AnnArbor Posted August 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Does anybody know how the cabin is laid out on a "sideway" cabin. Cabin 8612 or 8591 for an example? I can't find anything on any site. Thinking about going on a Canada / New England cruise next October. Have not cruised NCL before. Mitsugirly had one on deck 12 I believe and I was wondering if they all are laid out like that one.

don't-use-real-name Posted August 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2015 If you have a membership in Cruisedeckplans.com sideways orientated stateroom 9173 has 6 pics of the arrangement. Ok you don't - all the PR pics you see in the fancy brochures show an inside cabin as a rectangle that you enter on the short side and look at two beds either together or split apart at the far end of the cabin. The small foyer you enter thru has the bath facility either on the right or left the other side will have storage closets and cubical for the life vests. A bit further into the cabin will be a small writing desk/table with the ships inhouse TV system telephone etc. and below that in a cubby hole the mini-fridge. Ok that is the standard inside cabin. The cabins you are looking at are turned 90 degree and you enter in the middle of the cabin on the long side. To the right or left will be one bed or two twin beds* split apart. Just in front of you will be TV communications writing desk mini-fridge etc. On the opposite side will be the bath facility storage closets life vest storage. Same features as the other cabins just orientated 90 degrees with entry in the middle of the cabin instead of a far end. *Feature to note - one of the beds will be next to a wall with a passageway on the other side maybe noisy ? The design of these cabins is great in that some have a wide entry door for the handicap. The open area is immediately in front of the entry door instead of being deep in the standard arrangement. If you have browsed the deck plan of the NCL DAWN you will note that these cabins are centered near the middle of the ship in the vicinity of elevators* and some of them have bends in the passageway going forward or aft. Nice central location but with turns and bends in the passageway. * Elevators and the location can be an area of more noise and traffic. There are not many of these cabins - 21 on Deck 8. Pricing should be not much different from the standard inside cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnArbor Posted August 14, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks don't-use-real-name that's what I thought. In Mitsugirlys review she talked about the desk being much bigger so I wasn't sure if anything else was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on 12 on Dawn/Star were newly added when they removed Spinnaker lounges back in 2011 and 2010 IIRC. Most of the rooms on 12 that are insides appear to have the two beds on the floor and two on the walls - one on each side. I have not seen any other insides on Dawn/Star with this setup. I checked the site I usually use for cabin pics and they don't have the ones you are asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi The two cabins that you mentioned, 8591 and 8612 are sideways cabins, where the door is in the middle of the room (quite). We have stayed in such and two ocean views on deck 8 and found it very convenient. The side ways obstructed ocean view (8612) has slightly more space (about as wide as the door) between the sleeping area and the table/desk. These do not have the bigger/longer desk. The longer desk is in the OV's (obstructed ocean views) on deck 8 that are not sideways. The Dawn is a fantastic ship and has an absolutely fantastic crew headed by one of the best HD's I have ever seen! You will enjoy NCL. We always do! :) Edited August 15, 2015 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted August 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yes, when you get a sideways cabin, it's pretty much the same as far as the "bedroom" to one side and the "bathroom/closet" to the other. There may be odds and ends differences here and there, but for the most part they are about the same. We stayed in a sideways cabin on the Spirit once, but the Spirit is an odd class ship (and one of our favorite smaller ships to date) and the great thing about that sideways cabin was that the bed to one side also had a couch beside that. So, when you folded out the couch, it was like 1 big 3 person bed. LOL But still the same set up with the bedroom on 1 side and the bathroom area on the opposite side. I would pick a sideways cabin any day over a regular cabin. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a membership to cruisedeckplans and for the life of me can not figure out how to look at these pictures. Where do I go? I tried pulling up the deck plans but they only show very few pictures of the entire interior cabins. Anyone have any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a membership to cruisedeckplans and for the life of me can not figure out how to look at these pictures. Where do I go? I tried pulling up the deck plans but they only show very few pictures of the entire interior cabins. Anyone have any advice? OK - log on to the CruiseDeckPlans.com site - When the window opens with the staterooms on the left side of the screen - Move down to the bottom to the Interior Staterooms - Look on the right side of that display - Find the CAMERA right next to it ALBUMS - CLICK ON IT - New window opens with various staterooms in light blue print - You can start here to find a cabin that is configured like what you have - Note that there are 7 pages of these images to review - keep looking. OK I did a bit of research for you look for cabin 9173 - 9173 is a close match* to the one you were looking for 9115. * Maybe a mirror image ! Click on 9173 for the -6- pics of the layout if you look just below and to the right you can click on slide show to get 6 pixs in a slide showing. I have copied the -6- pixs - to display below in case you have trouble: So there you have it - want to see more on this ship or others go to the page with staterooms on in slide down to the category you are searching - look for the small CAMERA and ALBUMS next to - click on Albums - look for cabins with a similar layout and browse. For more photos of the NCL DAWN look at the top of the page in the Dark Blue banner bar for PICS/INFO for pics of the common public areas. Yes it was tough for me the first few times filtering; searching and matching similar cabins. How did all these pictures happen well cruisers took pictures of the cabins and other ship features and had CDP assemble Albums. CDP pays a small token for the rights to display the pictures if they are NEW and have not been used before. The new NCL ESCAPE will be the ship to be on for a photo exposition.
