Probably the biggest disappointment was I was originally in a 4J on the Freedom before the ships were swapped. Love a 4J. No noise, though. Sometimes the views are non existent but if it is only 20 bucks more I will take the balcony configuration and natural light over a regular interior room. Last year I had a regular interior for the Freedom in Feb from Miami and it got switched over to the Spirit and I actually got a true upgrade at no cost..........they stuck me in a regular balcony on deck 5 which was a pleasant surprise. Do the 4J's have any kind of view other than the "secret" deck?. I would feel like a goldfish being watched in one of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted March 10 #28 Share Posted March 10 No, the 4J’s only have the picture window out to the “secret deck.” Supposedly people can’t see in during the day unless they stick their nose right up to the glass, but yes, one does feel like a goldfish being watched. At night the curtains have to be closed for navigational purposes. I have had those rooms a few times and like the proximity to the secret deck, but I usually kept my curtain closed most of the time.

Very little light. If you are standing, you can get a pretty good view forward in a 4J. Glory 4J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing some of the ones on the Splendor and they were much more recessed and I don't think they had that good a view. I meant balcony configuration as in same layout as a balcony room but no balcony. Edited March 10 by n6uqqq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not stayed in the Splendor 4J rooms, I just remember being on the front deck and noticing the windows pointing forwards. But I can guess they would be prone to a bit more motion due to being high up on the ship and in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at a couple of these rooms because they are connecting and will hold 4 each. However that location may not work. Thanks for the info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 10 #34 Share Posted March 10 I had a 4J on Splendor for two weeks, B2B Long Beach to Vancouver and back x2. It was okay. I was on deck 7, under the bridge, in particular the bathroom on the bridge as I could hear it flush. With the direction of the waves it felt like we hit every pothole.

EM Under the bridge is interesting..if you don't close (or reopen since the room attendants will close them) the curtains at night, you will get a knock on the door quickly to close them. Sometimes it is your room attendant who got an order to resolve this issue NOW! You can see up close when officers are out on the bridge wing. You may hear chairs being moved on the bridge.

nwcruiselover Posted March 10 #38 Share Posted March 10 Another thing about those 4J cabins is that many of them don’t have couches. So if that’s important to you, try to be sure yours does have a couch. I have had that cabin type 4-5 times, always without a couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
