littledylansmom Posted November 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2006 :confused: Can anyone tell me if cabins VF5134 & VF5136 are at a good location? Are the lifeboats below us going to block our view or will anything block our view? Also, for the 2/28/07 Sailing has anyone ever sailed out of NY at this time? Just want to make sure this is not a bad idea...Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannynurse Posted November 10, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If I remember correctly the VF cabins have the steel instead of the plexiglass balcony rails which means that your view while sitting is blocked. Life boats/tenders below should not block your view seaward. GN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are only on deck 4 forward, grannynurse. 5134 and 5136 I believe are just aft of the most aft tender, judging by the "bend". OP: see this thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=424752 and in particular my post #9 with a picture. It appears to me that 5134/36 are over a white davit of some sort. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinknock50 Posted November 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2006 John, I have been studying my pictures and the lifboats/tenders appear be slightly ahead of these cabins. It appears the very worst case would be seeing them as you look forward, but looking straight out or aft there shouldn't be anything in the way. There appears to be some kind of steel rods sticking up but atleast no lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you look at the picture in the thread that I cited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted November 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2006 There's actually TWO davits there! A good cabin location! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinknock50 Posted November 11, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I guess we are actually saying the same thing.:) I have a picture I took that shows it even better but I don't know how to post it. I use it for my desktop because it shows my balcony on the upcoming Oosterdam cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
