Maksim Posted June 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Did anyone stay in cabins 9542, 9054, 9560, 9060? I am already booked on deck 4, but after reading the reviews, it sounds like deck 9 cabins are larger and everyone recommends, even though they are obstructed. I can switch to one of those listed above, but just don't want to pay extra and end up with the fully obstructed cabin. Thanks in advance for the feedback.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2014 None of the staterooms on deck 9 are fully obstructed. The lifeboats are mounted blow the stateroom windows, so they block the view downward, but you can see straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for the feedback.:cool: We have stayed on Deck 4, when we booked a weekender on Majesty very close to sailing and that was all that was available....it is significantly smaller, and you will see perfectly fine from a cabin on Deck 9......the ocean view you want will be there, even though the lifeboats are hanging below.

karena1 Posted June 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We love getting a SOV on Deck 9. We settle for Deck 8 if the price is not right for Deck 9, but move up or book Deck 9 whenever possible. Have had a variety of cabins on Deck 9 and never have had a bad one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2RCCL Posted June 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I also vote for the SO cabin. They're so much larger than the standard OV's and the extra space really does make a difference. The view isn't that obstructed.. the lifeboats hang just below the window.. but they don't obstruct your view straight out looking at the water.

Rare LMaxwell Posted June 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2014 9562, between boats so even less obstruction. Really only see part of catwalk crew uses Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Even the deck 9 "superior" cabins are pretty small....book the largest cabin you can afford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted June 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Even the deck 9 "superior" cabins are pretty small....book the largest cabin you can afford! That's true, but they are big enough for the short cruise. Don't forget, that at some point there were the 'top of the line'.....but now comparing them to the 'WOW' cabins on some ships......well it just isn't fair.

Rare LMaxwell Posted June 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah, they aren't super wow cabins, but we find them perfectly adequate; bright, airy, had a fridge, ample storage capacity, lots of mirror and counter space. Really liked the aiming reading light. Enough square footage to move around which is much more than I can say for the lower category standard size OV cabins I saw. TV was dinky, meh. Bathroom fine. The way this site talked them down I was nervous but pleasantly relieved with the room in real life. Sometimes there are great deals on those rooms; now I am turned on to watching them. As others have said, even when there is an obstruction it doesn't block a general view of sky and water, you just can't look straight down at the ocean. I'd take even an "obstructed" SOV over a lower deck unobstructed standard size room, especially when there is a quick sale and prices are equal.

Maksim Posted June 26, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thank you all for quick replies. I will make a switch based on your comments to deck 9. The price difference is very small. Sounds like its worth it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLACRUISER99 Posted June 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2014 On Majesty I will only book a SO or JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like its worth it.:) Good choice! Our first cruise was a Deck 4 OV and each subsequent one has been Deck 9 SOV or JS. I couldn't go back down from a SOV. So much more room and the view is great with little obstruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksim Posted June 27, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I did it! The difference was small. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Booked deck 9 mid ship 9542. Hope it's not too obstructed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
