Getting ready to book on Silhouette-want to be careful about cabin selection

[hullman57@verizon.net]

My TA has given us cabin 7291, it's a category 2B. Any issues? Is the balcony have a good enough view? Seems like it's a good selection, it's aft and far enough back as I requested something quiet. Nothing above or below but cabins.

 

Normally the 3 cruises we've done before have been a GTY so if I'm having the TA take care of us, want to make sure!

 

We're sailing on the 9 day, November 30th cruise, will check out Roll Call soon. Thank you to everyone for your help and advice.

Have you checked the cabin sticky above yet about this?

You can also google your cabin and you may luck up and get a You Tube of the actual cabin. The websites that have deck plans are helpful, but tend to have stock videos for each class on each ship, rather than pictures of the actual cabin.

Thanks, didn't have reviews of actual cabin from what I can tell but in general seems quiet, view might be not great if looking straight down with lifeboats but we got a great price with 2 perks from TA.

I ran the search for you on the "sticky." There's only one listing for 7291, here:

You mentioned wanting quiet -- given how far aft you'll be, I think you should have a great deal of quiet (not that I've found it noisy elsewhere).

 

Enjoy your cruise!

We are in a cabin two away from you on a later cruise. I have looked at many photos . I believe your view from deck 7 would be looking down to the middle of the last lifeboat if you were looking straight down. Does not look like a davit is prodruding up. I doubt you will even see the lifeboat while sitting down on your balcony. These boats are on 5 obstructing 6 but should not be much of a problemon7. My relatives are in your cabin. Like you we got great pricing. I actually have a a problem with heights and like it having the boats two down.

7291 It's a cabin port side, with the bed by the balcony, near the AFT, Balcony without obstructions, cabins in deck 6 are partial obstructed by the lifeboats.

That’s a nice cabin choice. I think you will enjoy it!

Deck plans seem to show that 7291 is just aft of the last lifeboat. However, if you look straight down from any of the aft side cabins on decks 6 through 12 you will be looking at either a lifeboat or some other part of deck 5 since deck 5 is somewhat wider than all of these decks. The edge of deck 5 appears to be about 8 or 9 feet beyond the balcony rails of all of these cabins; but this is not really a problem since your view will generally be looking outward rather than straight down.
