reserving a casita on symphony

[Minuet888]

So I just reserved a casita on our cruise on symphony in 3 months.  It didn't say if it was an ocean facing view or poolside and It didn't give me the option of choosing.  How do we make sure it is a poolside one?

Ask on board upon embarkation.

All of the casitas are located a floor above the pool /none are poolside. 

They are all facing the center of the ship /not looking towards the ocean.  

 

Here are a couple images ... one shows that the casitas are located on the quiet deck above the pool, and the other's a wider shot showing the whole pool deck ... note the casita locations are circled.  

 

Your specific casita will be assigned "day of".  You'll go to the nearby bar, and the bartender will assign one to you "first come, first served" style.

Thank you for the pics, the description said poolside or ocean view......so they lied?  Is it easy to access the pool area from the deck above where the casitas are?????

[Mum2Mercury]

Well, it seems to me they're stretching the truth. I'm sure they'd have some reasoning about how poolside /ocean view is truthful.  

A staircase connects the pool deck to the deck above; yeah, it's easy access.
