7A Obstructed Cabins on Spirit Class

StanfordsGirl · December 6, 2009

The 7A balcony cabins on Deck 5 are a good deal if you don't care about the perfect view. You can see out perfectly but you can't see down to the water. The best cabins are 5236 and 5238 because they have the extra long balconies and they are right by the elevators. Also the lifeboats in the aft section are shorter than the ones forward. And the 3 forward lifeboats are the ones with the bubble top and take away most of your view out. :biggrin:

We've got a cabin in this catagory...our cabin is 5173 mid ship and I did not care about the view...just love the extra room that the baconly gives you. :cool2:

I agree with you, Bill. I always check to see if there are any of these cabins available when I book the Spirit class. I love my balcony and if I can get one for cheaper, it's more money that I can spend in the ports or casino. :thumbup:

I don't know if I toldyou this or not... I went through Cruise Compete.com to book ths cruise after pricing it at Carnival, Costco, Expedia, etc. I got 5 quotes from different agents. The Cost from Carnival with taxes was $1250 for the two of us...one of the quotes from Cruise Compete.com was $100 LESS than Carnival!!! I was shocked.... booked it and that pays for an activity ashore on one of our stops. You may want to check with them the next time you book your next cruise! :cool2:

I have a great TA and he always gets me the cheapest price but if something happens to him, I'll check our Cruise Compete. :thumbup:

I have just booked my family's first cruise on the Legend in a 7A cabin - 5191. I initially booked this cabin because on the deck plans it appears to have a lifeboat occupying only half of the balcony. But now I am worried because of the wall at the side and having been told that the deck plan probably isn't correct. Has anyone been in this cabin, or 5190, in any of the Spirit class ships? Would I be better off with a cabin up further so that we could see towards the back of the ship and not have the wall in the way? We need a cabin for 4 so the extra long balconies won't work for us.
