beancounterbeth Posted April 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2005 We have booked royal promenade view room 8309 on the Explorer of the Seas for 8/28/05. Is this a good room? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrudy Posted April 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I was hoping to see more responses to this question, since I am in the same location on the Voyager next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Teeara Posted April 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I was in PR 8587 (aft midship) on Mariner last year. It would appear your cabin is further back than mine was. Interior space will not be a problem. I found the cabin to be rather spacious. I loved it. The sofa that overlooks the Promenade was comfy and allowed you to look down into the Promenade. Because of your location, however, I would not recommend trying to view the Parade from your cabin. You are too far up and away from the action. I don't think you are going to have any problems with your cabin. If I ever sail a Voyager class again and don't get a balcony I would not hesitate to book a PR cabin. Just don't forget to close the drapes when you change your clothes!!!! :eek: Enjoy your cruise! Theresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beancounterbeth Posted April 22, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Jerrudy, I ended up calling my travel agent and switching to 8291. She agreed with me that I would probably be able to see more from that room and would have less noice due to the fact that it is farther away from the stairs. Good luck!

KeyOfSea Posted April 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Someone else posted that you see more of the Purser's desk or whatever is below you than the Promenade so I switched our friends (who were supposed to be in 8309) to a different cabin that is more toward the center of the Promenade (and not the center of the ship). I don't know that we needed to do that but I felt more comfortable doing it. This will be our friends' first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrudy Posted April 22, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Our cruise is next month in cabin 8609 on the VOS, I'll let you know how the view is. since it is only a 5 night cruise, I don't foresee us spending too much time in the cabin, and I like the idea of it being so close to steps and elevators. I am not the type of person to be watching a parade from my window, I would rather be in the parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamo0050 Posted April 22, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I have stayed in 6307 on the Mariner (right next door, two decks down), I loved it. I am a big people watcher and you have a great view of the staircase. Very fun on formal nights!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrudy Posted April 22, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks lamo0050, That sounds encouraging, I originally had 8591 booked about 8 or 9 months ago then had it changed to 8609 to be closer to the centrum of the ship, not even thinking about the view, because I knew I would probably not be in my cabin, while everyone is having fun on the ship. I thought I made a mistake in changing, but now I think I'll be fine, closer to the elevator and steps will only take me a minute to join in the fun.
