saintsfanmd Posted February 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just looking for the usual "anybody ever stayed in this cabin" type of info. It's a category 7A, but it's over a lifeboat without a cover. Any info greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliseas Posted February 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sorry, not sure if this is the same category as you are asking about, but in November it was a cat. 7A - cabin 5236 on the Pride. It was obstructed towards the aft (where the smaller lifeboats are). The lifeboats came to the top of the railing and that was it. You could see out no problem, but looking down was obstructed.

saintsfanmd Posted February 20, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks. Yes...we have a cat 7A. I'm hoping that in 5179 the lifeboats come up to the bottom of the railing. I guess we'll see when we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see when we get there. We've got cabin 5179 on the Pride later on this year. Would you mind taking and posting pics of the view fr the balcony of your cabin on your July 17th cruise? I'd greatly appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkilrainrn Posted June 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for posting the pictures. I also have been looking at a Cat 7A cabin and wondered how obstructed the view was. This is very helpful. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Astromaid Posted July 7, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2009 You said you are going on a January cruise, which one? I just booked the Jan 24th cruise and I also selected an obstructed balcony, it was either 5184 or 5186. I had a post earlier asking a question about balconies on the Pride, and a person supplied a link to look at the cabins. There were not any pictures, but what it did say is which cabins are obstructed lifeboats and which ones are obstructed tenders. The tenders obstruct more of the balcony than the lifeboats.

Julie We're booked for the 17th. Yes, I noticed that the posts indicated that you want to be towards the back (lifeboats as opposed to tenders) if you have a cat 7a.

tkilrainrn Posted July 19, 2009 #15 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thank you so much. The pictures are very helpful! I just booked three cabins on that level for October 2010. I was afraid that the balcony was more obstructed than it really is. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAE Posted October 4, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We have been on the Pride 6 times, 7 is this Sunday. We have stayed in 7A staterooms on all but one cruise and twice in stateroom 5177 which is next door to 5179. We have no problem with the view from the stateroom. You cannot see directly down but you can look out with no problem. The floors above can't look directly down either because of the lifeboats. In my opinion the only staterooms I would try to stay away from are the staterooms by the first three lifeboats on each side of the ship because they are larger than the remaining lifeboats and may block your view of the horizon. But if they were the only staterooms left I would stay in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
