cjb0717 Posted July 1, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi all, I've been reading these boards for weeks trying to decide which cruise, which cabin, etc. etc. I can say I sure have learned alot here! I just put a hold on cabin 9342 (hump) on Freedom. I guess I'm just looking for assurances from the experts that I did the right thing. Looking forward to a great cruise experience. Thanks, Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammie Posted July 2, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2006 This is an excellent location! Book it! You are center of the "hump" and close to everything. These cabins are very hard to get. When will you be sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinDawn Posted July 2, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Perfect cabin & location. My parents will be in that cabin in September. We were suppose to be next door in 9340 but Royal realized those cabins are for 2 not 4 like originally shown on the deck plans. If there were just two of us I would snap up that cabin in a heartbeat. BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb0717 Posted July 2, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I just put down a deposit on this. This is our first cruise and I am so excited, now I just have to count the days until we go. May 13, 2007 - Western Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted July 2, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2006 We were on 8342 on 6/11 on FOS. Assuming its the one right above us then its a great location. Enjoy--I'm jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdear Posted July 2, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2006 We are in 9642 on Sept 10, which is same room on the other side of ship, so I will take some pictures for you and post them when we return. I had no clue what a hump room was when I booked, and I think I drove the poor guy nuts at RCI and he finally gave me that room so I would quit calling :D I can't wait , I am so excited !

sdear Posted July 3, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 3, 2006 do you have any pics of 8342 ? Thanks, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted July 3, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 3, 2006 do you have any pics of 8342 ? Thanks, Sue No sorry-but it really is just the same as any balcony room. It is true though, they probably could have extended the balcony more into the room to make it bigger--instead there is sort of this dead space between where the bed ends and where the balcony starts. But really, the room is great, the view is great (port side)--there were no obstructions. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38anchor Posted July 4, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks Sue, I've made a note of your email address. I don't suppose I can find pics of 8638 anywhere else, or a similar centre Hump Cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSCOTT Posted July 4, 2006 #14 Share Posted July 4, 2006 What exactly is a hump cabin? We plan to sail RCI in the spring of 2008 and I am already doing some preliminary homework. Our destination is the Mediterranean! If anyone has any additional insight into cabin or ship selection, that would be appreciated as well. We have only sailed RCI once before. Our first cruise was on the Legend of the Seas in 2000 and we are ready to come back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdear Posted July 4, 2006 #15 Share Posted July 4, 2006 is the portion of the ship that bows out. It is suppose to be a prime location. I have never been on RCI yet, but I will find out in Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACE Posted July 4, 2006 #16 Share Posted July 4, 2006 F.Y.I. - 9342 (and 8342) are starboard or right side, 9642 would be port side with views of the roadways, home, hotels, and Miami Beach, when crusing out of the cut and the Port of Miami. We had also booked 9342 for our party of 4 (now 3) and got bumped outta the hump into the last D1 all the way aft, port side on deck 10, and since moved into a JS mid-ship, port side on deck 9, after our T/A did some negoiating with RCI. Speaking of port -vs- starboard, we love the port side views when leaving Miami...question, I believe we dock only in Montego Bay, what would be the better view, port or starboard? Thanks in advance -MACE- (8/27 FOS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdear Posted July 4, 2006 #17 Share Posted July 4, 2006 What do you mean you got bumped? Do they "routinely" do that? I have booked 9642 and it's paid in full...you mean they can still bump my room? :mad: :mad: :mad: Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
