So glad we were able to enjoy that. We'll just stick with each of us having our own balcony cabin for the Allure WB TA in 2025. Yeah, you ended up with an even better deal than we did! 🙂 But I have no complaints. It was a fantabulous 4 weeks last year, plus was able to do so when the pricing was fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have a theory though since this itinerary has both Barcelona and Rome as ports where you can get on, I think they are reserving those rooms for the May 4, 2025 sailing from Barcelona because it’s showing available there but not on the May 8th since it’s a 7 day and there would already be someone in the room. It’s bizarre how they allocate what port gets which rooms since for Rome they only have the aft balcony cabin 7330 and 7730 next to the rock climbing sections. Maybe @Ourusualbeach can shed more light. FWIW, we prefer those deck 7 1As. Yes, they can be a haul in the hallway (we usually walk down the boardwalk and up those stairs by the Aquatheater), but the layout is much better and makes it feel even larger.

What about noise from people going and coming from that entrance and the aqua shows or activities going on outside? We have toddlers so they sleep by 9/10pm and are concerned being so close to the aqua shows and the noise? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have toddlers so they sleep by 9/10pm and are concerned being so close to the aqua shows and the noise? Thanks. We were in one just this summer with our 4-year-old for a 9-nighter on Oasis. He was out like a light by around 10pm, exhausted from all he did each day (hours of Splashaway Bay will do that to you, I guess)...even fell asleep at dinner twice. We used a white noise app on the iPad since he has a white noise machine at home. In his bunks, you couldn't hear anything but the white noise. He slept better than he does at home. The bunks are positioned in a spot away from the door, so it's harder to hear noise in the nook IF there is much. Honestly, the only time we heard anything in the room at all was one night during the aqua show, and it just seemed like they had the system up louder that night than the others. Otherwise, never had any noise bleed in. That door is not utilized much at all, still seems like a hidden secret for many (you don't see it looking down the hall, there are a couple of quick turns, so if you don't already know it's there, it's easy to miss that it is). If prices weren't so out of control, we'd be back in that cabin in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing your experience that’s very helpful….I have been debating between this room (refundable deposit) and a Jr suite on deck 8 midship (non-refundable deposit) for the Allure on a Mediterranean cruise with the kiddos. Price difference is $3 if I consider the additional OBC that you get with the Jr suite from Amex, balcony rate does not qualify for Amex benefit.

The bunk beds vs the couch (and the space saved by not opening the couch) would sway us to the 1A. JS doesn't have enough perks to add additional value in my eyes.

pamela27 Posted November 14, 2023 #1133 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hi, does anyone know what is happening to Rhapsody after she does her 10 nights on 16th February 2025?. We are booked on the 7th March sailing and would have liked to do a b2b. There is not a sailing listed between the 16th feb and 7th March. Would she be chartered? Thank you.

That'd be a nice two bird/one stone situation. But I'm going to get itchy next week once the 7 night Caribbeans come out As much as I’d like to see a Quantum ship in LA, the LA cruises (both Royal and Celebrity) are generally the lowest price comparable cruises in the network. A repositioning Hawaii/ Los Angeles cruise maybe, but nothing more although it’d be really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
