The 9A's sometimes do not have a couch. The balcony on the 8G is deeper however the over hang is narrow and during the day there is very little shade and the balcony can be very hot. The the mornings and evenings are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briandama Posted February 12, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thank You very much......The reason i ask is because somewhere on the cruise critic boards i believe i read that the ones on the ends do have them but the ones in the middle do not....Any thoughts on that?

Our daughter and family was in the 8G right beside our 9A so I guess that would make it the end one and they also had a couch which pulled out to a bed for our grandaughter.

We had cabin 7448 on the Conquest and didn't have a sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted February 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We had 8430, on the Triumph last time. Couch, and the balcony was 1/3 wider than most!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KY_Bride09 Posted February 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am booked in an 8G (cabin 8454) on the March 28th sailing of the Glory. From what I have understood, the cabins in the middle have a couch, but the 2 8G cabins on the end next to the 9A wraps only have a table and 2 chairs. Correct me if I am wrong though.

robtx100 Posted February 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We also had 7448 and there was no sofa. In a previous thread, it was stated that because the 2 center cabins on each aft deck are slightly narrower, there isn't room for a sofa. Honestly, it wasn't that big a deal. The time we spent in the cabin was mostly spent on the balcony where there were two chairs with ottoman. We have 6485 in a few days, so it supposedly has a sofa, so I'll have something to compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunu Posted March 12, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This is an example of Carnival's website falling short. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to move your mouse over an individual cabin and have its features shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtx100 Posted March 12, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We have 7448 on the freedom. Did u like the aft cabin room? We just got back on Sunday and had 6485 this time. I liked it better because it just seemed more convenient to everything. We only heard noise from downstairs a couple of times during the art auction, but never during the night.

cruisetexas Posted March 12, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We just got off the Freedom on Sunday....cabin 7444. The cabin next to ours, next to the wrap, had the two chairs. We were the next one over and had a couch. I believe the one on each end, next to the wrap have the chair and no couch. LOVE the aft. Wouldn't want any other.

Seems from thread each ship varies on sofa, couch or chairs in aft cabins. Never tried aft cabin, but changed to aft on upcoming cruise. Have always stayed on lido deck.

molme Posted March 12, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We had 6485 on the Glory in Jan and we had a coach. It is the first aft balcony next to the 9A wrap balcony. Our balcony was big enough for two chairs, a table and a lounge chair. Nice size balcony. It was cool on our sailing so the hot sun didn't bother us, but I would imagine it could get terribly hot back there in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDPadreFan Posted March 12, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Take a look at this link and look up your cabin #. If it is accurate, you will know exactly what you will have. http://www.bookccl.com/irman/bookccl/the_fleet/glory/glory.htm Look under stateroom descriptions and select your deck.

Le Cruiser Posted March 13, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 13, 2009 We're sailing on the Valor, another Conquest class ship, in 10 days and we have 7442. Someone was nice enough to show us photos of the cabin and there's no couch, instead a small round table with two bistro-style chairs. It does have the extended balcony, as all the aft 8G's have. We've been told (haven't had an aft cabin yet, just "side" balconies) that there's not a lot of wind to deal with, and the view is spectacular. We're looking forward to it!

mom23guys Posted March 13, 2009 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2009 SDpadrefan, Is there such a link for other ships in the fleet. I'd like the triumph and the Dream. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlover5 Posted March 13, 2009 #20 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Speaking of Carnival's website......I am booked on the Dream. When I go in to do a mock booking to check price, (we are in a 9A wrap)....well the color chart of the cabins are different from the categories listed. My cabin is a turquoise color, and 9A are suppose to be a dark green????? Is it just a mix up on their site???? Not sure what cabin category to click on. My confirmation from TA says 9A and right cabin #. I read somewhere that they were changing their categories....Have they??? Thank You!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles7171 Posted March 13, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I just got off the Destiny and had an 8g room (8339). It had a couch and was a fantistic room. Great view!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCDan Posted March 14, 2009 #23 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Are the 8G balconies mostly covered? We are going on the Liberty and looking at one of the 8G's on level 7 and want to make sure at least part of the balcony is covered up. Thanks!

azkcruizers Posted March 14, 2009 #24 Share Posted March 14, 2009 When I look at the photos on carnivals website of the Dream as it is being built the back decks look staggered, so the balconies on deck 7 look like they may not have much shade at all. Take a look for yourself and see what you think. I am on deck 9 which is the very top deck of balconies.......then count down to 7. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles7171 Posted March 15, 2009 #25 Share Posted March 15, 2009 We didn't take too many pictures of the room but I assure you, it's perfect. The only issue we encountered was the room sterward Don. He was very nice, but didn't get to our room till late afternoon or early evening. He should have cleaned room in the morning and then provided turn down service at night. He ended up coming just once at about 8:00pm and cleaning and doing turn down service all in one. Otherwise, enjoy the balcony. You have the most beautiful view off your balcony. We order room service for breakfast everyday and enjoyed coffee and a bagel on the balcony every morning. Heavenly!!! Have a wonderful trip!!! If I find a pic, I'll post it...
