NKsDogWalker Posted August 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We are in cabin 7336 on Liberty in December. I've heard cabins on the hump are better. Is this true? Anyone have photos? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msumike Posted August 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We like just behind the hump...Less wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The lure for some people is being close to the elevators/stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forums mobile app Yes, the hump cabins are better. Better location, better views, close to the elevators. LOVE those hump cabins! Had my first on the Mariner and both upcoming cruises on the Navigator we have hump cabins booked. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2bcruzin Posted August 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Funny I was just looking at the Liberty next March on the hump. We have never been in a hump cabin, but we have one booked on the Jewel in November and it's center hump. So, I guess we'll know after that whether or not it's worth it. I really like the aft cabins all the way on the back of the ship and the one corner ones on the Liberty look to have huge balconies. The elevator location has never really been an issue for us as I said we prefer aft. Unless you have issues walking there's not a cruise ship out there that is so large a short walk to the aft should be too big of a deal. At least it's not a concern for us. That being said. It will obviously be a nice perk. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted August 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have had hump cabins and they are great. The only thing is do not get a hump cabin that faces forward as it will get a lot of wind while underway. The other issue is that the two hump cabins near the regular cabins will allow your adjacent cabin dwellers to look into your balcony and vice versa. The center hump cabin is the best IMO.

Cigar King Posted August 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We had a couple of hump cabins on the Liberty just recently, I didn't find anything particularly WOW about them. Now some of those aft balconies...those are hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare printingchick Posted August 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2013 lv2bcruzin : I recently read a thread by someone who had a hump cabin on a radiance class ship who said it was VERY loud and difficult to sleep if you like to turn in before mid-night. Since most of the action on the radiance class ships take place in the centrum, being near that area can make it noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted August 28, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I prefer the hump cabins on Voyager and Freedom class ships to the aft ones. The dead center JS cabins are larger inside and out - on Liberty there was room for two loungers facing the sea (and they were on it). Loved it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1181 Posted August 28, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Love the hump cabins! DH has knee problems & can't do a lot of walking so the location is ideal for us. I prefer center hump or the cabins that face forward. There's no forward view at all if you're on the back of the hump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaNavy Posted August 28, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2013 As others have said, the humps are closer to the elevators. Other than that, I don't see any advantage. I had 6614 on Navigator last year - it was at the bow end of the hump so, as mentioned before, it was windy...and the neighbors could have seen over the divider if they'd had a mind too. Some folks like the fact that there's a small amount of extra space next to the bed that's closest to the window/door, but I didn't see that it made any difference. But hey, give it a try, maybe you'll like it a lot. These cabins definitely have their fans, as you can tell by other posts. Happy sailing to all!

h18furball Posted August 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have 5 adjacent rooms in Indy coming up. 8640-8648. I hope to be able to have the dividers opened up to have a large connecting balcony. I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigque Posted August 28, 2013 #16 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I had Hump # 9580 on Serenade that was 2 cabins foward from center hump and I loved it! Can look straight down and all the way forward and aft. I enjoyed the library ride outside the room and the chairs and tables right by the railing which was a good place sipping a drink and playing a game of backgammon! On Freedom in 46 days (:D) I have 9340 center hump! I am so looking forward to it! We just love the hump for convience when needed. But I have found that the forward elevators are never as crowded as the center elevators so we use those alot and end up walking the hallway anyway, so the location to the stairs and elevators is not a selling point of the hump for us!

tigstoy Posted August 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I wanted to see what all the hub bub with a hump cabin was about so we are booked on the Independence 7338 in February 2014. We were in 6360 on the Indy in Dec 2012 and it was very nice but about six cabins behind the hump cabins. I am hoping we love the middle hump cabins where we can see both forward and backwards. You will have to let us know NKsDogWalker what you think after your cruise. You are right next door to the cabin we have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is on the side of the ship with the glass elevator banks, it's actually in front of the hump. The problem is that side of the ship is open air from the promenade deck all the way up to deck 12. The hump cabins on that class of ship are on the opposite side away from the elevator banks, and are separated from the atrium by a solid wall that goes from deck 6 all the way up to the pool deck. Not surprised that the cabin mentioned would be noisy, since it effectively sits right in the middle of a huge open air speaker cone:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiecookie Posted August 28, 2013 #19 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have done 2 cruises so far, and am very new to cc, so could someone actually tell me what a hump cabin is as I don't have a clue. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks If you look at the deck layouts on Royal Caribbeans site, you will see a little farther back than half way a spot that bows out from the ship like a bump or camel hump. These are what are called the hump cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PudgiPoo Posted August 28, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I love hump cabins:D except on the Vision and Radiance class ships. I can't say that all are noisy, but why chance it. I want to make every cruise as good as it can be. I want to enjoy every minute. Therefore, no humps on these two classes of ships for this cruiser. I think they have tried to fix this noise problem and this is good. If you like to stay up late and party this is great for you (you can crawl home from the bar and the noise will never bother you).
