Aurora D189 D191 new obstructed cabins

[mike x ftc]

Just come back from a short cruise on Aurora and thought I would just give some info on the new cabins - someone sometime may find it useful!! 

 

The cabins are quite spacious with 2 windows but they have been quite unimaginatively done. There was one comfy chair by a coffee table but there was plenty of space for a sofa or 2 nice chairs, its just dead space.  The bathroom is standard but obviously new.  D189 could not be used for a wheelchair user as there are two steps down in the corridor to the door.  The deck plan doesn't show it but there is a door that blocks the Glass house and it is marked as 'No Entry Staff Only' from the Glass house side so no one walks past the cabins which is good.

There is absolutely no view from the windows at all, they let in very little daylight as there is a very large overhand and you can't see anything around the lifeboat as it almost completely blocks the view - a tiny view of a slither of the prom deck and a teeny bit of sea!  We have had obstructed cabins before and liked them but this was the darkest and most obstructed we have had.

It was absolutely fine for a short break, it was nice to have a feeling of space and nice to have a brand new bathroom.  Both cabins also suffered with some noise from a staff service area above and we could hear quite a lot of noise from Carmen's on one night but this stopped at midnight.

This isn't a moan about the cabins just sharing my experience.

Thanks for your review.We had considered one of these new cabins but one of the staff on Aurora had told us that the view was non existant so we have opted for a large inside cabin which is a lot cheaper!

Absolutely the right decision, it is basically an inside cabin - just more expensive!!
