adria12 Posted January 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2012 On the Miracle/Pride/Legend.... Which are the 7A rooms with not so bad views? On Upper Deck, are the lifeboats still an issue with visibility? Would 5236 have a good view? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiD59 Posted January 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you look at the image for the deck plans you can see that there a few cabins that are in between the lifeboats (5151 for example). Your immediate view down for most 7A cabins is the top of a lifeboat, which is pretty level with the floor of your balcony. Notice in this picture of the Miracle, the first 3 lifeboats are used for tendering and are bigger and therefore sit higher up on your balcony than the others. You might want to choose a 7A cabin that was more mid-ship and behind those particular boats. Hope that helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2C Posted January 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2012 On the Miracle/Pride/Legend.... Which are the 7A rooms with not so bad views? On Upper Deck, are the lifeboats still an issue with visibility? Would 5236 have a good view? Thanks! I just booked on the Legend and after searching for pics and information for months on the 7A's here's what my opinion is on the better ones, i.e.., you get a between lifeboats view on part of your balcony (no 7A balcony is completely between lifeboats). In order of what I wanted 1st, then 2nd etc: 5184 5185 5230 5233 5232 5235 Got to be a little careful and remember that 7A balconies are recessed in from the 8A balconies so you have to think about the 1st and last 7A cabins in the row will have their view to the left or right obstructed also and like the other poster said, don't get a cabin by the 1st 3 lifeboats (closest to the front of the ship) on either side of the ship because they are bigger lifeboats and the view is a lot more obstructed. FYI, a balcony in the middle of a lifeboat isn't bad either if you have to take one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Upper Deck, are the lifeboats still an issue with visibility? Would 5236 have a good view? Thanks! We were in 5236 on the Miracle in October. The view is fine. The balcony is awesome. The room is next to a storage area and the balcony is the length of 2 cabins. Below is a picture of the balcony. You can see over the boats and there are spots where you see between them. http//i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee516/nofocruiser/Carnival%20Miracle%20to%20Bermuda/IMGP0165.jpg%5B/IMG%5D"] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westview1 Posted January 18, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here's a picture taken from the balcony. BTW the balcony had 2 chairs and one chaise lounge when we sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I did forget about this cabin with the double long balcony. That storage space space (I was trying to find out about what it was), did it's use by crew ever make it noisy? Also, is the balcony slightly more narrow then the others? I ask because some of the pics I see on the room site make it look that way (your's don't though) Thanks for that reminder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it holds linens and towels etc. So the cabin stewards would use it from about 8:00 am - 10:00 am and then 4:00 pm- 7:00 pm, it may have been longer but we never heard them, we only saw them once or twice. The balcony is not as wide as regular balconies, if my BF was sitting on the chair and I wanted to get by I had to climb over him a little, it was like getting past someone in a movie theater. But the balcony was nice, I spent a lot of time reading out there, I even napped on the chaise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
