RuthC Posted May 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I wouldn't want to be that far forward, even if the cabin wasn't smaller than other outsides. The ship curves there, and some space is lost to that curve. I haven't been in the room, so can't comment on how much less space there is there. I can comment on other outside cabins, and they are very comfortable for two people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also an R class ship and the cabin is fairly close to 2505. So the cabins should be similar. I would not book it based solely on the forward location. https://halfacts.com/r-class/2512-rotterdam/ Edited May 11, 2023 by Red Haired Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach spring Posted May 11, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2023 jlou, my husband and I booked late, so this was the OV cabin we selected from the handful available. We preferred to not do a Guarantee this time, not to mention other considerations. I am not impressed by the above comments but we will just make do. When we return, maybe I can provide you some more specific info, if you still are interested. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlou Posted May 25, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hi - I actually just got off the cruise with this cabin. I'm very security conscious so wasn't feeling good about adding this piece of info to my original post. I got upgraded from an inside to this cabin a couple of days before sailing and was quite anxious as my previous experience with forward cabins was not positive and I was taking a grandchild so was a special cruise. The cabin is much smaller than the inside I had booked so while it was a generous upgrade from a cost perspective - from a size perspective it was a negative. The main thing missing was the couch and the vanity was difficult to use other than storage. The portholes added light and actually more clear to look out of than I have found the windows in an outside cabin. We had the 2 bed configuration which seemed to give more room around the beds than with the single bed. Storage was plentiful so no cut back there. We had a fair bit of rougher waters on this cruise and I was pleasantly surprised that there was no major motion concerns which was a concern. There was noise when getting into port and leaving but even this was not anything major as we usually slept thru it. So other than reduced size I was satisfied with this cabin and the location. It turned out to be much better than originally anticipated. So 'Beach Spring' I hope this helps you out with your upcoming cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
