anjoliza Posted March 18, 2009 #101 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well, I have been plodding through old threads for an hour now without finding the information I need. In fact, I am more confused now than when I started. Heres the problem, I hope someone can help. I would like to avoid posting a whole new thread if possible. We snagged #1212 on the Liberty for this coming September. We like the portholes, and the attractive 1A prices. I have been trying to figure out if this room has the sofa that they convert into a bed, or the bunk that fold out of the ceiling. There is a lot of conflicting info out there about this. Does anyone know the answer. I did find this page with someone's pix from the same room on Conquest. Is that flat area above the bed a fold down bunk? If so, does anyone know if the room would be the same on Liberty? http://ronrythm.com/photogallery/CarConquest101.jpg http://ronrythm.com/photogallery/CarConquest102.jpg The pictures make it look like the sofa is a pull out but the area above the bed could also possibly be a pulldown upper. According to the Deck Plan for both Liberty and Conquest Room 1212 is a upper and lower and not a convertible sofa. Not sure if that helps but according to my PVP what shows on the Deck Plan is what is in the room. The have written descriptions on each of the rooms and your PVP should be able to tell you for sure.

zebra36 Posted March 18, 2009 #102 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have one of the picture window cabins on the Triumph booked for this April and was looking at future dates for same type of cabin and it looks like this are being reclassified to 6B's. I did go back a bit on this thread and did not see this but again my apologies if this has already been revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobster71 Posted April 12, 2009 #103 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Does any body have any pics of the Conquest 1st 1a rooms on the main floor? It looks a lot bigger or more square? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachj Posted April 12, 2009 #104 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just back from the Freedom. I checked out all 3 centrally located 1A rooms 6393, 7345, and 8357. all have 2 beds on the floor and a bunk which cannot be used because the beds interfere with the ladder to the bunk.

noahsark99 Posted April 12, 2009 #105 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Valor 2217. This cabin had a lot of noise from waves hitting the ship. The sofa bed was a little too firm for me but my son slept fine on it. I've attached pictures...don't look at the mess, we were unpacking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife_2010 Posted May 31, 2009 #106 Share Posted May 31, 2009 According to the list below - 1A Carnival Freedom 2208 has a PORTHOLE. But when I called Carnival to confirm that - my PVP said their is no porthole? Which is correct? If I can get a porthole I would like one but can not get a definite answer. 1A's are confusing, at least to me, and it seems to be to other members on the Carnival forum. I have started different threads on the topic, and still have questions about other 1A cabins because they all seem to be unique. I thought it would be beneficial to have one thread dedicated to this topic with all the information you would want to know. I have started by listing just about all the 1A cabin's by number on the different ship classes. I, for one, am especially interested to better understand which cabins have true upper/lowers, which one have 2 twin beds that are able to push together, and which have 1 bed and 1 convertible sofa. Also, which ones have portholes or other interesting info. Pictures, if anyone has them, are a plus (with ship and room #, of course)! :D Please contribute to my list and make any changes for errors I may have made.

But when I called Carnival to confirm that - my PVP said their is no porthole? Which is correct? If I can get a porthole I would like one but can not get a definite answer. 2208 is NOT a porthole room. There are 4 porthole 1A's on the Riviera Deck - 1207, 1208, 1211 and 1212. 1207 & 1208 have twin & sofabed; 1211 & 1212 have upper & lower & a non-convertible sofa - 185 sq. ft. Then there are 4 more porthole 1A's on the Main Deck - 2211, 2212, 2216 and 2217. All of these rooms have a twin & sofabed - 185 sq. ft. There are 4 more portholes on the Riviera Deck but they are classified as 4A because the have 2 twins that convert to a king plus the have a non-convertible sofa and are larger rooms - 220 Sq. ft. There are 2 more portholes on the Main Deck but they are classified as 4B's - they have 2 twins that conver to a king plus a sofabed and an upper bunk - 220 sq. ft. If you go to this site and pick your ship from the list along the rightside of the page toward the bottom - you can get all kinds of info. http://www.bookccl.com/irman/ I hope this helps!

Just goes to show you some of the information on Carnival is generic. Im 100% sure that the 1As next to the old 5As are more than 185 s.f. Just stayed in one, 2211 this month, and I promise it is larger than a regular inside. 2217 next door is supposed to be 5 s.f. larger than 2211, because it goes a little deeper, the hull hasnt curved as much, so the cabin is a bit longer, same width. Anyone who goes by the generic carnival descriptions is missing out. Many of those 1As are varying in size. Maybe you havent actually been in them, but just looking at the deck plans, its pretty obvious they vary in size. They certainly arent all 185 s.f. That is the minimum you can expect. PS the list doesnt say 2208 has a port hole, the poster just looked at the wrong cabin perhaps, the list is correct. Maybe the poster got confused the way the list is written, "port" means the cabin is on the port side of the ship. SB means starboard side of the ship. Its the location. 2208 fwd, port, 1 bed + 1 CS2211 fwd, SB, 1 bed + 1 CS, portholes Edited May 31, 2009 by firefly333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the list you quoted, 2208 is on port side, not a cabin with portholes. Sorry that it's not what you hoped. The CCL person on the phone was giving you corect advice.

dznymom Posted June 3, 2009 #112 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I had a funny conversation with a Carnival rep today. I was booking Destiny 2335 and 2334, and she kept trying to help me out by telling me over & over again that I should get a porthole room instead! I told her that these had windows, but she insisted that was not correct, and she was afraid that I was going to be disappointed. I held my ground and I am thrilled that I will have 2335 for a B2B in February and my Mom will be in 2334 for the first leg!! I was fortunate to have 2445 on the Victory last summer, so I know how lucky I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think the difference is that the window cabins are probably bunk beds on that ship, not sure, whereas the port holes have one twin and one convertible sofa, so I might still prefer the port holes unless I was travelling alone. Iv been trying to determine if 7345 on Conquest has twin beds, so far in my searching this database, on 4 other ships, 3 said yes, 1 says no. So, Im still not 100% and my PVP says Carnival shows it as upper and lower. (which doesnt mean much). Edited June 3, 2009 by firefly333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, Victory was my first CCL cruise and it was to Canada!! Well, I think the difference is that the window cabins are probably bunk beds on that ship, not sure, whereas the port holes have one twin and one convertible sofa, so I might still prefer the port holes unless I was travelling alone. Destiny cabin 2335 consists of a twin on the floor, an upper pull-down out of the ceiling (it was in its locked position for my cruise as I was solo), and a sofa along with the two picture windows.

GreenZolie Posted June 4, 2009 #117 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I remember reading this thread before I left on my cruise a couple of months ago, and I didn't have a clue what kind of cabin my A1 R56 was. I now know, so I will offer my info. I realize this is an old thread that keeps getting resurrected, so if someone has already posted about it, my apologies. R56 on the Ecstasy (Fantasy Class) is on the Riviera Deck, of course. It is one of 9 vertical, "single" cabins in a middle hallway (so no windows at all). I call it single, because that is what my TA called it when he booked me as a single cruiser. But, it could sleep 2. There is a twin bed in the corner, and a bunk twin in the wall, above the head of the floor bed. Since I was a solo cruiser, they didn't pull the wall bed down, so I didn't get to try it out to see how comfortable it was. There was a ladder in the closet for it. Because the twin bed was in the corner, there was actually a lot of room between the bed and the far wall - enough room for another twin, actually, although that would have left little room to walk around. It was quite roomy, though, with just the one floor twin - especially compared to my relative's rooms on the Upper Deck (U29, 33, 37, and 41) where they had hardly any walking room at all. They are all couples, though, so there were two twins pushed together in their rooms. The vanity, closets, and bathroom were the same size as my relative's rooms on the Upper Deck. R56 was PERFECT for a solo cruiser. I loved it. LOVED it. I would not want to travel with a companion in this room, though. It would be very crowded for two people who are not a couple, and would not work for two people who are a couple and want to sleep together, because the twin bed is not big enough for two. (It was VERY comfortable and perfect for a single sleeper, though) The only way I would book this room for two, is if my 24 year old daughter traveled with me. At 5'1" and 100 pounds, she could climb that ladder easier than I could! I know at MY age, I would not enjoy climbing the ladder to get into bed. Before my cruise, when I was reading online everything about the ship that I could get my hands on, I was able to view an example of each class of stateroom on the Ecstasy - EXCEPT the R56 type rooms. The layout is slightly different than the other rooms, but they don't show a diagram of it anywhere that I could find. Sooooo, compulsive individual that I am, I created a primitive drawing of the room in Excel. But, I don't know how to upload things to a post here, so you all won't have to be subjected to my pitiful artwork. ;) I did not encounter any noise whatsoever in this room. According to the floor plan of the ship, R83 and R87 are two rooms behind R56, in the hallway on the starboard side, laying perpendicular to R56. Either those rooms were empty, or the occupants were very quiet, because I never heard a peep out of them. There was no stateroom (just white space on the map) to the right of R56, which was the wall the bed was on, so I slept very well with no apparent opportunity for noise from that side. R54 is to the left, but I never heard a peep out of those folks either. It was a perfect room and I plan to book it again on my next cruise!

coachj Posted June 4, 2009 #118 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have sailed the Victory in 2444 and a friend in 2445 both have 2 windows and a twin bed with a small couch. The Triumph is the sister ship.

dznymom Posted June 4, 2009 #123 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) These are photos of Victory 2445. They were taken in July of 2008, so things could have changed. This was a fabulous room for a solo. There was one single bed, a bunk in the ceiling and the sofa did not make into a bed, nor was it long enough to be comfortable for an adult to sleep on. The closets are open in the picture to give you an idea how much storage there is.
