CruiseRonJulie Posted August 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2019 They replaced all 4K Cabin French Doors in the last Dry Dock. They now have floor to ceiling windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the OP knows that. Edited August 19, 2019 by sanmarcosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted August 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) There sure is a lot of hype about these rooms that at best give you a small glimpse of the ocean. From what I have read here the doors were hard to open and mostly blocked by something anyways. For an interior room it is a good deal, but the door becoming a window is no big deal IMHO.

We've sailed in them 6 times and the couch and coffee table was always used so that was a plus for us over standard interiors. We got lucky and had cabins positioned between lifeboats so there was always a direct view from mid-ship to check the weather on port days and briefly open the doors to smell the sea air.

I have never stayed in this type room but have explored the videos/pictures. Layout looks like a regular balcony room which is a plus having a couch. Having the doors gone would be a bummer for some, but all together probably not a real big deal. I would book this room over a regular interior room any time. I am hooked on the extended balconies and always book way in advance to get the large ones you saw on my post about the spirit class ships. These are the same price as regular extended which is a great deal to me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to know if the door still opened for the sea breeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo59rt Posted October 7, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I just had a recent experience with these rooms, be aware that crew walks past your window/or is visible working at various times during the trip. It was always a shock since we liked to keep the shade open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by looking at a deck plan. Just be advised to check what is under you. We booked over the arcade (formerly the library & chapel)and it runs 24/7.........not good for sleeping.😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted October 8, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks Surrelaistic, do you happen to have the cabin number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoos Posted October 8, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We always tried to book one of these staterooms when sailing on the Legend and Pride. It was nice having the French doors but we booked it because it is classified as an interior stateroom but it is much larger than a regular interior and has the sofa and table. Our view was always staring out the doors at a lifeboat but we didn't book it for the view, we can go on any exterior deck when we wanted fresh air and a view. Also, the stateroom was not closed in and claustrophobic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
