kicia Posted October 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2009 This is what John Heald has to say about those cabins. Hi John, Quick question for you. The deck plans for the dream show the two 9A aft wraps on deck 8 as having full wraps (cabins 8466 and 8473) looking at some hi def pictures I found, it is clear that these cabins are not wraps at all, in fact the cabins “behind” them 8462 and 8469 have wrap balconies. Now are my eyes deceiving me or is the Carnival deck plan wrong? John Says: Hello Dave WOW – you may be right. I just read this and know I am not sure. Let me contact the ship and see if the balcony divider can be moved or not and what the correct information is. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention and I hope to post the correct information in the next 24 hours. In fact……….I just received an immediate reply from the ship and this is the story. According to the Guest Services Manager this was brought up to the ship yard yesterday in a meeting they had as you are correct. They are not wrap around balconies and therefore they are discussing with the shipyard ways to change this. Meanwhile guests who have booked these cabins based are being compensated accordingly. Hopefully this situation is taken care of quickly and I will let you know accordingly. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Best wishes John Gives you something to think about. We have a 9A on deck 7 so I hope those are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybaby1113 Posted October 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The deck 7 ones look okay. It was only the deck 8 ones that were off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillespieda Posted October 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We have 8462 booked at the end of Feb. I sure hope they don't "fix"it too soon! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted October 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We have 8462 booked at the end of Feb. I sure hope they don't "fix"it too soon! :p We have 8466 for the 2/27/10 sailing... I have a feeling we will cancel this one unless something is done to remedy the situation - or unless alternate arrangements can be made.

I know you have had this booked for awhile. I am assuming, since we paid alot less, they will try somehow to move us out of our room. We are suppose to be next to you on this cruise. We are not too picky, but, I know if I paid for a wrap, I would want a wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not too picky, but, I know if I paid for a wrap, I would want a wrap. I doubt they would move you.. but you never know. They certainly can't do machine work/welding out there with passengers on the ship every day. Though they will have a couple of "passenger free" days when they reposition from NYC to Pt. Canaveral prior to the 12/3/09 sailing. Hopefully they can use that time to "fix" this issue (if that's even possible) as well as other things which come to their attention over the next few sailings.

When I sent this info to my CVS a week or so ago -asking her to help get information - the first thing she said is that it looked like the divider was in the wrong place :eek:.

cruising together Posted October 10, 2009 #15 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Does anyone know about the corner aft on the Vista deck are they wraps since they are a Cat 8D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerikaner83 Posted October 10, 2009 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Does anyone know about the corner aft on the Vista deck are they wraps since they are a Cat 8D? wraps are (supposed to be) 9A, decs 6, 7, and 8. Vista is deck 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted October 10, 2009 #17 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Does anyone know about the corner aft on the Vista deck are they wraps since they are a Cat 8D? From the pictures I have seen....the only deck with an issue is 8. I looks like the balcony divider got put in the wrong place - but only on deck 8 :(.

Amerikaner83 Posted October 10, 2009 #18 Share Posted October 10, 2009 so are you saying all they need to do is move the little balcony divider thingy a few feet forward? *shall we keep this to one thread, or keep crossing over on both?

brgnascar Posted October 11, 2009 #20 Share Posted October 11, 2009 the 8 A, vista wrap is actually the largest aft balcony of them all , and it is the cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted October 11, 2009 #21 Share Posted October 11, 2009 the 8 A, vista wrap is actually the largest aft balcony of them all , and it is the cheapest I think it's the cheapest because it is under the lido. Big overhang, so no sun, and lots of noise. I hope you're a heavy sleeper.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling we will cancel this one unless something is done to remedy the situation - or unless alternate arrangements can be made. Tom We will be moving tomorrow, looking at the pictures of the cabin layout it just won't work for us. I am glad John answered my post and I do hope this whole thing will be cleared up soon, I can imagine that there are a number of surprised people cruising in those (non) wraps for the next couple of weeks. BTW THIS is the thread I started after I first saw the pictures, take a look through it, there are some very good pictures showing the outside and the interior of the 9A's on deck 8.
