Gaijin_Mom Posted November 24, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I've only been lucky enough to have been on one cruise, which was on Sovereign this past August. We really wanted a balcony, so of course had to get the jr. suite. I know that those cabins are listed as 173 sq feet. We're hoping to cruise on Freedom in the summer of '10. I'm guessing we won't be able to afford the jr.suite in the summer months :(, so am trying to get an idea of how the balcony rooms compare to the JS on SOS. I know they're listed as 214 sq feet, which is obviously bigger, but in all the pictures I see, they look sooo much narrower than the JS we were in. In the JS the vanity was at the end of the bed, still with plenty of room to walk through. The Freedom rooms look so much narrower, with then end of the bed very close to the wall. Is the extra space all in the length of the room? The pictures just look like the rooms are smaller than SOS JS, not bigger! :confused: Those of you who have stayed in both types of rooms, can you tell me how they compare? Thanks so much for the help! Lynnette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin_Mom Posted November 24, 2008 Author #2 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Anyone experienced with both these room types? Thanks!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ2sail Posted November 24, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Haven't been on freedom yet, but from the pictures, see below. The Freedom Balcony cabin looks bigger to me than the Sovereign Junior suites. Freedom Balcony Monarch Junior Suite Freedom is narrower and longer, but still room to walk passed the bed. The Sovereign JS's are more square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin_Mom Posted November 24, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for posting those side by side. I guess it was the width that made it feel bigger to me. Thanks for the help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted November 24, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2008 They are wider to allow for the tub. I like the cabins with the beds closer to the sliders. It's fun to lie in bed in the mornings and look out to sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
