venicia Posted June 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Can anyone that has just been on Majesty tell me how obstructed the view is from cabins on deck 9 on Majesty? Normally our group sailed on Enchantment and we all had balcony cabins. This is a yearly quick get away for us and we always use PC. Everyone has booked the cabins on deck 9 starboard side, but there has been some buzz from a few about the lack of amenities that were on Enchantment. I did read one posting that indicated they had a good cruise recently on Majesty. Just hoping the life boats are not what you see when you look out the window. thanks to anyone who can provide this info:) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The lifeboats are just below the windows for most of the staterooms, so you can see straight out, byut not down to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venicia Posted June 4, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted June 4, 2016 THANK YOU so very, very much for this quick response. We will be having dinner with some of the folks this evening and I can pass this on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2016 In the diagram below, the dots show the least obstructed balconies on deck 8. These are the openings between the lifeboats. Even though the stateroom numbers may be different on deck 9, you might be able to use this a guide to pick a minimally obstructed stateroom location.

Since Majesty has swapped locations with Enchantment that's great information. I copied it out as an image to my CPU for future use. :D Thanks so much.

Looking out the window, below is the top of the lifeboats but looking straight out is just fine. For us it happens to be on the same deck as the gym and easy walking up and down to other things that we take advantage of in the evening. It is considered the SOV, Superior Oceanview cabin classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileymouse Posted June 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I just booked one of these obstructed view cabins not 5 minutes ago. I figure it'll be fine, we'll be out and about most of the time. I wish I'd seen that graphic before I booked, but no harm, I am happy I'm up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspercat Posted June 4, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) As Bob (clarea) mentioned -- the obstruction is the lifeboat or it's hanging frame, preventing you from seeing straight down. I had cabin 9048 and wasn't bothered by it at all. Some are totally blocked and some have this and some are in between the lifeboats so you get the more 'open' view. Pic of cabin Pic of the lifeboat obstruction (sitting on the window ledge) Enjoy your cruise! Edited June 4, 2016 by jaspercat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silentbob007 Posted June 5, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The deck 9 cabins are my favorite non-suite cabins. The extra space is very nice, especially given the small standard cabins on Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted May 26, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Is there possibly a diagram for Deck 9? Thanks. Haven't seen one, but you should be able to use one of those websites that let you paste one deck on top of another and get the info by looking at the deck 8 diagram.

Jetway4 Posted May 26, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just returned from the Majesty of the Seas and was on Deck 9. Looking out from the cabin window the lifeboats are barely visible. I was in several of the cabins and little difference from one to another. I will say do not even consider any other deck outside of Deck 10 suites. Cabins on 9 are similar size to the average cabin on one of the newer ships just without the balcony. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Biatch Posted May 26, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thank you for asking about these cabins, Venicia. I asked on the cabin thread several days ago with only a couple of responses that said to go for it. So I did! Enjoy! I booked portside. Is there a preference between starboard and portside?
