Hump Cabins on Freedom of the Seas

[AF-1]

Are there any advantages of booking a cabin right on the hump?  Thanks for any and all comments.  I am looking to book a cabin for a January 2023 cruise. Cheers

Close to elevators and view.

The staterooms are the same as any other ins the same category.  If you are the first or last cabin on the hump, you can see down the sides of the ship from the verandah without leaning over the railing.  The first cabin on the hump will get more breeze on the verandah when the ship is moving.

As they extend out from the ship, the balcony views over the water and along the sides are somewhat unique.  But the biggest advantage IMO is the proximity, as mentioned, to the elevator banks. They are typically considered desirable as a result.

The balconies are a bit larger to match the curve of the hump. The room is the same as adjacent rooms and the hump adds to the balcony.

Would like to add that these locations are also quite relative to the elevator banks as they are in a hallway behind the lobby area.  We have never had a noise issue with those locations from the traffic in the lobby using the elevators and stairways.

Thanks I did book a hump cabin on Freedom.  I believe we picked the second to the end on the hump.  The end cabin was taken.  This is a JS

I am sure you will like that!  JS's are a nice stateroom and that is a good location IMO.  Enjoy your cruise.  Also one of our favorite ships!
