Lady_Gamecock Posted April 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Because the Solstice Class isn't out yet, this question may not be answerable...but I'm gonna try anyway. :p The "hump cabins" on the Equinox - does anyone know if the room will actually be "larger" than other cabins in those various classes? I have never booked one before and it almost looks like those on the "corners" of the hump actually appear to be smaller from the diagram of the ship's decks. I may be totally missing the point to the hump - can someone please help me out on this one? Thanks tons! Lady_G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted April 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We have been on hump cabins on Brilliance and Jewel of the Seas and they were very nice because you could get a very good field of vision being away from the body of the ship. The humps on the Solstice are bigger and won't give as much of that feeling. But if you are close to one of the humps, they will definitely obstruct your view.

mafig Posted April 6, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2008 And the cabins on the humps are all adjoining rooms. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinelyCruising Posted April 6, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Mafig - No not all of them. We are in 8279 on Equinox and the same location on the opposite side of the ship on Solstice(I can't remember the cabin number) and took them because they are not adjoining, and both are on the hump. As MVP indicates, the field of vision is less limited and we have enjoyed these locations on the RCCL ships, and these cabin locations seem to me to be similar to in idea.

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted April 6, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2008 MVPinBoynton: What would you consider being "close to the hump"? Since we have not been near a hump that we weren't on, I can't say for sure; but I would guess that you would want to be at least 10 cabins away. The way the hump comes out so far on the Solstice Class, I don't think any cabins would get a clear view if they weren't on the hump. But this is just a guess by looking at the deck plans.

Although my brochure has 8279 as a 1A vs 8277 (next door) an adjoining cabin that's a 2A. I wonder if there's a difference in size? These 1As (all of them) intrigue me. They're in interesting locations and some of them -- like the very last cabins on Sunrise, Vista and Panorama look like they have larger balconies.

cruisinelsewhere Posted April 7, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Though noone can answer with any definite answer today....I am on the Solstice Inaugural in a hump cabin and most certainly will report back shortly after returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Mom Posted April 7, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Oh boy.. we are booked in a CC cabin nexgt to the hump-1108. ON THE Equinox. ARE WE IN TROUBLE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinelsewhere Posted April 7, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2008 In front or back of the hump? If you are in front....look forward. If you are in back...guess you will look aft. Cannot imagine it would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinelsewhere Posted April 7, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Please pardon me for being dense, but what is a hump cabin? There is a portion of the ship...about midships...that sticks out further than the rest of the ship...hence the hump. Check out deck plans and you will know which of we speak.

Maybe it could be just because they are not adjoining, otherwise they look the same to me .I am looking forward to the reports once this ship sails.

pris993 Posted April 7, 2008 #16 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have booked the hump cabin on the Summit, Constellation, and Infinity -- the cabins were all the same size, only the balcony was a little bigger - i.e., longer on one side, cut at an angle. I looked at these cabins on the Equinox too, does look a bit smaller on the web site, suspect that is simply an illusion, would guess they are the same size.

Parrot Mom Posted April 7, 2008 #17 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Neighbor! \ Are you in the hump/bump...I tried to upgrade but was told the bump/hump cabins were sold out.. I hadnt noticed anybody in the cabin next to us.. Oh well..its a funky shaped cabin I bet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 7, 2008 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Humps are what we prefer--always forward looking--always have nicer balconies--we'll see if that holds for Solstice . Our is not connecting one as far as we know.. They are popular like the afts & the charge is higher for them probabaly for that reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Gamecock Posted April 7, 2008 Author #19 Share Posted April 7, 2008 We went ahead and got a hump on Equinox. Almost right smack in the middle of the hump - hope that makes it that much more awesome, too. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinelyCruising Posted April 7, 2008 #20 Share Posted April 7, 2008 For the adjoining cabins, I had read on this class of ship there will be a vestibule at the corridor that creates a shared entry point for both and then on to a cabin door for each particular cabin, so it will be a bit different than other X ships before this class.

Does that mean all you 'HUMP" people share an entry and poor little me at the funky angle is shut out..lol So, now there are AFT SNOBS and HUMP SNOBS...

I didn't select adjoining cabins, so I won't be able to speak to wether it's good for not. I think the idea the cruiseline had in mind was so the doors to both cabins could be left open to create a flow for families with a bit of privacy and personal entry/exit at the same time. I do think this vesibule might end up being some extra storage space, and that's always a good thing. But since I have done both hump and aft, I am ok with being called a really big snob. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
