Wow, nice pictures and explainations of some of the other amenities on the aft corner category 11s. We are not in 4228, but are in 7298, another aft corner on Pride this coming October and this information is really valuable to us.

 

Thanks again!

Until Carnival Pride and the Mexican Riviera!

Brian,

 

I am sure you will absolutely love your aft cabin. Being on a higher deck, you should not have to deal with the noise and vibration that we experienced on deck 4. I'd love to hear about your cabin after the cruise.

Kathy-

 

I'll definitely let you know. I do a big review after each cruise.

 

I have been on Royal Caribbean twice but this will be my first time on Carnival. Looking forward to it very much, I have heard great things about the Pride.

 

Thanks again,

 

Brian

thanks for posting those kathy... that is so cool (no pun intended) about the shower head outside on the balcony... i would have never known if it wern't for your post...

Brian,

 

Please be sure to take pictures of your balcony (any the overhang) for your cabin 7298 on the Pride. I will have this cabin on my next cruise on the Spirit and I'd like to see pics of the balcony.

 

Thanks!

kasjb,

 

I just booked a cabin on deck 4 of the legend right next door to your suite. How much noise and vibration was there?

[kajsb]

A lot, but only the 1st and last nights. The 1st night, we hardly slept at all. Once we got south of Cabo, the seas are calmer and the noise and vibration was not bad at all. So, yours might be different not sailing out of Long Beach, CA. But, I would book this room again knowing what I know just to have the aft cabin with the wrap around balcony. I've booked a cruise for 01/2006 and I booked it so early so I could get my choice of aft cabins. I've booked the same corner type cabin but on the verandah deck.

[stokerhj]

Thanks for the info. We will be sailing in different waters, but I am still wondering whether it is worth it to call up and try to change cabins.

[kajsb]

For me, I would only change if they had a wraparound on a higher level. Other than that, I would keep the 4228. I took a cruise this month on the Ecstasy and just had a standard balcony. It was better than nothing, but it made me miss the wraparound and the large cabin even more.

[stokerhj]

kasjb,

 

I'd love a wraparound! Its a little above my current cruise budget, though. I decided to just keep the cabin I have, and take all of the benefits and disadvantages that come with it. There may be noise and vibration, but it is close to the dining room and bars and on the same floor as the arcade (which my husband will be visiting- are big "little boys" allowed?). And then there is the view.... We'll have a good time no matter what.

[TrinaLC]

We have the wraparound on the Empress deck for an upcoming trip on Victory - can't wait! Your pics are enough to drive me crazy!!

[TrinaLC]

Question - is there really a shower with hot & cold on the wrap arounds?!

[kajsb]

Stokerhj, Yes, I'm sure you will have a great cruise. The view from the aft is great.

 

TrinaLC, Well, all the cabins on the ship do have hot and cold water showers. :D I assume you are asking about the nozzle we found on the balcony? ;)

This is only cold water and so refreshing when you encounter a hot, sunny and humid day while visiting the Mexican Riviera.

SD SCREENWRITER : Just to let you know that the AFT corners on the Spirit class ships are all custom designs - the only thing you can be sure of is that the opposite aft corner (same deck) is a mirror of the other. It is my understanding that some on other levels do not have the multiple room layout - I do not recall which... but I have heard that the layout on Deck 4 is among the best - we have stayed in 4228 (Pride) and will be in 4237 on the Legend (Thanksgiving), and then back in 4228 (Miracle) next July. I can't imagine sailing on a Spirit class ship in any other type of cabin! On Conquest class ships they are CAT 9's - the rooms are not as plush (and NOT multiple rooms), yet the balconys are still large.

Hi Tom!

 

After reading your post, I called Carnival to check on our cabin 7298. Cuz if it did not have the multiple rooms, then I would rethink our choice of cabins. But, all is well. :D 7298 on the verandah deck does have multiple rooms- separate bedroom, sitting area, 2 tv's/2vcr's, dressing room, etc. Thank you for posting this information. Otherwise I might have ended up with a rude surprise if this cabin didn't have the multiple room layout. :)

Trina: The wrap around cabins on the Vicotry are category 9a's which are different from the wrap arounds on the Legend/Pride etc. which are category 11 suites.
