desiray Posted March 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I need help. I've been on a few cruises before but not many. I have an option to purchase tickets on Carnival Destiny on the upper deck in the very front of the boat. This would give me a balcony with a limited view. Any suggestions on if this is a good idea or not? thanks for your quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 5, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Why would being up front limit your view? Unless you are in the VERY front in a 4J, or on the Veranda deck with the bridge wings sticking out, I would think your view would be the same as any other balcony.

desiray Posted March 5, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have a feeling the room is directly underneath the bridge. I'm more worried about the motion of the boat. Is being up front that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted March 5, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If the water's rough you will likely feel some movement. I've been forward and aft on various ships, and the movement doesn't really bother me. If motion bothers you, you are better off mid-ship and on a lower deck. Also, if you're a light sleeper, don't be over the theater or clubs. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 5, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Upper deck is deck 6, Bridge is on Veranda deck, 8. I had a 4G (now 4J) on Carnival Splendor, the 'obstructed view' cabins that face forward, and the motion I felt was as if we hit every pothole in the road...when seas were a bit rough. Otherwise, no motion. It was a great cabin, right under the bridge. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted March 5, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I love being at the front of the ship. One of our best cruises was in the most forward inside cabin on the Aloha Deck of the Sun Princess. We hit rough seas and could feel the motion. I loved it. It wasn't quite as good as our Maasdam cruise, where I ship encountered gale force 10 winds and seas. That's one where waves were almost reaching the Promenade Deck and the wind was so strong that the ship was tilted 12 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
