Pearl SF suites

[hbe]

]I have a choice of 10666 or 10664, looking for recommendations for which one I should book. Any help would be appreciated

[reefgirl]

I was in 10666 a few years ago and we will be in 10664 in July. I struggled initially with which suite to choose, but then I tend to overthink things. They are amazing suites and you can't go wrong with either. I'm sure someone here can chime in about how one is 1.84 sq larger than the other, but any difference is certainly minimal. Enjoy your cruise!

I'd take 10664, because it is a corner cabin, so you only have someone on one side. I've cruise in in 10164 a few times and it was great...the balcony is amazing.

We've stayed in both on other Jewel class ships. The balcony on the corner suite might be a teensy bit smaller, but the trade off is you only have one set of neighbors.

 

Enjoy whatever you choose!

We have stayed in 10664 on the Pearl, and the same corner on the Gem (can't remember if the room # was the same). We absolutely loved it. Corners are the best on aft facing suites.

Thanks every one, we booked 10664.

[roger001]

I agree with 10664 only because it's the corner SF. No neighbor on one side and a slightly better view around the side.

Have sailed in 10166 6 or 7 times....you cannot go wrong with either one! Aside from being in the Haven, this is our favorite suite on any ship!

We are in 10164 in 2 months. So don't you guys mess it up or break anything!!! We've been in 10664 before. They are both a really nice choice of SFs.

Here's a video of the cabin on the Jewel... same dif.

I apologize i don't have better pictures, this is the Aft, Port, Corner SF suite on the Gem. They are identical on the Pearl, aside from some decorative differences. Sorry, no balcony pic either. You can view the whole album here.

Just flagging for those who may not be aware that the balconies of the SF suites on Deck 10 are larger (deeper) than they are on Deck 9. If you have a choice between the two decks, I'd opt for Deck 10.

We'll be on the Pearl in 10164 the end of March here's a youtube video looks like from 2006. There should be some updates with the upcoming refurbishment.

We are in this one on the Jewell in 27 days!! I know, the counter shows 26 days, but that is from midnight. lol..:p

Maybe I'm the only person who doesn't know this, but what is SF? The only thing I could think of was Sugar Free and I doubt that is it. somehow. ;)

SF is the cabin classification (in this case, the rear-facing penthouse suites in the stern). SE is the classification for forward-facing penthouse suites in the bow. BB is one of several categories of balcony cabins, and the list goes on.

After reading all the comments/ recommendations here I have requested a change from 9170 to 10164...We enjoyed 9170 but if 10164 has a bigger balcony, we're game to make the switch...Appreciate the comments, thanks to you all...

Here's the rear of the Pearl. Deck 10 and below are the SF cabins, just the outer two on each side of those decks. Are the middle cabins balcony rooms? Deck 11 is minis.

Thanks for the clarification, Turtles06.

 

Is Deck 11 the top row of balconies? Ours is the far left one - looks big and covered, how great! We'll be able to use it even if it is raining!

Deck 11 is the top row of balconies you see. The Great Outdoors is just above it. The deck 11 rooms are mini suites with the two larger ones on the left being disabled category minis. The SFs begin on deck 10. And deck 8 through 10, the SFs are two each side on those decks with two standard balcony rooms between.
