Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

I just received my cabin number 6000 (ugh) for the Dream sailing October 20th, I am so disappointed and dreading it since I got sick on my last Carnival Cruise,:sick::are people still getting upgrades that are booked in these rooms?? :confused3

I was in cabin 6000 back in February. We didn't feel seasick at all, and the room is spacious, but I really didn't like the window and wrote Disney afterwards that it shouldn't be sold as an Ocean view room, because you can't see the ocean from the window.

I posted photos some time ago, but there isn't a link on this thread. I will try to find it and link to it below
 


I'd also like to know if the lifeboats obstruct the view from the mid ship 7th floor verandah's. I just moved to a 4C and I think it is right above a lifeboat. I would think it would not matter when seated but if you are standing is the boat an obstruction to looking down? I really want to watch for dolphins, etc. (FYI this is on the fantasy so I know we are just guestimating but for those who have been in these rooms on the Dream).

We had a 4C on the Dream 7632 and we were right over one of the lifeboats. You are correct that if you are sitting down, the lifeboats do not cause a problem at all. But if you are standing and look down, your view will be of the top of a lifeboat. You can't look straight down at the water (against the side of the ship). I did miss that a bit since we really enjoyed watching the dolphins swim alongside the Wonder in January.

I have pictures on my computer at home. I'll look for them this evening and post them for you.
 
Jetskigirl, if you could post any pics of your verandah that would be SO helpful! (or anyone who has stayed in a mid ship 4C).

In looking at the outside photos of the Dream, our verandah actually looks like it is right between two lifeboats, so it might or might not be totally obstructed when looking down, it is hard to tell. It is 7602 if anyone happens to know. I wonder too if the Fantasy will be exactly the same? I think it will be fine though, I'm sure I'll be able to see plenty of water! I will bring some binoculars too to help look for dolphins :idea: .

Thanks so much!! This will be SO much better than our first cruise w/ an inside cabin. The main issue for me w/ that is not knowing where you were in the mornings when we woke up, and I am not a lady who can roam around before I get some makeup on, so I always felt anxious to hurry up and get ready to go see. Now I'll just walk right out in my pj's! :woohoo:
 


Hard to believe i can't find a single picture of 7690's balcony.:confused3 It's now a 5E and i'm told it's 'extended', just wanting to know how extended it is.;)

if i'm looking @ this picture correctly, 7690 would be directly above the one where the man in the yellow hat is standing...i think lol...regardless doesn't really show deck 7 but the one on 6 (6690) appears to be angled, but large? im probably overthinking this

Realize that the upper decks have larger balconies but the side one i saw on deck 5 was extremely angled imo and i hope to avoid that situation.

I was happy to be able to book it :banana:and the inside next door for my DS's family, just wanted to be able to show them the balcony to get everybody excited as I figure they'll be spending plenty of time in our cabin.

off to dig thru the thread:)
 
10658 looks slightly larger, and the verandah is bigger, and the window/door points out to the side, that should give a better view of the water than the one that looks straight off the back, where you're looking at the ship's wake.

Yay! We have this booked for 2013! Thanks for all of your hard work on this thread!! :thumbsup2
 
I just booked a dream cruise for 9/23/12. I am very excited!!:goodvibes My cabin is 6656 veranda. My question is "When I look over my balcony am I going to be staring directly down on room 5556's veranda"? Wondering if I should request a higher deck.

You will look down on the veranda below, but with many other cabins you look down on the life boats. We loved the 6th deck (even looking down on a life boat) because I tend to have motion issues and the lower deck doesn't have quite as much motion as the decks higher up. It was also really nice to be so close to the kids activities.
 
Here are pictures for cabin #7190. We were gty status and were assigned this cabin. it is on deck 7, very back of ship. It is an HA room and the deck is VERY BIG! I actually forgot to take pics of the bathroom but it is large with roll in shower. The closet rod has pull down bar to access hanging clothes. There is another closet on far side of bunk near deck door.

This room does shake quite a bit when pulling into Port Canaveral and stabilizers are being used.

Beautiful room...great location for views while at sea!

Hi,
we are currently checking for a 2013 Dream cruise and found those new categorized 4E staterrooms with the oversized balconies. Formerly these staterooms were categorie 5E.
Now our question for your specialists:
Categorie 5 rooms are normally smaller then Categorie 4 rooms. Even though now the DCL website shows the 4E rooms with the size of all cat. 4 rooms and also shows the round shower tub - cat 5 should have no round shower tub.

Has anyone been in these rooms (like 5650 or 5546) and can confirm which kind of room layout they have ? Really like cat 4 or are they still like cat 5 - which I assume...

Thanks for any help!
Thorsten
 
I was just in 5546 one and a half weeks ago. I loved this cabin and booked it for our Fantasy cruise in 2013. Now I really can't compare it to the other Cat 4 rooms since I saw none of those. But what I can tell you is that 5546 is not connecting and as a result seems to have much more storage room and our previous cruises inside connecting cabin. The 4E category is much like the cat 5 and 6 categories in the classic ships. (Except somewhat narrower.) There is not small area near the glass door with a chair. The cabin ends at the end of the couch. The extended verandah is worth it's weight in gold! 5546 is on the Starboard side which is where they shoot the fireworks off of. As a result we had a private viewing of the show from our verandah that because of the extension was all the better seen. I invited friends to our room and fit 14 people comfortably in that space. I highly recommend it. As far as the tub goes, it is the Standard square tub. One thing I'd like to add about that, the consensus was, among those I cruised with, that the square tub was better than the round. Another thing I'd like to add about the verandah in 5546. Because of the design of the ship the forward aspect of the verandah is curved as is the aft aspect of 5544 slightly decreasing the privacy of those areas. (i.e. one can see into ones neighbors verandah) At first I thought this would bother me but I quickly realized that everyone above us can see into the extension so the sensation of privacy was an illusion anyway. But this design feature does appear to cut into the size slightly of the extended verandahs. Maybe making my aft neighbors's verandah (5548) slightly more desirable. (although I never heard or seen them on the verandah which makes me think that they probably wasted their money!) I could be wrong on the desirability of the verandah because it appeared that my verandah may have been slightly wider than 5548's. I couldn't tell for sure unless I was on one of the upper deck verandah's looking down which I never had a chance to do.

Just my $.02
