ehogan Posted December 13, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Has anyone an opinion on Category 5A on the Pride? These are outside cabins with an obstructed view with french doors. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruise777l Posted December 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2007 We had a 5A on the Spirit which is the same layout as the Pride. We booked an inside room and were upgraded to the 5A. The doors did open to a railing that stares into the lifeboats. If you are lucky enough to get a cabin in between the lifeboats you will have a tiny view. A great deal if you are paying for an inside room and getting upgraded! We have the same type of room booked for our Mar cruise on the Pride. Do a search for the 5a's cabins. There are pictures of these 5a cabins out there on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted December 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Cat 5a with French doors are the cabins we usually get upgraded too, had 2 cabins on the Pride, 4140 and 4146, these have a Lifeboat right outside of them and thats why they are obstructed cabins. Great Cabin with lots of daylight but no views. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted December 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Fred, Iv read you can open the windows somewhat for fresh air, then read that they didnt let you open them. Can you or not now? Or was that a one time thing where they could not be opened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie T Posted December 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2007 We had 5a on the Spirit in Nov. , doors opened. No view, but cool anyway. My DD got lucky with a little view in between. Be careful coming out of the shower if the drapes are open, sometimes the workers are all over the lifeboats like bees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boaterette Posted December 14, 2007 #9 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I had a 5a on the Pride this past Oct. Great room. I could open one side of the double door. It was nice to get fresh air. The room was an upgrade from a 1a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehogan Posted December 18, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted December 18, 2007 LHP: Thanks for the pics - gives us a good idea of the cabin. For an extra $40 I think it will be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted December 18, 2007 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2007 We had cabin 4194 (I think???) and it was really neat. We could see a little between the boats and to the side. Just remember to keep the curtains closed when privacy is needed because the maintenance crew does walk around those catwalks!!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
