What is a "sandwiched" cabin?

[izdgrama]

Can anyone help with an answer to the question above? We will have one on HAL NA. Thanks so much

You are referring to a term that someone used themselves and not something that is readily used on CC. I think that the poster to your other thread was just pointing out that you have staterooms on either side of you, rather than being a corner room, etc - like a sandwich. :p

Thanks! I just didn't want to be missing something.

I would say it refers more to having cabins above and below you. You could be for instance below the dining room or below a club. That would not generally be a good thing.

That's what I think the term means.

Aren't there an awfully lot of cabins "sandwiched" by this definition? I am thinking of all those decks of balcony cabins on the Vista/Signature ships.

 

I wonder who makes use of this term and for what exact reason.

[crystalspin]

Yes there are whole decks "sandwiched", ones I certainly would prefer and recommend!

 

I might have used the term, although I don't think it was *to* the OP. If I used it it was in quotes, referring to an immediately-preceeding definition. I surely didn't invent the use of the metaphor, having seen it on CC for the years I have been reading.

My bad, I didn't leave "sandwiched" in quotes, and I did reply to the OP. But we're square now.

 

I gotta drink more coffee...

I'm pretty sure I've used it but maybe not on the HAL boards. Most cabins are sandwiched but a good portion are not.

Well this proves you can learn something every day on Cruise Critic. I've never heard or read about a 'sandwiched' cabin, thats a new one to me.;)

[bshow]

Total guess, but it might refer to a cabin with guest cabins above and below. This is my #1 criterion for cabin selection.

Not sure but can you order one from room service? ;) :D

Try the clubhouse!

Try the clubhouse!

 

I know that everyone raves about this but I found it meh. Now the room service chocolate cake is good:).

The infamous clubhouse varies ship to ship (this sounds familiar, doesn't it?)

 

The chocolate cake is something my hubbie orders from Room Service, two pieces at a time, and they ask, "Is that all? You only want cake??"

He should tell them, just bring the cake, don't cut it:D. That would be my style:D;). When I had the club last time they forgot my order after about about 50 min so I called. They likely made it fresh but the bread tasted like it was cold and rock hard. The whole thing just tasted dry.

It's normally a very good thing to be "sandwiched" which is having passenger cabins both directly above and below yours. :D
