Help anthem cabins

[brabrant10]

Anthem cruisers -anyone cruised in either cabin -9560 or 9658---curious as to what the large space is in front of cabin 9658-service rooms?

9560 is this very close to elevators

Any reviews -pros/cons -will be appreciated

The large white space across from 9658 is the engine uptake that leads to the smoke stack. I found this a while back while researching the Deck 6/7 Studio Balcony cabins that will help explain:

 

"As you already know, the major thing that made Quantum / Anthem public rooms look classy is the divided engine uptake. It is still wide on deck 6 and deck 7. Therefore less space is left for passenger cabins near engine uptakes. So studio balcony cabins are merely a byproduct of the ships planning - a limited area near engine uptakes on decks 6 and 7. Engine uptakes merge (become narrower) before they reach deck 8. Therefore cabins on deck 8 and up are regular size."

 

The engine uptake continues all the way up to Deck 14/15.

 

Here are the deck plans if you want to check them out:

Thank you dmwnc1959 -for answering my question -now if you indulge me one more question -hope it doesnt sound silly -if this space is where the engine uptake areas are at -is that section of the corridor excessively warm--any noise

I've not been on this ship yet (booked for next September), but I have stayed in amidship cabins across from the engine uptake path on several other ships, and it's never been an issue with noise or temperature variances. I can't imagine Anthem of the Seas - being one of the most technologically advanced cruise ships in the world - would give me concern if I was staying in 9658. I am booked in 7648 (also across from the engine uptake) and I am not worried.
