Porthole Rooms

[gsutiger2]

Any recommendations or advice for level 3 cabins?

 

p.s. Yes, I have read through the threads. Just wanted to get some updated information or advice.

 

Thanks :-)

We are in Moorea now and get on the ship tomorrow. We have a deck 3 porthole cabin and I can comment tomorrow.

[gsutiger2]

wow - great - looking forward to it!

We love deck 3. A mid ship cabin is nice like 318. Nice that your already on the floor for getting off and on, nobody frowns when you just show up, no need to go up to deck 6 to get in line :D

We started out in 324 and spent spent the first night of our cruise there - we were able to upgrade to a balcony the next day. There is lots less motion on deck 3, but I would stay away from 324. There is a pipe in the wall and periodically, you could hear water rushing through it, which was a little disturbing.

Love deck 3! I have stayed there twice and will again next year. Was supposed to this year but was upgraded to a deck 6 balcony cabin. I love the fact that on 3 you get to room quickly boarding and get off easily. Pick any mid ship cabin and you should be happy. You will love the porthole ledge and saving a LOT OF MONEY.

Oh no! I just checked our itinerary and we are in room 324! :(

 

Is it really that bad? :confused:

Interesting about 324.

I will have to add that to 424 which also has the gushing water sound.

It was not too bad - we noticed it, but it did not keep us up. As it is a pipe, I am not surprised that Emdee had the same noise in 424. If, however, there are other cabins available on the deck, I would switch.

We stayed in 324, didn't notice it. Must have been very slight.:)

Any comments on 320?

[gsutiger2]

Many of you stated you were upgraded - was this a purchase upgrade or complimentary upgrade? I'm hoping since I am booking far in advance that we may be offered an upgrade.

[Benita]

It was an upsell. I called the week before the cruise and they wanted more than I was willing to pay for the balcony. I made the same offer while on the ship- there were about 30 empty cabins and they emailed Seattle and took the offer.

On our recent cruise we had cabin 312. Right next to the gangway and elevators. We thought it might be a noisy room with the traffic, but we found quite the opposite. We thought it was a great location and booked the same room for next years cruise from Fiji.

[twin123185]

I have stayed twice on 310 - the other side of the storage from 312 - never had heard any noise! Upgrade? I only got one because I booked a back to back sailing. Still not sure if I will like the balcony cabin better than 310 where I had originally booked. Will know soon enough.

[Tikiintahiti]

310 is good. Very little noise. As the storage room is between the gangway and 310 it has a noise barrier ;)

[twin123185]

Booked that cabin also for the 2014 Repeater cruise. Also something to be said for the amount of money one can save over the years staying on this deck. Especially if one wants to go back every year or two.

I will definitely look into securing 310 or 320. We like to play music and hope to get one with only one neighbor. Thank you everyone for your advice and insight.

I was thinking of going on the repeaters cruise and was thinking room 310 but ......... darn

 

Probably no more cheap rooms anyway which means we won't go :(

[gsutiger2]

bummer :-(

[Wendy The Wanderer]

Deck 4 isn't much more money, and the window and location is pretty nice. It's always our preference.

[twin123185]

Sorry, booked 310 the first day it was available. I doubt the cheaper rooms are sold out, I know at first they sold a lot of rooms but I would think it slowed down pretty quickly.

Wendy, a few hundred bucks for me helps out with other stuff!

Deck 4 was $400 more per person - $800 total for our 2 week cruise. Looking out of a porthole is not quite as nice as a window, but I did not think it worth the extra.

[twin123185]

There you go!

We haven't been on the PG yet, but assume it will be similar to our experience on Windstar, where we really only used the cabin to sleep and shower. $800 will buy us spa treatments and pearls.
