BillfromWV Posted February 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2008 We have an opportunity to book a hump cabin...two hump cabins right in the middle of the hump. Could someone tell me what is so great about them. Are the balconies bigger, is the cabin bigger or is it because of the conveniance. Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac303 Posted February 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2008 All of the above, central location, bigger balcony, better view forward and aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey's Gal Posted February 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The hump cabins are our favorites. You didn't say what ship you are on or what deck. I beleive the cabin sizes can vary from ship/deck. The reason we like the hump cabins so much is because of the location. On the Radiance class, they are in the Centrum area near the elevators. It is such a centrally located area, it is easy to get from place A to B. On the Voyager class, our hump cabin, also near the elevators, also had a view of the Promenade just outside our doors. I do believe the cabins were smaller but still perfectly fine. I would book these in a minute.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrosesdeb Posted February 27, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I would book them just for the LOCATION. There is no guarantee that the cabin or the balcony will be larger than most. SOME of the hump cabins seem a little larger but most of us book them because of their very convenient location. Right near the elevators, and, no you won't hear them and easy to get to anywhere on the ship. We ALWAYS try to book hump cabins or very close to the hump cabins.

The main attraction of the hump staterooms are the convenient location to the mid ship stairs and elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcyjane Posted February 27, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, We had a hump cabin on the RCI Mariner in 2005 and we are going on Mariner again this June and have booked a hump cabin again. I agree with what everyone else said. We just love the location and enjoy the balcony cause you can see all the way forward and back. Try it you'll like it.

montekat Posted February 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Location, location, location! Love the hump cabins and try to book them whenever I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glgolfer Posted February 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Also, on the Voyager class, the hump cabins on deck 9 are only a few feet from the Concierge Lounge if you're D/D+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercetc4 Posted February 27, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2008 we try to get the hump cabins as well- love being on deck 6 on voyager class and being able to pop down one flt of stairs to the royal promenade and then one more to get to casino or schooner bar- easy access to dining rooms, muster drill, customer relations, loyalty ambassador there on deck 6, and more- great place to be imho:D ( anytime you can easily avoid elevator use that is a good thing and a time saver....lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxie_fan19 Posted February 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Would deck 6 on Majesty be considered hump cabins? We have an OV triple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted February 27, 2008 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Would deck 6 on Majesty be considered hump cabins? We have an OV triple. Not all the ships have a hump, Majesty does not. If you want to see what it is go to the RCCL.com website and look at the floor plans for Brilliance and you will see the hump or bump in the middle of the ship and those cabins are the hump cabins.

QTMichele Posted February 27, 2008 #14 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I stayed in a hump cabin on the Mariner and loved the location! I wouldn't hesitate to book a hump cabin for future cruises! :) Since I've been on only one cruise, I have a question for all the seasoned cruisers... In our hump cabin, there was about two feet of space between the curtain and the balcony door. Do non-hump cabins have this gap between the door and the curtain, or is this unique to the hump cabins? This space wasn't being utilized, but I can see how useful it would be to us if we share a cabin with our girls on our next cruise (toys, laundry, etc.). THANKS!

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 27, 2008 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I do think people make way too much out of the hump cabins. All you get is a pie-shaped balcony with slightly more room than the regular side balconies and a good mid-ship location. They're nice, but nothing to make a big deal out of IMO.

knitpurl Posted February 27, 2008 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2008 what about mid hump cabins Deck 9 on the Freedom? ( 9640 -9642)anyone been on these? anything we should know? we have them booked for March 09 but can still change....Thanks:) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our balcony wasn't pie shaped - it was rectangular. I'm not sure if it was bigger than other balconies in the same category. :confused: As much as I loved the location and would book another in a heartbeat, I wouldn't be too disappointed if I had to book a different location. :) After all, being on a cruise is better than being at home! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted February 27, 2008 #18 Share Posted February 27, 2008 We are going on our first cruise with RCI April 27th on the Mariner. After reading all the good info on these boards we booked early and requested and got a center hump cabin #8618. Now I'm just counting the days until we sail!!!!

Rare BillOh Posted February 27, 2008 #22 Share Posted February 27, 2008 better view forward and aft. Sometimes coming in or leaving a port, I like to look both ways. I usually have my binoculars with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkrosesdeb Posted February 27, 2008 #24 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sheila, we were so happy to have our binoculars with us for the Panama Canal! There was a navy sub next to us and it was really interesting to watch all their procedures and the gun boats alongside as they entered the canal. You never know what you might see at sea!
