What is Carnival's Ultimate Balcony Cabin?

[Cuizer2]

Has anyone stayed anywhere near rm 9258?? We are on the Freedom in June!!!! Just looking for insight!

How close do you want? I was within 1000 feet. I was in 8714 in June 2007.

I would immagine then that they would have the same layout right?

Oops - I did it again. I was on the Freedom of the Seas, not the Carnival Freedom. My mistake. :o

Sorry, I forgot which forum I was in. I was on the Freedom of the Seas in the Caribbean, not the Carnival Freedom in the Med. :o

The cabin was awesome, even though we had a smut problem (no I left my porno at home). For some reason two days in a row the balcony was covered in oily soot. At first we had a problem getting it cleaned, but once we went to the pursers desk it was cleaned. Then the last two days not smut at all. I guess the engines were going through something.

That's so funny. Our entire familiy group had gathered for sail-away on my sister's balcony and I had gotten some black sooty stains on my shorts. I assumed there were smokers above us flicking their ashes, so I yelled up at them. Only to find out later the soot was coming from the smoke stack, not the smokers. Oops!

 

Of course it seemed that out of everyone in our group, the soot only found me. :o

Tom-n-Cheryl I booked your "ultimate" cabin for 09' just based on your photo. I love just sitting/sleeping on deck and to be able to do that right outside my cabin comfortably is going to be incredible. Thanks for the great information and photo. Since we are a family of four I booked an inside cabin literally right next door too.

You guys will love it! What ship and sail date did you pick?

 

Getting a few things together here right now, as we have a date with a ship TODAY!!

This is 7440, but it is from the Glory ...

 

 

 

thanks for this pic and I hope it is the same as the Freedom..I was on the Glory last month and actually just before we got off we ran down to look at this cabin after the weeks tenants had left!!! Got home and booked that cabin for our Freedom sailing...

[lynyrd]

HANDS DOWN: 4228 or 4237 - they are (port and starboard) category 11's on Spirit class ships.

 

 

The cabin is very nice as well :)

I was able to get 4237 on the Legend for S & S 5. I can hardly wait. :D

You'll LOVE it!!

 

After our return yesterday (Glory - corner cabin 6452) it made me appreciate EVEN MORE those Spirit class deck 4 corners. I would say that 80-90% of the day there was beaming sun on our balcony thanks to the much smaller overhang (above). That may be great for sun worshipers - but if you want to just sit out there and enjoy the scenery/sounds then that sun is a little much.

Does anyone have photos of cabin #7440 or 7445 on the Freedom? We would really like to have the aft wrap balcony on our Med cruise next year, but was wondering about the layout and if it seemed small or overcrowded with the furniture?

Wow, Tom. Your cruise went really fast. Seems like just yesterday you said you were gettin' ready to get on the boat. Did you have a good time? You want to share a picture of that balcony??

[pjjek05]

We have cruised on the Conquest, Pride & Glory. Always book a balcony, preferably on the Lido deck close to mid elevators. We have been in room 9269 on Conquest & Glory. Love being close to elevators (convenience!) and love being on the Lido (convenience!) . Never hear elevator noise, etc. Had to book a deck below Lido on the Pride because there were no staterooms on Lido on that ship...heard a little noise being below eating areas, etc.

We are really looking forward to being in Legend's 4228 next Sunday (at about this time) :D . [6260 on the Pride wasn't so bad either ;) ]

[Julie Koefoot]

Does anyone have some nice photos of the Conquest? I am booked for 9/20/09- it's a girls trip. So far there is four of us, ideally [sp] we would like 3 to a cabin. If the balcony could be covered that would be great.If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 

Thanks Julie

Does anyone have pics of those funky aft L-shaped cabins? (Victory has some). The balconies look big but the cabins might not be the best....

 

 

Here's some from the Victory cabin 6432:

Does anyone have any info and or pictures on Cabin #7298 on the Pride out of Long Beach.

We have this cabin booked for the mexican riv. in October of this year.

I know it's a cat.#11 but that is all i know.

Thank you very much in advance.

Check the pics in my signature, we were in 7347, which is the opposite corner from 7298 on the Pride.

[cathyz]

Where is this?????

 

I think it's the Norwegian Star.

Has anyone been on Spirit lately and know if they have changed those plastic chairs on the balcony to the newest and best? I have seen your pictures of the Glory and other spirit-class ships but not any latest ones of the Spirit.:) I will be on the Spirit for Hawaii in Sept. and was just wondering.
