Avril Posted February 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think I see our room!! :D LOL, maybe you can (depending on where your cabin is)!! :D I know I can't see ours here, we have an aft facing balcony on Deck 6. Doesn't look like they've built it yet (hopefully soon, I'd love to see actual pics rather than artist renderings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually further along than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember the renderings showing anything like a slider. I have bard time looking at the pic and making anything out. I would love to see a time lapse of the build process.

Avril Posted February 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2015 We have a cove balcony on the starboard side. It's actually further along than I thought. Cove balconies are awesome, you'll love it. I've had one twice, once on the Dream and once on the Breeze. I'm not sure which side of the ship this pic is. Kinda hard to tell when I can't see the bow and/or stern to use as a reference point. It better be getting pretty far along, they're scheduled to have her Float Out Ceremony in June!! I love pics like this, she's actually starting to look like a ship. :D That would be great if Carnival changed the doors to sliders like Princess has :) ! Sliding doors would be AWESOME!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vision of them on a princess ship is how small the balcony is (or at the very least appears to be). Don't really have an opinion other than it might get rid of the slamming balcony doors as people go out on their balcony early when arriving at a port.

Yes, the new builds from Princess does have the balconies smaller except balconies under the Sea Walk that is located on the Lido Deck from there on down to Deck #8. However the old builds from Princess had ample space from my perspective, other Princess cruisers may disagree. I think the new builds from Princess is a new design wherein Carnival Vista is based on I think the Breeze, correct me if I am wrong. The balcony door sliding open instead of opening outward should not take up any more than maybe a few inches plus would get rid of the slamming door that we have experienced. I know a few inches is valuable on a balcony but depends if they would plan to take that space away from the balcony or inside the cabin. Going from the picture showed earlier, it does look like the opening may be wider. Time will tell...............

So i wonder if this will include new builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that the Sunshine had those. Sounds like a step in the right direction & hope the Vista will have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgetjonesni Posted February 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's weird, if you look at the gallery photos for each type of cabin on Carnival's Vista webpage, all of the cabin types seem to have a single door except for the Havana cabins, which have a sliding door. But yet if you watch from around 1m 15s of the 'Carnival Vista Meet Our New Ship' video more of the room types seem to have sliding doors. It could also depend on the deck or category I guess. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, during the video, looks like all cabins have the sliders if I looked at it correctly. IMO, I think sliders would be much better than the swing open style. Either way, its all good :) !

islandatsea Posted March 7, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for posting that video :) . Wonder if Carnival will take some real pictures of the Vista after she is finished being built & post them online before the voyages begin ?

With past ships John heals did you tubes from them during final build cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
