We have booked a cruise on the Allure - so excited! We selected a D4 balcony cabin on deck 9. I am trying to figure out whether it has the bed by the closet or the balcony, and have heard conflicting info. Some people say to find the nearest connecting cabin, take the right hand room, and then alternate balcony, closet, balcony, closet from there. Others say that ALL triple and quad cabins have beds by the closet. According to method 1 we have booked a 'bed by the closet' room, and would love to have the bed by the balcony. According to #2, there's no point, since they're all the same. Would love to hear from anyone who has booked this category.
Also, I have seen photos with the sofa bed open for the night, and it appears to almost fully block the balcony doors. True, or is there room to maneuver past and go out on the balcony? I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and like to go out and peek at the ocean, but don't want to squeeze past DD sleeping in the sofa bed and possibly wake her up.
If the bed is by the closet, how much room is there between the bed and the closet? DH is 6'4" and want to make sure he has room.
We have only ever sailed on DCL, so are used to larger staterooms.
Thanks!
