NolaZach Posted July 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We got a cabin on the lido, a balcony. It's 10287 and is three cabins away from the doors to the pool area. I was wondering how the experience was in this area. The last two cruises were on a smaller ship and lower down (the highest being a window room on the emperess deck) I'm still many months away, but looking forward to this cruise. I vacay a lot, but don't cruise as much as is average around here, so it's a big deal to us. We wanted to be close to the pool and slides for the kids, as well as camp carnival. I was torn between the cove and the lido balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moran4carnival Posted July 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) We booked for the first time a balcony cabin on the lido deck on the breeze. From what I have read here on cruise critic and heard from my PVP, this is a great location, close to the action, less foot traffic and they say its quiet. We are very excited to try it. We usually book a cabin on deck 8, but trying something new this time around. Edited July 11, 2014 by moran4carnival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted July 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not on the Dream but I have stayed in a Lido cabin on Breeze. It was the perfect location for us. We could take a quick walk to the buffet in the morning to get coffee, were close to our room if we needed to run and get something while hanging out by the pool or slides and were able to let the older kids have more freedom on the activity decks while the adults napped or sat on the quiet balcony.

gregg204 Posted July 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We did last month. I'd keep it. Very convenient location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted July 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2014 With kids I'd definitely do it. We stayed on the liberty lido and it was so nice being close to the action. If it was just DH and I I'd probably pick a cove on deck 2. Just loved being close to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof4boys Posted July 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My two adult sons stayed on the Lido deck room 10255 (inside) two weeks ago. They loved the convenience of being up there and did not have trouble with noise at all. Have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemoon12 Posted July 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We are on the Dream in 9 days on Lido deck, room 10212. First time ever to stay on the Lido deck. I will come back and report on how we liked, no loved, the Lido! Of course, not anywhere as nice as I am sure wrigley80 will do! Love your reviews!!

NolaZach Posted July 11, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I like the location. I almost got a spa balcony, but figured the kids may not always be super quiet and didn't want to bother anyone on the spa levels. I also didn't want to be near the elevator as that constant chime got to me last cruise. lol I hope it's a good spot. I googled it and saw there is a review on Youtube of our very cabin.

kmarie10531 Posted July 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2014 It was wonderful I would do it again I can't remember our cabin number but we were a few doors down from the lido deck and it wasn't noisy at all someone once told me " you will get sick of cruising " I just smiled and said " Only when I'm dead " 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefuninthesun Posted July 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Not the Dream, but we were on the Lido deck aboard Freedom, located just 5 doors in. We loved it! It was so convenient! We never heard any pool, etc. noise. Edited July 11, 2014 by Lovefuninthesun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfjock27 Posted July 11, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We stayed in a balcony on the Lido on the Breeze, 4-5 cabins from the main pool doors. LOVED IT! It was surprisingly quiet and very close to a lot of amenities. You'll enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO fighting for an elevator in the mornings when you want breakfast or late at night when you want pizza or icecream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was torn between the cove and the lido balcony. We were on Lido Deck on Dream 10274, and Breeze 10277, and Magic 10277. This is a fantastic area. We never heard noise from outside either on our balconies or in the hallway. We were nice and close to the pool and buffet. When you walk out your cabin, turn left, then walk until you hit a wall. (Hopefully not literally. ;)) There will be a door on your right. Go through it. Next time, walk out your cabin, turn right, then walk until you hit numbered doors. (Again, figuratively.:D) Turn right until you see a door with a small round window. Go through that door, then go through the next door. Enjoy!

Vmalcolm Posted July 11, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We were in that exact cabin last May. I loved it! There is a door separating it from the lobby area at the end by the doorway to go outside so you are at the end of the hallway so no noise. Just a few steps to get outside and a few more to get morning coffee. We could hear the music when we were on our balcony, but it was not loud at all.

edinboro cruiser Posted July 11, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Stayed in that cabin on our Halloween cruise in 2012. Love the location. Three cruise since and one booked all cabins are on lido deck. I wouldn't give it up for a suite because we live the location Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fick293 Posted July 11, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We stayed in 10264 on the Dream in August 2013. We loved the location being so close to all the action. We had a balcony and did not hear any noise from lido or above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
