Le Cruiser Posted October 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I haven't been here in almost a year so I hope I remember how to post!! We just book cabin 7443 on the Splendor. It's on of the aft-area cabins with the odd shape in the aft corner. We know from our PVP that there is a crew-only stairway behind the cabin, which he assures us we'll never hear. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience in either 7443 or any of the other similar cabins they could share? I've seen photos on the site that people post their cabin pics to and I like how the bed faces the window. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you don't get a couch, we think the bigger balcony more than makes up for it. We also like that the bed faces the window and balcony door. I was apprehensive about the stairwell as you are, but we have stayed in this cabin on the Freedom, the Magic and the Dream, and never heard a sound from the stairwell.

I just booked the same cabin on the Splendor but one above you. I did ALOT of research and everyone seemed to enjoy these odd shaped cabins. When do you cruise?

TONYnDEB Posted October 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2016 We are booked in 7434 on Splendor for Oct 30th cruise. After reading reviews and posts about it and its layout, we are excited to try it. Sure no sofa, but double the balcony for no extra charge? Yes, please!

L&J Posted October 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Those rooms are great. I think they only used that stairway for the Muster Drill and that was it. The balcony is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted October 31, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) We have had L-shaped cabins on Splendor - they are great! Had 7443 last year. The year before that had L-shaped 8457 on deck 8. Only problem with that cabin was that we heard chairs/lounges scrapping in the early morning. If you are a light sleeper, I would try to avoid that cabin. That is why we dropped down one deck last year. Love the balcony, though. Never heard a sound from the crew stairway.

Le Cruiser Posted November 3, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted November 3, 2016 PE4All - you had the noise issue with deck chairs when you were on deck 8, yes? Deck 7 has cabins above and below it (we always choose deck 7 for that reason, much less noise). But thank you for the information about crew noise and the balcony - the more we think it was a great choice for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pyropoodle Posted November 3, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I had this odd shaped balcony on the Victory and I LOVED it! I almost---well, now that I think about it, I did like it better than the Suite I had on the Legend, only it didn't come with all of the Suite perks. but it is nice, quiet cabin. you will love it.

Eng23 Posted November 4, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have had Cabin 7447 on the Splendor which is on the other side of that stairwell. I have never heard anything at all from the stairwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank you for the information about crew noise and the balcony - the more we think it was a great choice for us. Yes - deck 8 was the problem. We have had L-shaped cabins on Liberty and Freedom also, and always try to get deck 7. We took deck 8 as it was the only L left on Splendor when we booked. Dropped back to L on deck 7 last Feb. as it was available. I think you will love the cabin - we didn't miss the couch. Our only other problem was that the bathroom door would jam against the bed cause there wasn't enough room to open it with the beds separated. (cruised with dd) If your bed is not separated you won't have that problem. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
