Sideways vs regular OV room

[nunuc2000]

Given the choice, would you select 6039 sideways OV, or 4039 regular shaped OV on Pacific Princess? Haven't had a sideways room before, and trying to decide if that's better than a regular shaped one.

Though I've not stayed in either room on Pacific, I'll offer an opinion based on other ships.  We really liked the sideways rooms we've stayed in, they felt larger somehow with the open space just inside the door, the closet and bath on one end the bed on the other.  Just felt larger than the square footage suggests.  All else being equal, we'd take "sideways" again any time.

The sideways deck 6 rooms all have SIGNIFICANT view obstructions and are smaller with no sitting area (loveseat).  The deck 4 rooms all have a large picture window with no obstructions and a sitting area (loveseat). If price the same I’d take deck 4.

Pacific was not built for Princess and the cabin layouts are TOTALLY different from any other ship in the fleet.

The cabins on deck 6 are a lot smaller than ones on deck 4.  When we were in one of the cabins on deck 6, the twin beds were placed head to foot along one wall.  The second time we were in an OV on the Pacific we were on deck 3 and surprised at how large the cabin was.   I think that there was even a  small loveseat in the deck 3 cabin.  We would choose deck 4 or 3 over deck 6 OVs.
