Maksim Posted March 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Appreciate any comments on JS 8044 on Legend. Our cruise is still pretty far away, but I read that there is some noise from above. Also, someone else said that there is a window washer platform that blocks the view. Any other observations are welcome. We never had JS before, only balcony. Very excited and want it to be special.

DianeandMark Posted March 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We had 8544 which is opposite yours. We heard occasional scraping of chairs above during the day, but usually only when on the balcony. There is a window washer above but it never bothered us. We have booked 8042 and leave next Sunday. I'm sure it'll be fine [emoji2][emoji2] Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicalley Posted March 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We had JS 8044 on Legend for our Panama Canal Cruise last year. The window cleaning gantry was visible just above our balcony but was not obtrusive at all. It's a lovely spot- near the centrum, but noise was not an issue at all- on party nights they closed the doors at the start of the corridor. Don't remember hearing any noise from above :) Here's a photo of the ship. 8044 is the balcony cabin just below the gantry. http://s16.postimg.org/pxqa2kq1h/IMG_5228.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had JS 8040 on a transatlantic a couple of years ago. Noise was not too bad, just some early morning carts rolling back and forth to Park Cafe.

Maksim Posted March 29, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thank you all so much. We still have plenty of time until our cruise, so I have a chance to change to a different JS. Is it worth doing? Can anyone tell? If so, where to? Helen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell? If so, where to?Helen. I want to correct my earlier post about JS 8040, I was getting mixed up with another cruise. JS 8040 is right under the Diamond Lounge. There was some noise (moving chairs) during the nightly cocktail hour, but no rolling carts, and no noise at all after 9pm. I'd be happy to have that stateroom again.

DianeandMark Posted March 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think it's a great location, I'd only move to 8042 or 8040 at most. It's a good midship position and the platform is really not an issue. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamia65 Posted March 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) A related question re legend of the seas - do the balcony dividers open? If yes do they open on all decks? Edited March 30, 2016 by Miamia65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaflamingo Posted March 30, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just to add to the conversation, we also had 8044. We did hear the cart used to collect dirty dishes from above in the morning. Not a big enough deal to worry about, but just know when you hear a clumping noise, that's what it is. But we loved the location. We are D+ so we had use of Concierge lounge which was right up the stairs on the other side of the deck. Great location for us. Also love JS's, but on Legend no walk in closet. But still a great room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted March 30, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) It was far enough from the Centrum that noise wasn't a problem. I second the problem w/ the cleaning gantry. It blocked some of the view and also marred a few of my photos. We cruised in April-May 2014. Edited March 30, 2016 by knittinggirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maksim Posted April 1, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thank you all for great feedback. Some of you didn't have an issue with the platform and some did. So, the question for those that thought it blocks the view: if you were to do it again, would you pick a different cabin and if so, what would you recommend? I still have plenty of time before the cruise and most likely can change it. Helen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamia65 Posted April 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Balcony dividers do not open on Legend. Sorry to check this again, I have been looking at images of LOS on the internet and watching youtube videos. There are many pictures that show the balcony dividers open on decks 6 (after the 2013 refurb the balconies were added) and deck 7. Can anyone confirm that they actually open, particularly on deck 6? From the pictures, the ship had the balconies on this deck added and it kind of sticks out in you compare old and new images of the ship. It also shows that there are no hard metal dividers on deck 6.

Miamia65 Posted April 3, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 3, 2016 just bumping this up re my previous post.... does anyone have any experience with balcony dividers on deck 6 on legend of the seas since the new balconies were added in 2013 dry dock?
