What is your deck preference for cabin location?

[MamaToMany]

We are booked on the upcoming 10/13 Bliss sailing and have been assigned a midship balcony on Deck 11. (We booked a GTY) It seems like a nice location, and we like that it’s sandwiched between decks of cabins. After doing some reading, I started to get a little jealous of folks being assigned rooms that are higher up and closer to the Observation Lounge and pool deck. I’m thinking we might be much happier on 11 though, especially since we are hoping to use the stairs as much as possible on this sailing. It seems to sort of split the difference between public areas nicely.

 

I’m wondering- what is YOUR preference for cabin location? Why?

Quiet at night is my only criterion. That's why we book midship balconies with cabins above and below and will never bid on an upgrade. I couldn't appreciate a suite if it meant listening to ugly music or deck chairs scraping at quiet moments.

The deck preference for me depends on the ship. I like to be slightly higher on the ship. I also prefer forward. I know most prefer mid/aft. I also won't ever travel again without at least an OV. My next is a Jr. Suite w/balcony (deck 11/14) and then Balcony in Jan 2020 (deck 16/19).

We like a mid to mid-aft balcony on a somewhat higher deck near the elevators. But now we are addicted to spa cabins, so that limits our choice. We love the spas on NCL Away class and Celebrity Solstice class. We still try to be near the elevator, though.

I like to be able to hop down one or two flights of stairs to the core Atrium area, with its activities and restaurants. Ship is also a little more stable lower down. Never had a problem with noise in over a dozen cruises.

We prefer midship balcony cabins which are on decks between other cabins. Why? because we want quiet nights and smooth sailing.

On the mega ships midship deck ten to be close to the bars/waterfront but in between cabins.

Inside cabins or Studios (when possible) slightly forward sandwiched between other passenger decks.

Middle of the ship in a balcony or higher, never an inside, I would get claustrophobic

We on the Bliss September 22nd and we have 11102 front of ship.Look like it will be nice viewing from window. I'm just praying it quite. I've had cabin that you can hear people in the next cabin,I think that one was adjoining cabins.No sleep at night!! Anyone ever stayed in these cabins?

We were on the Bliss on Deck 15 near the Observation Lounge. That was the BEST! Quick snack. Private bar.

I feel exactly the same way 👍

Higher deck that has cabins on the deck above and below, Cabins near the elevators please.

Mid ship .As low as possible OV cabin.

Like most of you , prefer an upper deck balcony mid-ship cabin sandwiched between two cabin decks

BUT

one cruise we got a lower deck OV on the Carnival Glory . There was extreme fog for much of the cruise with the ship's foghorn going all night . It destroyed the sleep of those on the upper decks . Not us ! We barely heard it at all from our cabin . :D

I’m so happy to read this! We just booked deck 15 near the observation lounge for Alaska next year 😃

My favorite is right by the elevator/stairs, as close to the buffet with a deck of cabins above and below me. I'm always popping in for water and coffee.

Been on many many cruises. Always do 9's by an elevator up to a buffet
