7A on Carnival Pride

[Theodorable]

Hi everyone

 

We have just booked a category 7A on the Pride for the January 2, 2005 sailing and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with booking the same cabin category. One website I was on it said that the balconies were fully obstructed. I live in Vancouver and I am lucky enough to work very close to the cruiseship terminal and the Carnival Spirit was in the other day which I understand is a sister ship to the Pride. I went to look at the ship and from what I could see, the 7A's looked over the top of the lifeboats, they didn't seem fully obstructed to me!

 

Thanks for the info.

Sorry but I'm ship illiterate..is the Pride a Spirit Class ship??

If it is, we had 7A's on the Miracle...4 of them. Out of the 4 cabins only one had the balcony pretty much totally obstructed, the rest of us had a decent view. It depends on where your cabin sits...directly in front of a lifeboat or in between two lifeboats. All in all I'd say it's a nice cabin and I think you'll be happy with it!!

Follow my link below to my webshots gallery. There you can find my pics from my Spirit cruise where I had a cat 7a cabin, and my pics from my Pride cruise where I had a cat 8H cabin.

I would book the 7a again without hesitation.

Thanks for much for the pictures. You have made me feel much better. There isn't nearly as much obstruction as I thought from the website I saw. This is wonderful and such good value.

 

Thanks again.

I remember what it was like before we went on our cruise, not knowing what the obstruction would be. That's why I took the pics. :)

Hi Nicole. Fellow Vancouverite here.

 

I was on the Spirit in February. I have some photos of the balcony. I also have video of the room and balcony. These are of cabin 5245.

We're considering booking a Carnival cruise in the 7A category. Thanks everyone for the info! Don't know what we'd do without info on these boards.

You wouldn't happen to remember those Category 7a's cabin numbers would you of the ones that were good or between life boats on Miracle?
