ragen Posted March 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2013 a few have a nice shelf/extra setting space of about 3 feet wide at the portholes, due to the shape of the hall of the ships angle, great place to climb up and set to look out, or perfect extra little spot to place you're suitcase,...they are numbered: R4,R8,R12,R26, & R3,R7,R17,R29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraezzell Posted March 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2013 We were one deck up (Main deck). The rooms were the same size. However, there was a nice size alcove that we used to store our items to get them out of the way. We also sat up there and looked out the portholes at times.

SHERRIFL Posted March 23, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thank you both for your replies! I have the chance to get the rooms you mentioned on R deck BUT also have option of U3...what do you think?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I always pick the higher deck myself, less decks to get to my cabin from most everything. The more forward you are the more motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the chance to get the rooms you mentioned on R deck BUT also have option of U3...what do you think?:confused: i would choose r29 over u3. its about 10 cabins closer to mid-ship and only 1 deck up from where you disembark and embark in ports. you can scoot up the stairs if there is a line for the elevator.

SHERRIFL Posted March 25, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted March 25, 2013 the farthest back I can get is R11.....doesn't look much different from U3 in placement....so would you pick a higher deck and go to U3? :p Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So R8 or U3?? I am assuming U3 has the same set up as R3????:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011mom Posted March 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2013 If you look at a photo of the ship you can see that the portholes on the lower decks extend way further back on the ship than any higher decks. So when I book a porthole, I always book the furthest back/lowest down so that I'm furthest away from the anchor noises etc. My next cruise I'm booked into M29 - the very furthest aft on the main deck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4fun&fun4all Posted March 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We had R-1 on our last sailing on Fantasy. It was our most favorite cabin so far. Loved having only one neighbor. Here is R-1 facing the cabin door From the other side The little hallway that led to our cabin Here is an idea of how deep our "shelf" was Just be sure that if/when you decide to mess with those porthole covers and you want to close them that you secure them as they were before. I didnt double check them and as I was sitting up there, one of them fell and clocked me on top of the head. It hurrrrrt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COJO1956 Posted March 26, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Anyone know if the "extra shelf" space is also on an Empress Deck porthole? We had PT cabin E7 on Fantasy last December. It had the same shelf as the R1 Cabin posted above. It was a great cabin. We are booked again on the Fantasy in E1 for our Jan cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked again on the Fantasy in E1 for our Jan cruise. Hello COJO1956, Looks like alot of our great Dec 8th cruise are on this thread. Two things we liked about porthole cabins were they are priced as inside cabins and some are larger than true inside cabins. The downside was motion of ship, thrusters when arriving in port, but we would book them again;) Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieastrosfan Posted March 26, 2013 #22 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've been in E4 on the Ecstasy and it had the extra space near the portholes, except maybe slightly smaller (but still a very good size). Layout was the same as the cabin pictured in the thread, but we had the beds separate, they were in an L shape with the foot of the other bed by the TV, and the head of the bed on the wall bordering the bathroom.

Cruizinman Posted March 26, 2013 #23 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If you look at the deck plans you can see where some of the PT rooms extend out further than other PT rooms . Those rooms will be larger ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meredith Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD we have the beds separated but have one put along each side wall. this leaves the floor open in front of the portholes so you can get up close and look out.
