6160 should be one of the least obstructed views that there is. Certainly a clear view looking forward and straight out with only a slight obstruction looking aft. I had this cabin booked for next Christmas until I decided to book 2 cabins instead of 4 of us in the quad.

You may save some money, but you are trading your view if you trade 6150 for 6570.

 

6570 is an obstructed view balcony (DO) whereas 6150 is a superioor (D8) and has no obstruction. I didn't post pictures, but you can find my review of 6566 here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=45095696#post45095696

 

Hope this helps...

Oops, that changes everything. I did some detective work and probably came up with as many questions as answers, but hopefully this helps give you the info you need without confusing things too much.

 

Bottom line, I still think 6160 is a better stateroom than 6570, based on the view. While I didn't find any (verifiable) pictures of 6160, it is mentioned frequently in the Quantum threads as the most desirable of the DO category.

 

6570 sits in the valley between two hump sections; so in addition to no view down, there's no fore or aft view either. The deckplan should illustrate what I'm talking about: http://www.cruisecritic.com/quantum-of-the-seas-deck-plans/dp/?shipID=705&deck=6

 

Silentbob007 had 6570 and has some pictures of cabin and view starting at # 24:

Now for the potentially confusing part, I found pictures that say they were taken in 6160, but the view doesn't make sense and I believe they were taken in 6164, either that or the deckplan doesn't match up with the onboard stateroom numbering. :confused:

This thread that says it has pictures of 6160 shows a very significant obstruction: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2129498&highlight=lifeboat

 

See post # 9, but something doesn't add up between the photos and the deck plan...

 

Matching up cabin to deck plan should make 6160 the balcony just forward of the white pillar in post # 34: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2018842&highlight=lifeboat&page=2

 

In the same thread, post # 38 says 6160 has 50% obstruction, as does 6570 per post # 24 so both cabins are the best sort of DO. (Royal's UK site lets you see additional stateroom info, but you have to find a sailing with the room available for sale)

 

OK, enough sleuthing for one night. I hope this helped rather than hindered...

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking the same as you on the pics of 6160, they don't add up? Hopefully someone can provide some pics soon.

 

Thanks

I don't have any pics but friends of ours stayed in this room. Obstruction is minimal with just a davit to the far left of the balcony. When you walk in to the cabin you can see ocean view through your balcony glass. One of the best DO category rooms, IMO.

Thanks for posting pics. Did the cabin seem quiet enough, looks like over photo area? Also curious if used pull out sods, how big compar e to bed, how comfortable?

 

Have this on hold and trying to decide whether to go ahead and put deposit down

 

Thanks

Hi, room was quiet, & there was a sofabed in the room which appeared to be the size of a double bed (we only had 1 person in it, so can't really say how easily it accommodated 2 people)

 

When the sofabed is pulled out, there is only about 4 inches between that & the vanity area, which is very much a squeeze, however, this wouldn't be specific to this room- this is normal for that category. The rooms are just narrow.

 

For an obstructed room I think it's great as you don't really notice any obstruction.

Hi Glad Trimble

 

Just wondered what layout the cabin had i.e. sofa bed next to balcony or bed next to balcony ? we're in 12160 in September and assume the way these ships work the cabins alternate this layout along each deck but all cabins directly above each other will probably have the same cabin layout.

Thanks a bunch. I also would be interested to know if bed by bathroom or balcony. Yes, I was just going to go with inside cabin for five day trip to Bermuda next year, but DOs were actually cheaper. My parents got the first non obstructed cabin next door. Thanks again.
