Explorer 1688/ Independence 1700

[velmasue]

We have stayed in Explorer Cabin 1688 and really loved the extra room. We enjoyed the large balcony, including the little "cave" in the corner.

 

We have a 24-hour hold on Independence for Cabin 1700. From what I have seen it looks like they are very similar in size (if not identical). Has anyone stayed in both 1688/1388 and 1700/1400?

I have only stayed in 1400 on Liberty but here are some pics. I believe the only difference is the pole on the balcony.

Here are two more for the balcony, different angle.

workathome,

 

Thank you. Great pictures! I love the size of the room and the pole in the middle comes in handy when the seas get a little rough. It really does look identical---there was a pole on the balcony of 1688, maybe a little more curved or lower?

 

Those corner afts are hard to beat!

Unfortunately it was our first cruise and I really don't know how I would like a regular balcony now!!!!!

We had 1700 on both Freedom and Liberty. LOVED IT!! Just booked Independence hoping to book 1700 and win the Triple Crown No luck!!

 

Got a Junior Suite on Deck 10 instead
