krijkee Posted December 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Where should I book. Deck 11 is below the pool and spa. Should I try and get below the spa? Any advice on the best location? Also which side of the ship - does it matter? Many thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scchasgal Posted December 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Where should I book. Deck 11 is below the pool and spa. Should I try and get below the spa? Any advice on the best location? Also which side of the ship - does it matter? Many thanks!! We have been on other ships below the pool and the scraping of deck chair in the night drove us nuts. We are booked in an AF on the Pearl (sister ship same layout) and booked aft starboard with just the seating for the buffet area above us. The seating area is carpeting so we shouldn't have the scraping noise. Stay away from below the fitness center as many drop weights early in the morning :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocklandCruiser Posted December 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2009 We have been on the Gem twice (same layout as Jewel) and were in AF's under the library/card room. It was extremely quiet! Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krijkee Posted December 28, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I ended up under the spa - cabin 11004...maybe I should move to be under the library??

Which sailing are you booked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to check since you are travelling with little ones it can get rough up front. When the ship goes up the crash coming down in brutal sometimes in rough seas. I think the winter seems to have rougher seas (or summer hurricane season) so April sounds like you will be okay. Just wanted to give you the heads up from experience.

If you're prone to getting motion sickness, I think you're going to be miserable no matter what cabin you have in rough seas. In my world, that equates to picking the cabin you want, and whatever happens, happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krijkee Posted December 28, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks, I appreciate the help! I might try and move a little further back tomorrow, just to be safe. Mid ship would put us under the pool, so we need to be wither further forward or further back a little I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid ship would put us under the pool, so we need to be wither further forward or further back a little I believe. That's why we ended up booking where we are cause pool, fitness center or too far forward, we ended up with 11100 and 11106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyhanek Posted December 28, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 28, 2009 A couple of years in a row I had the mini suite cabins under the buffet and then under Mama's restaurant. I can't recommend them. It was very noisy at night as people walked above on the tile floors. I felt like someone was walking in stilettos above us. It kept my whole family awake and the family in the next cabin over as well. I know this because we chatted about it across the balconies. I don't know what to tell you. If there is a hard surface above you on deck 11 you probably will hear a good bit of noise in the wee hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
