Wow! What room number is that?
Yeah I’d like to know that too. Problem is now a lot of us that read this forum will want that room.
There is a handful of aft extended verandah rooms on Dream/Fantasy class, on decks 6-7-8-9-10, and they are very clearly visible on deck plans. They fall into category 5E, which is rather popular and tends to get booked up quickly during opening days, so it ends up being offered only as GTY. And with GTY, there is always a possibility of an upgrade to a different category, which may land you in a stateroom with a standard verandah. Another factor is, the largest corner verandahs are designated as accessible rooms, and therefore go into a separate pool. If no one claims these, they go to the folks with 5E GTY, which makes 5E GTY such a unique gamble.
Yes, 5552 is a very unique room in the line of extended verandah 4E which may become available to 4E GTY - but that one usually gets picked up by someone with accessibility requirements early on.
8682 on the Fantasy. The corner rooms have big verandahs. I never knew, the women at the booking desk on the wonder booked it for us and told us we would love it, and we did.
On Dream and Fantasy, deck 5 is wider than the rest of the superstructure above it, so mid-ship verandahs "stick out". Those are classified as category 4E. Aft verandahs are longer as well, and those rooms usually get some complaints about vibration / smell / noise / soot from the ship's exhaust.
