miraclemichael Posted January 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi, I'm new to cruising and will be joining the Arcadia for the above cruise. We are in stateroom E172 and was wondering if anyone knows what the blank space on the deck plan is next to it.:confused: Would look forward to corresponding with anyone who is on the same cruise.

feebee_71 Posted January 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Miraclemichael, Hi, I am not on this cruise with you I am afraid but might have the answer to your question about the blank space next to your cabin on Arcadia. On all decks there are housekeeping cubby holes where cleaning trolleys are stored along with things like spare linen and sinks for disposing of water from mop buckets and clearing up room service trays. There also has to be somewhere for cabin stewards to collect ice from on each deck. The other possibility is that the space is given over to a crew stairwell (unlikely as the space is not replicated on the decks above or below). Finally, there could be some generator equipment or similar tucked away in that area. Obviously this is all speculation on my part, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Janey Posted January 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The area next door to E172 is a fridge area for the crew to keep supplies in. The good news is they obviously don't need the balcony so you get half of it, shared with the cabin on the other side of the fridge area (obviously with a dividing wall), ie another 4 feet wider. So you have done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted January 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just before someone corrects me, I should have said your balcony is another 8 feet wider. The fridge is the size of 2 cabins so you get another whole balcony each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miraclemichael Posted January 9, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks Janey for the info, but do you know if the fridge is noisey. If it is running 24/7 it might be a problem. Any info will be much appreciated Thanks again Mike.. :) The area next door to E172 is a fridge area for the crew to keep supplies in.

Janey Posted January 10, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have read reports from people in this cabin and they loved it but have no first hand experience but I would say that no it isn't noisey, or any more noisey than other cabins with noisey neighbours etc. We embark Arcadia the day you get, off, 05 July, so hope all goes well and you get to Southampton on time!
