9729 Sofa was a sleeper.

 

We did not have to lean over the rail. I did however sit on the arm of a chair to get that view. Not as nice as sitting in a chair, but definitely a good and different view.

 

For us we enjoyed the view. People have personal preferences for many reasons which is ok, too.

Perfect.  I had my TA switch us from 11729 to 9729.  Thanks much!!

We were in 10327 which was next to that cabin ( across on the other side and one down) in Sept. ( so pre slides). We watched the shows and movies.  Great view! I’m not sure how the slides will change the dynamics.  We also had a great view of the ocean.

Thankfully (in my opinion) the slides have been put on hold...

Thanks everyone.  Normally we do ocean views but decided, as some have said, to switch for novelty purposes!!

We have been in 9729 on Allure and Oasis, as well as 9329 on Allure.  Great views to watch the Aqua shows!

 

 

Oh perfect thanks for the pics...so was the sofa a sleeper in 9729???

We had 8330 and though that was wonderful. You could see the water and the scuba divers and a great view of the divers also. I would not go to 11729, think it would be too high.

That was where I was leaning..

IF, the slides are put in both cabins would lose most of the view. 

I was just checking RCCLS blog and it states the amp plan has been cancelled.  Whew I will have a nice view.  🙂

I would not get either of the rooms just because of the location.

 

You want to walk all the way up & down that hallway constantly?

 

Get something closer to the stairs.

 

And sit in the seats like everyone 

Wow!!!

We had 11729 on Allure before the slides went in and the view was great.  You are high enough to get a different perspective of the Aquatheater shows.  Not sure how it looks now.

I was wondering  about that too but have read the amping for Allure was lessened and mainly for the engine and so forth...

As a result of the Covid19 our Alaskan cruise for May 2020 has been cancelled so I am taking our 125% and rebooking to Allure for May 2021.  My question is for viewing the Aqua shows which would be better 11729 or 9729.  Obviously 9729 is lower but not sure if 11729 would be better overall.  Any first hand knowledge would be greatly appreciated...thanks!!

Jany from RIL is great!  She replies promptly and is very helpful!!

I used previous RIL recommendations from Cruise Critic and can't be happier. I began conversing with Jany a year earlier than our trip and am extremely pleased with all of the prompt and timely help Jany provided. Any time I had a question (and I had many as this was our first time to Europe), Jany was so wonderful with help and responses.

We did two days with RIL before our cruises and cannot say enough wonderful things about them. We were so lucky to have Enrico for both days. As mentioned by others, he took us to others spots not typically seen by people like the Orange Grove and the Hidden Keyhole!!

He arranged an authentic Italian lunch stop for us which was amazing.

We also opted for the private your guides, which I am so glad we did!! Our first day was in Rome and our second day was supposed to include Sorrento and Pompeii. We decided against Sorrento which as we found out through Enrico it was a good choice as the highway was backed up and we would have never made it in time to see Pompeii!!

RIL truly was wonderful in ensuring we saw all of the highlights of our locations and little extras. I consider Enrico to be more than a driver as he also provided us with a well of knowledge about Italy!!

Highly recommend Rome In Limo!!

Just a heads up...depending on which sailing you have selected for Vision of the Seas, you may be disappointed. I was booked in a grand suite on the 6/7/18 sailing but do an issue on another sailing my TA found out this sailing has been chartered and we will be displaced...SOOOO I spent over an hour on the phone w/my TA and rep from RCCL problem resolution and ended up booking Jewel of the Seas B2B 6/17/18 & 6/24/18.

Tom,

You did a great job!!! Thanks for all of the effort you put in, Deanna :D

P.S. I added your website to my favorites so that I can show other family members that are sailing w/me!!

Also the locals at the sight are a big pain in the butt. They actually get rude when you ignore them or refuse to buy the junk they are selling. The next time we stop in Jamaica I will enjoy my time on the ship while it is empty.

I agree...that part is enough to make me NEVER want to go back to Ocho Rios again!!!

My family of 8 (ranging in age from late 50s to twins of 5) visited the falls in April 2005 and did just fine. Yes, there were some hairy spots, but otherwise it was all good. After dealing w/the salt water in the ocean and on the ship, it was nice that the falls were fresh water. I also agree w/another poster stating that the water was "filthy".

I hope this helps, Deanna
