed view. 6234 is for 4 people- booking for 2 you get a chance of being moved. 7258 and 8232 is for 2 people. http://www.travelingnuts.com/2011cruise/images/DSCN0188.JPG an obstructed balcony is VERY narrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
