Rare Tapi Posted February 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Cabins on this ship are cookie cutter. Midship Riviera works just fine for us. Only reason to spend more on a higher de kid if you want to have a shorter elevator ride. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drknmky Posted February 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Pick a deck with accommodations above and below your deck... You'll thank me when you get an undisturbed night's sleep Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califor6 Posted February 27, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) thanks.... I thought that I read the lower decks 'hear' the anchor being lowered early morning upon docking...how 'low' would that be? and the lower decks either feel more or less 'motion'? what accomodation level deck has other facilities (pool, clubs, dining, etc) on them other than cabins? or are all the accomodation decks just cabins?

Califor6 Posted February 27, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted February 27, 2014 how is the 'main' deck on Imagination - location and sounds from anchor? It's only one level above the Riveria - the lowest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlybice Posted February 27, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I like the Empress deck, cause it gives you access to an additional two elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califor6 Posted February 27, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 27, 2014 thanks, Phlybice. we have 2 options for our rooms....midship Main level and mid-front on Empress. I've been told that midship or back is better than forward - more motion for us first timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibble Posted February 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) thanks, Phlybice.we have 2 options for our rooms....midship Main level and mid-front on Empress. I've been told that midship or back is better than forward - more motion for us first timers. On Imagination (and other Fantasy class ships) I tend to gravitate to midship empress. It just seems the most convenient. Edited February 27, 2014 by Bibble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that midship or back is better than forward - more motion for us first timers. Actually, the only time I was forward of the atrium by about 8 cabins was on the Imagination, on the Empress deck, and fared quite well. It's the EXTREME fore and the EXTREME aft that I have felt motion, and the WHOLE SHIP moves when the seas get rocky, which in our experience has been VERY rare.

kmc500 Posted February 27, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What's your recommended/favorite Ship Level on Carnival Imagination's 4-night Mexico cruise? Newbie deciding on ship level....already decided midship, but wandering about the various levels....main, upper, empress - what's differences? Most people disagree with me (some vehemently) but my favorite area by far on the Imagination is the verandah deck mini suites. I love the location, the rooms are great, and the decks, although not large, are enjoyable. Our last two Imagination cruise were a B2B last April, and we enjoyed V1 on the starboard side. Great location and room IMO. Kevin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted February 27, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Seven cruises on the Riveria deck and never heard the anchor. Also been very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted February 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Be careful of cabins around the midship elevators. The elevator shaft/stairwell conducts the smoke from the casino bar downward. The smell is in the hallway for about three cabins in either direction. We prefer aft cabins, closer to the aft elevator, right into the buffet.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaded Lady Posted February 27, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2014 2 cruises on Inspiration (sister ship to Imagination) and we stayed on the Empress level, mid-ship both times. Very convenient to everything, extra elevators as mentioned... But I don't think you'd have noise from engines/anchors etc on either of the floors you mentioned.

Saltz Posted February 27, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2014 We also chose an inside stateroom midship Riviera and was pleased with the room. Barely felt any movement. Bathroom was a tad small but then again it was still bigger than Royal Caribbean's. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
