Forward E Cabins (Restricted View)?

[ItsADryHumor]

DH and I are planning to take a cruise on the Ecstasy in June. We cruised once before and had the aft wake-facing rooms (hope that makes sense) and DH wants that one again. However, to get a 5A room is 100 bucks less pp...would one of the E class porthole rooms be a bad thing? What is a con about a forward room? We loved being in the E cabin we were in last time...right up back stairs to the Lido. :p

We had E1 (5a) for the first leg of our B2B on Inspiration last year. We really liked the room. We got upgraded for free and took it, though we usually cruise in interior rooms. I really like the 5a setup. I enjoy the darkness of an interior for sleeping in, and the hatches on the portholes can be closed to make it like and interior. Then when they are open you get a pretty decsnt view for the money.

 

The only big con would be the motion. Since they are always in the front of the ship, the felt motion can be pretty bad in rough seas. We sailed through Hurricane Gustav, and it was like a roller coaster ride in that cabin. Big ups, and big downs. I had to leave and go to the middle of the ship to settle myself. In smooth seas, it was very nice though.

 

Here are some pics of the cabin:

Thanks, Grady! I think this kind of seals the deal for me...that room. I love the dark of an interior room (had one on my first cruise aboard the Sensation).

well, it was kind of a short notice cruise.....

Dwight has been in radiation treatments for cancer, and they will be done on March 19th. I thought we needed a good Getaway after all he has been thru!

I wanted to pay cash, and try to leave the ole credit card alone, so i filed my taxes, and took that money to buy the tickets!

I figued we could endure an interior, because he quit smoking...

I insisted on a balcony when he was smoking.

 

I know i will miss the balcony....but i think i will be ok!!

If i dont like it, i will know better next time, right? LOL
