afcj1 Posted January 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I was just on the Dream and was fortunate enough to be in a suite. My next trip on the Dream will be solo and I'll be in a 1A:eek::( I chose one of the rooms on the Main Deck with 2 port holes, but was wondering if I should stick with the light or get a room on a higher deck, Panorama or Vista are open. I've never been in an inside, which is why I chose the low deck, with the port holes. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobster71 Posted January 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would pick an inside middle of the ship. Less movement and less noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2010 We have done both, and Im torn too. We really liked the one midship deck 6 on Conquest, no windows, it was so convenient compared to forward Main deck where the port holes are. We are trying deck 7 next time. If its like Conquest class, you will have two twins on the higher midship locations (not the forward ones on deck 6). So, you might wind up with a king bed, not sure on the Dream. We liked being able to walk by after dinner on the way to the theater for a pit stop without going out of our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted January 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Take the port holes. I like the motion and you'll get used to the thrusters when pulling into port or maybe not. The ones on higher decks tend to be next to launderettes or other less desirable areas or are modified cabins, which you might like. You should cruise more and try all of them and then you'll know what works best for you. No two people are the same and even one person might flip flop between the choices.

firefly333 Posted January 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I was next to the laundry mat and never once heard noise from it. Was a great location. I think the trusters/azipods are in the back right?? The anchors in the front make noise. I could be wrong of course. As I said I like both. I loved the port hole cabin, very roomy lay out, but the other was sure convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few steps to atrium elevators and just as close to the balcony overlooking Lido & the big screen. Hardly any movement & we had some very rough days. If you are concerned about an insde room , no window or porthole, put the tv on the channel showing a view from the webcam - just as good as a window. A friend had 1A cabin 2367 & was very happy with it. The cabins were the same with 2 exceptions. The handicapped cabin had a much larger shower area with a fold down stool & grab bars. The regular 1A had more closet space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted January 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think the trusters/azipods are in the back right?? The anchors in the front make noise. Dream has thrusters but no azipods. Azipods are built by the Finnish builder, not Fincantieri in Italy. Fincantieri builds propeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted January 10, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Take the port holes. I like the motion and you'll get used to the thrusters when pulling into port or maybe not. The ones on higher decks tend to be next to launderettes or other less desirable areas or are modified cabins, which you might like. I agree with the port hole suggestion. I was in 2217 recently, and will be in that same cabin again next month. Later this year will swap over to 2216 (the mirror image cabin). Really enjoyed my port hole cabin on this ship. :) . . 1A cabin 2217 (Main Deck) on Carnival Dream . . . I hope that helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted January 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Oh, and I would avoid 1332 on Riviera Deck, unless it's the only one left (and even then, I might not book it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas52 Posted January 10, 2010 #12 Share Posted January 10, 2010 do any of the other 1a rooms near this room have same beds. most have bunk beds dont they instead of king? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few on conquest class or higher have bunk beds actually. First two decks have one twin and one convertible sofa I am sure on Conquest. On mid deck 6, 7 and 8, those are all twin beds that push together on Conquest. The two forward on deck 6 I dont know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afcj1 Posted January 10, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks for all of your views. I've got 2216 right now, but kept wondering about being higher up and mid-ship. Don - thanks for the pics. I think I'l stick with the port holes:) Heck, I'll be on the Dream and CAN'T go wrong;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler353 Posted January 10, 2010 #16 Share Posted January 10, 2010 My first pick would be the 1A Porthole. I have never been disapointed in any of the 5 that I have stayed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGP1111 Posted January 10, 2010 #19 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Why? Smallest of the 1A cabins on this ship, and the layout was kinda odd. Checking on that particular cabin became a stupid compulsion of mine even before my cruise on Carnival Dream, since it looks so strange on the printed deck plans. At embarkation I ran to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 10, 2010 #20 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Iv been in 2211, and we loved the layout... but I like it and the upper decks. We have a hard time deciding. I like seeing out and my sister likes being near a elevator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
