Booking Dream 1 year out-- only 3 cabin choices?

[spleenstomper]

Hi, Peeps! I usually don't book a cruise around a year out so I was kinda surprised to find out there are only 3 ocean suites available and all are forward!

 

Do you think they only showed me what is available for my VFIP or for the sale that is going on? Or do you think there are really only 3 ocean suites left?

 

Curious, thanks.

I did a mock booking and those are the only choices showing. Well, I'm glad I booked last night.

I think it was a glitch in their system or a error in your search.

 

I show more than 3 OS on all dates in April 2017 on the Dream.

What occupancy?

 

When I select 2 people I see many available mid-deck 7. When I change it to 4 people I only see 1 available mid-deck 7.

 

Looking at the front of deck 7, I seen only 2 cabins available at occupancy 4 but many at occupancy 2.

Yes it depends on your occupancy. Looking at the Magic 14 months out. 2 ocean suites for 4 people. For 2 people, there are 19 available.

We're on Dream in January 2017 and the suites have been sold out for a couple of months.

[spleenstomper]

ok, yes, my occupancy is 4

Yes, that one mid deck is in (I think) the worst location-- is it the one by the elevator banks right where you will hear all the noise?

I've never been on this ship or in a suit so you can ignore this if you want....but my in laws stayed right near elevators in a balcony room on their last cruise (with a guaranteed balcony room) and liked it so much they specifically asked to book that room this go around. They liked being right at the elevators and never had a problem with noise.

[spleenstomper]

Oh, well, that's interestng feedback. I never really thought of convenience.

 

I booked a different cabin though. I'll keep it in mind for next time. Thanks.

I agree with this. We stayed in a cove balcony on the Dream that was right next to the atrium elevators and stairs. It was never noisy. But it was oh so convenient. I would book a room near elevators again in a heartbeat.

Thanks to those who checked the inventory for me.

 

Darn, now I'm wondering if I should switch cabins (can I do that?). I'm at least going to go look at it on the deck map again.

I promise you will NOT hear the elevators. They are designed to not disturb the rooms nearby. It is nothing like an elevator at a hotel that may be right outside your room door. The elevators are always around a corner from any rooms and in their own kind of lobby area. We always book close to an elevator if possible.

I'll 4th or 5th the rooms near an elevator. We were in a premium balcony on the Pride which backed up to the elevators and never heard a peep. I supposed the worst thing would be if you got a very rowdy, obnoxious group waiting for the elevator, but you can get a group of obnoxious people in the middle of long hallways too.
