Wall bump outs

[florafun]

Some of the DV4 and DV5 rooms have a wall bump out at the foot of the bed and some don't. See the difference in these two pictures. Is there any way to know ahead of time what rooms do NOT have the bump out? If the bump out is there, my husband can't get past the bed without folding up his walker.

It’s a structural member. It is a ship so there are certain oddities.🍹

Are you sure he can get past it even without the bump out in a DV. It’s a pretty tight fit.

Had the "bump" in DV3046 but not in DV3038.   Next cabin DV3041 ???

As Jim posted, it is required for the structure. If it wasn't there, you may get unexpected visitors from above.😁

3043 Did not have it.

I don't know if someone has a list with this info. We have seen a list for fore and aft bed orientations and which PV's have sliders vs doors but not for the bump outs.  First time we had the bump out was 4039.  It wasn't a big deal for us as we are thin people.  I could see it would be an annoying issue for a walker.  We have also been in 4030 and 4111 which do not have it.  Next cruise is 3046 and looks like we have it.  I would think Viking could tell you.

Would it not impact the stated sq. ft.?

I doubt they would note that. All the DV's are listed as the same SF. As it's likely a difference of only about 2 SF it's kind of in the noise.

Haha, everything stated in a cruise ship brochure or website is like an Italian stop sign.  Is merely a suggestion....

A possible issue in all of the DV cabins, I would think.

How about dv2 cabins on deck 5?

Some will have them.  Not sure which but they do not stick out into the cabin very much.  I understand about wheelchair clearance but in two world cruises with the structural members we didn't notice them until this thread.

[duquephart]

There's not much room between the wall and the foot of the bed to begin with.

Right.  Makes losing a few pounds before the cruise look good...🍸

That would be a very bruising experience for me even without a walker.

I kept hitting my toes on it.

I think the square footage should be indicated cabin by cabin in a spreadsheet, and engineering drawings of the ship should be attached.

[Peregrina651]

It's not about the loss of square footage in the room; it is well less than a one percent difference, too small a number to lose sleep over.

 

The issue is the ill-placed obstruction in the middle of the only way to get from one end of the cabin to the other. I worry about stubbing my toe on the damned thing in the middle of the night -- plus the awkward dance every time traverse the cabin.

Now I would love to see a video of that awkward traverse dance, especially when wearing your jammies!

Ha, I always get the side of the bed closest to the bathroom.  I think the only challenge we had with the bump out is getting a suitcase under the bed on that side.

Whoever is compiling the list, you can add 5039!

The horror!  Sorry you are putting up with such. 😱
