rkmom Posted May 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I was booked with a 4A gty and was just able to find out my room assignment, which is 5235. It is listed as a 7A on the book/modify page, but when I click on stateroom details on the carnival "my reservation" page it shows me a picture of a 6A and mentions 5A obstructed view. So I am confused. Does this room have a balcony, is it really a 7A? It looks like on the diagram it is sort of between two boats, so will there be some sort of pole obstructing the view? I think having a balcony and fresh air will be nice even without much view, but it would be even better to have a little bit of a view. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this room? Thanks for any info.! Kim-- just 40 days to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANyone else with any info/pics of this room? Thanks--Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted May 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I had it my 7A reservation too with the wrong picture. Trust me, a 7A is a partially (not much) obstructed balcony. Why Carnival shows a different picture is beyond me. Maybe they want people to pay more for an "upgrade" to an unobstructed 8A. 7A's are a bargain for the minor obstruction you get.

boblegacy Posted May 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2005 This means that if you look out you see the water but if you look down you see a life boat. A nice upgrade!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleacat Posted May 26, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Kim, yes we have been on Carnival, 3 times before. First time our honeymoon in 1977, second 1994, last for a milleum cruise. My daughter Katie has celebrated every birthday on a cruise ship. This will be #14 for her and she will be 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 1, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Kim: How did you find your assignment?? Sometimes the pics on the modify booking shows you what is available. Its usually one above or one below what we booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjunea Posted June 1, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2005 We were in 5229 last week and two of our tablemates were in 5235. The lifeboat comes up to the bottom of the balcony, or at your feet. Their cabin had more of the view of the winch that holds the lifeboat in place and the mysterious blue canvas bag that covers something than ours did. But it was wonderful. Just be careful. The door closes by itself, slamming quite loudly. When I would pull up our reservation, it would show the 6A also, so don't worry! You will have a great time and it is in a great location, near the elevators that lead to the lido restaurant! June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmom Posted June 3, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thanks everyone for the info and pics. serene56--I used the book/modify link in the check your room assignment post. Sometimes it works for me, other times it doesn't. Looking forward to seeing other 7/3 miracle people! kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 3, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Sometimes if you have a hard time getting into that page--its because too many people are accessing it at the same time. Or they could be doing something with your sailing so you people that are sailing at the same time wont be able to access the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
