barnacle_boy Posted October 23, 2015 #5101 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Loving all the pics! I'm disappointed to see that the bunks don't recess fully into the ceiling. They did on GETAWAY and it makes the small cabin feel far more spacious. Also no bumping your head into them. Attached is a pic of my cabin on GETAWAY, and you can see the outline of the 3rd berth recessed fully into the ceiling. You didn't even know it was there. A lot of the 3rd and 4th bunks in interior cabins on Breakaway and Getaway don't recess fully either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare eroller Posted October 23, 2015 #5103 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A lot of the 3rd and 4th bunks in interior cabins on Breakaway and Getaway don't recess fully either. Interesting. Seems odd to have two different designs. I wonder if it has something to do with the ceiling heights? Maybe on certain decks the beds recess and on others they don't? I thought all the cabin deck heights were the same but perhaps not. Anyway I guess I was lucky to have a cabin where they recessed. It really made a big difference, especially in such a small space.

It really made a big difference, especially in such a small space. To be honest, I'm not sure why. It's interesting that, even on the latest megaships, there can still be a wide variance in a single grade of cabin. The assumption is everything is uniform these days, but there can still be surprises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig-n-carol Posted October 23, 2015 #5108 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Do we have any consensus of the preferable deck for H5 Haven Penthouses, deck 17 vs. 18? We're looking at booking another cruise for early 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that, even on the latest megaships, there can still be a wide variance in a single grade of cabin. The assumption is everything is uniform these days, but there can still be surprises! Yes apparently there can be. You envision everything being prefab and uniform, but as you point out there are still variances. Thanks for the info. I actually miss the days when almost every cabin was unique, even within the same category. You would study the deck plans as each cabin configuration was detailed right down to where the beds, dressers, chairs, and toilet were located. Then you would pick the very best cabin possible based on your preferences and some back-ups just in case. It was fun. I think QE2 was the last ship I did that with. These days it doesn't make much difference. The biggest difference is where the bed is located, and that is only on the ships with the interconnecting cabin design (narrow in one section, wider in another). I think I read where that design enables something like 10 more cabins per deck on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingcasinos Posted October 23, 2015 #5116 Share Posted October 23, 2015 In all my cruises, I can't remember an American Captain. It's always been an Italian, British, Australian or Spanish Captain at the helm. First time for everything.[emoji631] Captain Evans (sp?) was captain when I sailed on the BA August, 2014. I also was surprised when I met him that he was an American! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chrome; right click, open Source, in the abacadabra of the source row 170 usually has the URL of the .jpg. After that it's just copy paste to CC with image tags. You can also search Facebook with the use of hashtags although it seems FB doesn't sort on date/time.
