Dreamer115 Posted August 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It's been about 5 years since we have been on Royal but looking at a possible cruise for next year. Was thinking of Ocean view but I prefer the bed not to be under the window so we can stand and look out not kneel on the bed. Does anyone know which cabins have the bed that way? Thanks.

Connie Cabins 4580-4590 are set up that way. It's a small hallway directly off the centrum where they added rooms in a dry dock some years ago. It used to be a small dining room, so the windows are quite a bit bigger than standard OV cabins. DW and I were in 4580 on Serenade this past March, and loved the room/location.

MiniChunks Posted August 11, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I can't believe I didn't take a better picture of the room than this, but it seems to show exactly what you're looking for. This was the view I had laying in bed. The windows could have used a cleaning i suppose. Edited August 11, 2020 by MiniChunks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted August 11, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Whenever we do an OV cabin on serenade we always book cabins in this section 4580-4590. Very private. Not noisy at all. There is even a glass door that you can close at hallway if centrum is noisy. I think we have stayed in all 5 of these cabins and the only one Not thrilled with was 4590. There was a vibration on the wall that connected to empty dining room area. Love the extra large window. Big enough to put my backpack and books on it too. Very convenient location. Go for it. You'll love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the deck plan and have to believe those like 4580 are going to have some serious noise pounding when things are happening at night in the centrum.

I agree 100% with @Sunshine3601 about the noise. 4580 is the first room in that hallway off the centrum and there was no noise at all. The heavy glass door leading from the centrum into the hallway blocks almost all of the noise by itself, and once you close your cabin door, there's nothing. Another bonus about the location is that there are only a few rooms in that hall. You don't have a lot of foot traffic going past your room making noise. I would book this room again in a heartbeat.

We spent 11 nights in there and heard nothing. As previously mentioned, there's a heavy door leading off the centrum that is always closed.

No foot traffic. No maid carts parked in hallway throughout the day. Nice private area and great location to stairs elevator centrum the bar and the mdr. Love this area. We have stayed in this location several times on serenade and her sister ship the Jewel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a rollater/walker and have had problems getting by the maid carts so not having that problem would be a big bonus. I will definitely look into these cabins.

Hoopster95 Posted August 11, 2020 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) On my last sailing on Brilliance, I stayed on the other side of guest services in 4561 (red oval in the deck plans), which is the first cabin from the guest services mid-ship... no door closed in the evening ... VERY noisy! I would suspect the OV across from me at that location would have also been extremely noisy. I agree with those who say this is a great location and set of cabins... we had an active CC & roll-call member stayed in one of the 4580-4590 cabins (green oval on the deck plans). He absolutely loved the cabin and location. The windows are larger than normal OV cabins, and the location was ultra-quiet with almost zero foot traffic & zero noise from the Centrum as the heavy doors were closed at all times.

Thanks No worries at all about noise in these cabins. We have stayed in these cabins on both Serenade and Jewel and have always enjoyed the private hallway since there are only 6 or 8 cabins in this section. there is a glass door at the entrance to the Centrum from this section that you can close if it is not closed. But even with it open you still won't hear noise. Hope you love this section as much as we do. Great location!! Enjoy The huge window is also very nice. I stored my books and backpack on the window ledge. Edited February 18, 2023 by Sunshine3601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget exactly, it was Laura's cabin first. Plus the solo price throws ot off. Somewhere around 4 grand comes to mind. That may include the extra for solo. Love the space, but distance is going to be a pain. The ones we're talking about here are a great location. And the cabin fixtures are virtually new compared to the rest of ship Edited February 19, 2023 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
