Promenade cabin

[jojo711]

I just found out we will be getting a promenade cabin on our next cruise. When I looked at the deck plan, the room does not seem to be overlooking the promenade area. The ship is Explorer on RCL. Anyone have any info?

welcome to cruisereviews chat-room. I am sure someone here will be able to help you, but you will have to give more information such as a cabin number.

the cabin number is 7357 on the Explorer. thanks

I believe you are right. It does not seem to be on the promanade. However, 7307 looks to be there. Are you sure that is the correct cabin number? I would call your TA to verify.

7357 is NOT a promenade cabin. Check your cabin number again.

Found out this is not a promenade cabin. The cabin is toward the back of the ship. Anyone have any issues or problems with this location? Appreciate any info.

jojo,
You will find out that an inside cabin is not very big but enough space for two. The only problem that you may find is that it will be hard to tell time. It is always dark in the cabin when the lights are off. With an ocean view, you have the light of the day shinning through the porthole. With a promanade cabin, there is a bay window that allows light from the promanade to shine through. I have booked a promanade cabin on the Freedom of the Seas for Sept. and only pay $50 dollars extra. This will be my first promanade cabin, so I cannot speak from experience. It is my understanding that the light in the promanade changes to simulate the time of the day, so it may give you a little better idea of time. with a cabin in the promanade, you can watch the parades from your room. For a little extra, I think it may be worth it.
