Balcony cabin configuration

[britannia56]

Does anyone else wonder why RCCL seems to be the only cruise line that puts the bed by the window and the sitting area near the the corridor door? Personally I would prefer to have the sofa close to the outside.

I believe they do this because the vanity is in a fixed location (nearest to the bathroom), and if the bed is across from the vanity, there would be very little space between them. A JS stateroom has the configuration you mention, and so do Oasis and Allure in half the balcony staterooms.

We have been in 3 different balcony rooms on the Grandeur of the Seas. All 3 had the sitting area by the balcony. Bed was as soon as you came in - right past the bathroom.

Nope, all we have to know is the bed is in the cabin:D

i drive my cabin staff crazy - drag the stool by the makeup area outside to use as a mini table or footstool, they drag it back - last cruise, they only brought it inside and left it by the door, they knew I would take it back out again!

Much further to drag it when the bed is by the door!!

If they would give us lounge chairs instead of uncomfortable chair only - would not have that problem.

i like the bed by the door - love to have the door open a crack and see the sea!! when I have a glass partician - hard to do with the metal older ships!

And,with the bed by the window, I feel I have more space to move around, but either way works, as long as I am on a cruise!!!

It's only the Oasis class ships that have the alternating couch/bed set up. All of the other ships, the cabins are set up identically, as far as bed/sofa placement.
