amartin042 Posted April 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I need some help! We are currently booked in 9660 aft, but I noticed that 7172 came open today. Can anyone tell me about this room? In a picture that I have seen it looks like this is one of the corner aft's that everyone is always trying to get. But when I look on the deck plans it looks like there is something beside that room that cuts off the balcony. Has anyone stayed in this room that can help me? I put the room on hold so that I could make a decision. Thanks Anna:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted April 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2008 7172 does wrap to a certain degree. I had its upstairs neighbor 8168 on my last cruise and it has quite a wrap to it. I'm told that 7172 is just a tad smaller. I just checked and 8186 looks the same way on the deck plan - like it just goes straight out and doesn't open up to the side at all. It does. I'll see if I can find a picture. Here's a link: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=14270265#post14270265 Wish I was a computer guru and knew how to post the actual picture!

JJ2sail Posted April 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I would not recommend 7172, the deck 7 aft cabins are not as deep, especially on the corners. barely enough room for a lounger. Deck 9 balconies are much deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted April 16, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2008 It's not as deep, but it is wider. I'm betting that the two have about the same number of square feet. Someone wiser than I will hopefully come along and let you know for sure. I'm a diehard corner lover, so I am no doubt prejudiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amartin042 Posted April 16, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Jewel 7172 Thanks, I am going to keep 9660 and hope that one of the other corner aft's on the upper decks open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted April 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We had 9260 right next door to your and the balcony is amazing about 10x14 Unless you luck out with 9256 or 8168 I would keep 9660 because the way the ship bow in the middle of the aft they are like the biggest balconies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sailing are you on? I just noticed that 9258 opened up on our cruise on 08/09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not on that sailing.. Strange.. after my post, 9258 "disappeared" from the RCL website for quite a while, but "reappeared" again today :confused: Think I'll stick with 7172 coz it's a corner & check RCL website everyday hoping the corners on Deck 8 or 9 will open up just like this 9258 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
