AryMay Posted June 3, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks so much! We have this cabin booked for next February 13th sailing. Great to see pictures of it. Sorry I am late responding...I just saw your post. I used some random clips that I had on my refrigerator. I know a got a couple of them at Walmart in the kitchen gadget section. Another one was similar to the photo below. None of our hats were very heavy...not sure if the clips would have been sturdy enough if they were. When we did our Alaska cruise last year (on Princess) I used magnetic clips to hold large maps of our cruise route and also other papers that I wanted to keep track of. (That was the first cruise that I realized that the walls were magnetic.) The clips have become a permanent part of my packing list now! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryMay Posted June 3, 2015 Author #27 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Was the cabin noisy being behind the elevator? No...surprisingly we didn't hear noise from the elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthetic Posted July 8, 2015 #28 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I have this room booked aboard Glory in November and was curious about the layout. It is so kind of you to post these pictures! Thank you for the insight! -Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggyo Posted July 9, 2015 #29 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We have a sideways cabin on the Elation booked. We will have a trundle bed also. Will that fit in and still have walk way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasey Posted July 14, 2015 #30 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We have this cabin booked for Jan 2016, did you hear more noise from the hall as the bed is right there? We don't want to change rooms, but I want to get the quieter side, lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I really don't know. The Elation is a totally different class of ship so the cabin layouts most likely will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryMay Posted July 15, 2015 Author #32 Share Posted July 15, 2015 We have this cabin booked for Jan 2016, did you hear more noise from the hall as the bed is right there? We don't want to change rooms, but I want to get the quieter side, lol!! I had the "hall side" of the room and didn't notice any noise. Since the cabin is towards the back of the ship there really wasn't much traffic going by anyway. Be advised...if you put the beds together, then the person on the other side will have to maneuver around the end of the TV cabinet to get out of bed. You might be better off taking a chance with a little noise! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDayButToday Posted July 15, 2015 #33 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for the pictures, these are definitely the best I have seen anywhere online of the sideways rooms. We have booked one of them on the Conquest for Feb 2016. I'm oddly excited to try a "different" room, and it really does seem to be more roomy than a standard inside. I think we will be ok scooting past the desk with the beds together (although we will definitely have to see when we get on the ship), and I'm going to be keeping my eye out for some strong magnet hooks to help the husband keep his stuff organized.

gailjen Posted September 8, 2015 #35 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks for posting the pictures, if I can find a Quad sidewards I'm going to book for our teens on Vista, seems to have more floor space than a regular inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PekingeseLady Posted March 7, 2018 #36 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I wanted to resurrect this as a few of us were interested in pics for a sideways cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejascruisers Posted April 25, 2020 #37 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks for posting this! We have a similar sideways cabin booked on the Freedom (8424) next year and based on this, I am excited for the change of pace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to respond to the previous post...we did not near noise from the elevator. Surprising since the cabin seems to share a wall with the elevator shaft. (When friends saw our cabin on the deck plan they commented it looked like you had to walk THROUGH our room to get on the elevator!) 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really our only TV watching was: 1. To check out the nightly dinner menus on the interactive channel 2. To watch the "front of the ship" camera channel. We left the TV on (muted) every night when we went to bed. The slight glow provided just enough light to be able to get to the bathroom. As the sun came up in the morning, the light was our signal that it was time to get up! Basically the TV became our window. A couple of times I saw that there was a pink glow on the water so grabbed my camera and ran up to Deck 10 and took some nice sunrise photos...and because I was up early...I got to see a bunch of silly towel animals ready for their day by the pool! Staff works hard to do this for us for a short time. Enjoy it every time. Once a woman was taking as many animals as she could carry. Should have been arrested!

Chief93 Posted May 3, 2020 #41 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I have an observation about the sideways cabin. I have booked the sideways balcony cabins on my last four or five cruises. Lemme see if I can splain it. In a regular cabin, when you're in bed, your body is aligned with the bow/stern of the ship. In a sideways cabin, it is perpendicular. Crazy, but in your humble servants opinion, the sensation of the boat moving is different. I find that I makes me slightly more prone to need a meclizine. This is in no way a negative, and I have a sideways cabin booked on my next cruise. Just wondering if anyone else has felt this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
