sheffield Posted July 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Looking to book a cruise for middle of August and the price for the above cabins is very reasonable. Does anyone know of a downside to these cabins? I realize there must be some, otherwise they wouldn't be the price they are. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a guarantee, any mini-suite is possible. This pic might help explain if you haven't seen it yet. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QYTwqysC_zUyLvlEn-xEs4zmK0q6O2I1sqEeP7bP314/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=5000#slide=id.gd42d19e5_5_18 Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield Posted July 10, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 10, 2014 They can assign any mini suite even though it's designated as an MX? Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted July 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) They can assign any mini suite even though it's designated as an MX? Thanks for the pics. Yes because any other mini-suite subcategory would be "better", any category ending with X is the lowest subcatecory available.

steffyngirl Posted July 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I have a MX mini-suite on Deck 8, is that a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted July 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I have a MX mini-suite on Deck 8, is that a bad thing? There are only 2 MX rooms on the entire ship (see photo I linked above). Do you have a room number assigned? If so, that will be your room. If you don't have a room assigned to your reservation; then you will end up in another mini-suite which could be any deck/any location (but it will be a mini-suite). Does that make sense?

Call8675309 Posted July 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We had one of the two GA MX cabins on the June 7 sailing. The only thing I can think of for downside was how far forward the cabin was. Wasn't a problem for us, but may be for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jajole Posted July 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is there a chance a MX booking could get an obstructed view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted July 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Is there a chance a MX booking could get an obstructed view? There are no balcony cabins that would have obsructed views on any NCL ship - on newest ships there might not be a view directly down to the ocean because of the lifeboats hanging below, but they do not obstruct views except when looking down from the balcony. There are some regular balconies on some ships that are enclosed, but even those are not obstructed in a sense.

awatt Posted July 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I have a MX mini-suite on Deck 8, is that a bad thing? Not that's a really good thing! Balcony is huge, as big as the M6s on the same deck. We loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
