Majestic Princess Blocked Off COVID Cabins - E Deck (deck 8)

[danir]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know if E Deck (deck 😎 is where the blocked cabins are for COVID cases? If so, does anyone know if it is the whole deck or certain sections/cabin numbers and which ones?

 

Thank you

We were on E deck on cruise in Nov. Blocked off was Dolphin port side.

on our cruise in January, the whole Dolphin was closed off.  but it may also be because, of the sparsity of the ship, they just didn't want anyone there.  I heard of people who originally booked there, that got 'upgraded' to a higher deck.

On the cruise ended 2/12/2022 only Deck 9 was quarantined (whole deck).

It's deck 9 now on Majestic. Keeping deck 8 open allows them to sell the obstructed balconies for a discount and have people angry because they get to stare at a lifeboat.

Best hidden value: E407-E429. Not obstructed looking out but will see outdoor open deck below. E425 had an expanded balcony due to curve.

Why do people get upset? Those discounted cabins are clearly marketed as obstructed balconies.

@sfaaaand @rj59Many are obstructed when looking out. Midships are obstructed when looking down but have an expanded balcony.  I guess it all depends on the definition of "obstructed." My personal room of choice is whichever is over the restaurant that closes at 9. E421 or E425 on 3 Royal Class ships

I'm booked on Dolphin deck 9 D411 deluxe balcony. But all deck 8 cabins were unavailable. So deck 8 most  be blocked off, I guess. Hope they did good job sanitizing deck 9.

I booked corner suite D726 on the Royal Princess Southbound for Alaska in May.

I received a cabin change from Princess, that put us in E729.

Tried and tried to get our reserved room back, but no way.

we had a deluxe balcony booked on Dolphin, on the Sky last October. Princess upgraded us with out telling us to a Mini suite on Emerald. I only spotted it 3 days before we sailed. Loved the upgrade but would have liked to have been told.......

We went to see if anyone was in our original cabin but like others have said most of that deck was closed off.

You got upgraded to a much larger room, although the deck is slightly narrower, FWIW.. deck 9 Dolphin is quarantine deck on Royal class ships..

Same for us exactly. I am really worried about the noise from the Vista Lounge late at night and the smaller balcony with very little overhang. Does anyone have any insight on those concerns?

Sorry folks on Dolphin, but I hope it stays that way so we aren't moved off Emerald to somewhere else.

There will be little noise from Vista, your cabin is over the backstage area,not the stage or lounge area - and there's little there past 11, maybe 12 at night...

IME - none of those aft corner suites in Royal class ships have a whole lot of overhang at all, given the tiered nature of the aft setup..shade is in relatively short supply overall... The balcony in Emerald is decent sized - wider than Caribe, that's for sure! Lol.

A walkthrough showing what to expect - it's a much more spacious cabin, I'd be sincerely stoked with that upgrade...

Both of those cabins are s3 which I’ m sure you already know. Did you have your reservation marked no upgrade/ no move,etc? Not an upgrade- your cabin move by Princess. Frustrating that they changed you.

Yes, ours was marked no upgrade. Due to isolation cabins being set aside on the Dolphin deck, health protocols trump no upgrade.

Of course health protocol. Wow a crew person or passenger possibly “gets” to isolate in a suite- in your original cabin on dolphin?  Sorry that happened to you.

Thank you reedprincess, that is valuable information.
