massfriends Posted February 7, 2008 #33 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I refuse to give up this mission...:o I really wish you had asked before Jan. 14th...I would have checked. We had a GS cabin 1038. I checked my pic's and there is something there. I asked a friend who is very familiar with Sovereign and she said that the original plan when the ship was being fitted with balconies was to put them on deck nine. They did that one cabin and decided it wasn't a good idea with the life boat locations and any views from the balconies would be obstructed. They then put them on deck ten and did indeed leave that one in place. Now as to whether it is useable she doesn't know....sorry. Can't wait to hear if it is or isn't....

PH8 Posted February 7, 2008 Author #34 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Wish I heard about it before Jan 14th..:) Wow.thats the most info I have gotten so far........ Really funny,I have been on the SS about 15 times and NEVER heard about this cabin till now.... I wonder why no one has talked about it before......or maybe they have and I missed it..:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercetc4 Posted February 7, 2008 #35 Share Posted February 7, 2008 wont it kinda be sad to find that there is a balcony for this deck 9 cabin only for the sov to be gone from the fleet next fall........................going to be sad anyway but oh well...........there are other ships to try :) we did the sov last sept and had a blast! sorry to see her go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimecruiser100 Posted February 7, 2008 #36 Share Posted February 7, 2008 We are sailing in 5 weeks in SO cat and i guess we will have a great view of the life boats. However, do the same cabins on deck 8 apply on deck 9 as far as no obstructed view is concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will even knock on the door and ask them to let me see the balcony. :p:D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAKaye Posted February 7, 2008 #39 Share Posted February 7, 2008 .....but a cruise ship-related good mystery is almost too wonderful. :p I have been on the Sovereign as well, but so sadly, this mystery area of the ship is in none of my photographs. It probably isn't even visible from down on the pier. It was because of that Discovery Channel program about the refurbishment/drydock of the Sovereign that we booked our first cruise on this ship. I think the story about the trial run for balconies on Deck 9 was never mentioned on that program. And to think--this balcony probably can't be seen well from anywhere except maybe the balconies or pool deck of another big ship tied up in port next to the Sovereign. I hope this thread doesn't get completely buried. I would love to see some photos taken by intrepid Cruise Detectives, revealing this little-known treasure!

I think this cabin is like the Bermuda triangle.......seems anyone who has gone on the SS to check it out for us,has disappeared!!:eek: :eek: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srq2003 Posted February 7, 2008 #43 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Here is an interesting photo... if you look on deck 9 you can clearly see a mini balcony above the center of the third lifeboat... Even if it doesnt open, you will still have a nice large glass door, much nicer than a normal window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAKaye Posted February 8, 2008 #48 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh my goodness, between this and the other thread that you gave the link for, I am SO intrigued. What we can surmise so far, if I have this correctly, is that there are two (if I may) Category E or D balcony staterooms on the Sovereign of the Seas, on Deck 9, that are being marketed as Category OV. Sovereign of the Seas does not list itself as having any Cat Ds or Es, so these are a crazy, unheard of in the industry, bonuses! I feel like an archeologist who has discovered something new among our beloved ships! Aside: Isn't this exactly what Cruise Critic message boards is about---getting into the tiny details and relishing them, and then helping others to enjoy and benefit from the knowlege? Well, I am eagerly awaiting more information and photos from on board~~ Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
