Silver Shadow Cabin 5500 & 5501

[Cap_Scarlet]

We are booking one of the cheapest cabins without a balcony - most of which are on deck 4.

 

However there are two cabins without balcony on deck 5 right at the front (cabins 5500 and 5501)

 

Has anyone stayed in either of those cabins?

 

They appear to be larger than the others but I wonder if they are disadvantaged in some way!

 

Thanks

We booked #5501 on the Whisper (sister ship) for a recent cruise. When we boarded we had been reassigned to another stateroom. I am also interested in answers to Cap_Scarlet’s question.

I'm also showing these 2 available and would like to know . If I book this voyage I will have the travel agent ask . They do look larger don't they . Curious

Hi All.

These cabins are very far forward and if you are sailing in heavy seas the ship will be pitching a lot giving a fair degree of up and down motion and maybe some slamming that can be pretty loud. Try sleeping in that. They are also near to the anchor chain chamber so if she is not docked the anchor chain release running out is very noisy and usually done on arrival on station early morning. I noticed in Silversea website image of The Shadow the anchor is photo shopped out. That leads me to think SS is try it on. These two cabin were never sold before RCCL took over probably because they are not good places to be while sailing.

We haven't heard from anyone who has actually stayed in one of these cabins and one person who bought it and was moved. Maybe they don't really intend to sell them?

 

It seems that choosing this cabin because it's bigger might not be the best idea.

 

I have been in one of the other no-balcony cabins on Shadow and they are just fine.

Those are the cabins reserved for livestock and magicians.
