Cabin E110 on Grand - opinions?

[phaelon56]

Finally received our cabin assignment for the CWOcct 12 sailing of the Grand. We were given FF GUAR (obstructed view outside cabin) and have now received our actual cabin assignment. It's on the Emerald deck about 3 or four cabins back from the first cabin on the bow end (we are on the port side of the ship).

I can't quite figure out the placement in this sense..... it's evidently not an "obstructed view" cabin but it appears that the actual pedestrian traffic on the Promenade deck may go directly by our cabin door and window. Is this correct and if so, it it likely to be much of an annoyance? I don't anticipate spending much time in the cabin during the day but late evening and nightime I prefer that we not be just off a major pedestrain thoroughfare. Do any of you know the ship well enough to advise?

E110 is along the upper promenade, which is the little section of the promenade that wraps around the bow of the ship. It is accessed from the little curved stairway that comes up from the Promenade Deck just aft of where your cabin is. It does put you where people will be walking right by your cabin window... and there will be a fair amount of people up there both walking by as well as hanging out along the rail outside your cabin. I think at night they close off that section, but I'm not sure what time they do it, and I've seen people sneak up there occasionally because it's just a rope across the stairway. People can't see in your cabin during the day because the glass is reflective, but if the lights are on inside they can see in...so you may need to be vigilant with your drapes.

Thanks DJA.... that's exactly the info I was looking for. I have no problem being vigilant with the drapes and as long as there's no flood of folks wandering through at night the location works for me.
