newlife_2010 Posted December 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) My original room was interior upper and lower 1a on the rivera on the Paradise January 10th sailing. I got the call this morning to upgrade. For $40 (solo) i am now on the empress deck with a ocean view and i can convert to a king bed. Not to me mention the bar is literally across the hall from my room lol. I have read reviews about the noise level but i dont plan on sleeping anyway lol. What a great Christmas present. Edit: I have been 'upsold' Edited December 24, 2014 by newlife_2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCHARGE Posted December 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Enjoy your Oceanview!! $40 extra is not bad at all for a Solo traveler. Some of my most memorable trips were done as a solo cruiser. I met so many nice people, and just had a fantastic time. Do what you want, when you want. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife_2010 Posted December 24, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted December 24, 2014 There are no bars on the Empress deck on the Paradise. It must be the egg nog but i see a bar in the atrium on empress deck on the carnival site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you want, when you want. :D I definitely will enjoy the view from the room. It will be nice to actually have sunlight. I have only stayed on the rivera deck my past 2 cruises which were also both solo. I have met some of the nicest people on carnival. It's nice to join the crowd when i choose but then retreat to myself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQW Posted December 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Sounds wonderful! We just had E64 on the Imagination and while we did hear noise from the atrium/bar area, it wasn't enough to affect our sleep or anything. Terrific to be in such a central location... enjoy!

I am only a few doors down - E76. I am so excited. It looks like an amazing location to have. I am really looking forward to the ocean view.

GROUCHPUSS Posted December 25, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I am sure that is true. No worries its a cruise. I can find a bar on another level. There is a bar in the Atrium on deck 7.

atlanta_living Posted December 26, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Newlife, Congrats on your upgrade and your terrific attitude!! It's ironic how some people try to pick apart & over analyze every word, and end up being incorrect themselves!! You seem to be an optimistic person who sees the positive side of things which is refreshing! And from my experience, I loved having a room on Empress near the Atrium and being centrally located. And sailing solo was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I am sure you will enjoy yourself to the fullest! Happy Travels!

Helen I wish there was a like button, thank you Helen and other posters :) i was a little taken back by some of the initial comments but I am beyond and excited about my new room. I have only been on the rivera desk in 1a rooms on previous cruises so this is a major upgrade for me. It will be nice to be in the action. Thank you for the beautiful comments.
