That is good to know. Our onboard consultant told us that wasn’t true but I honestly trust people more who have actually traveled in those staterooms. Thanks much. I think I’ll continue to stay on a higher deck. So far once on deck 6 and twice on 4. All the comments about Meclizine are encouraging. I’ve had success with it but never tried in rough seas. Usually I need it in moderately choppy seas. Maybe it’s time to be a bit more adventurous in my cruise choices. Thanks again to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Azulann Posted February 25, 2023 #31 Share Posted February 25, 2023 We are booked in 3065(DV6) for our cruise in June on Viking Jupiter. The cruise is sold out! I am just so happy to have a cruise to look forward to post COVID protocol and all the hoops I had to jump through for those cruises in 2021. 🎉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on decks 4 and 5 too but 3 is so convenient! That onboard consultant needs to go to that cabin 3055/57 when the band is playing in Torshavn. We were in 3055 for almost a month on our WC...eventually we were moved and those in 3057 as well. Edited February 26, 2023 by deec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburysmom Posted October 27, 2023 #34 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'm booked in cabin 3026 and just noticed it is over the restrooms by the theatre on Deck 2. Has anyone stayed in this cabin?

Reaniel Posted October 29, 2023 #37 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Is there a science to picking a cabin? I mean for our cruise, it was pretty much picked for us by the agent. We ended up with DV3 5107 near the rear. It's supposed to be in the more quiet area with decent view. We were a bit worried about sea sickness, but the agent said it shouldn't be a problem. Was it a better idea to book somewhere in the middle as it seems to be the consensus here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted October 29, 2023 #38 Share Posted October 29, 2023 IMHO, stop second guessing your decision. There are only a handful truly unacceptable cabins and yours is not one of them. Go on the cruise and then based on your experience decide if you want to do something different the next time. Explore the ship. See where the various cabins are. Talk to people. Then use everything you learn to pick a cabin for your next cabin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally never been on an Ocean Cruise, while my mom was on one maybe 30 years ago. She said she remember being sea sick throughout the whole thing, and that was what made us worried about being near the very rear. But you are absolutely right. We'll see if this one works out (or, at least, if the Bonine would keep it manageable 😛) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody has something to say about it. But most of all, get an MD involved in the conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to remember that the agent is a salesperson - the old "only driven by a little old lady on Sunday" line applies here. Any ship motion will be more pronounced at either end and top/bottom. The closer you get to the "middle" of the ship the better if motion is an issue for you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had to ask to move cabins before because when we booked we were too far forward. Fortunately for us the ship was not full as it was just post covid. We were in rough seas and the motion in the front was too much for us. As soon as we relocated to mid-ship we were fine. As the above statement suggests, I would even ask if the Viking agent has ever sailed on an Ocean ship? I have had discussions with a few that have never been on a cruise ship before - Viking or otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duquephart Posted October 31, 2023 #43 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Last cruise we were in 8000, a PS1 cabin. As high and far forward as you can get on the ship. Why wouldn't the spendier cabins be in more stable areas? Going for 8004 next time - we really like the extra room, bigger shower, second TV, "free" laundry, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts me off spending more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetcbl Posted October 31, 2023 #45 Share Posted October 31, 2023 PS3s are the perfect cabins, IMO. Deck 6. Near everything and not too far forward. Two of these are ADA compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmehay Posted December 4, 2023 #46 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Thanks PGNOW for posting this topic. We just booked on Viking Saturn for Dec 24 found out our cabin is 3054. It appears to be right over Torshvan. Our agent says it is over the shops, but would like the opinion of those this forum before making any decision to move. Thanks!

rizello Posted December 4, 2023 #47 Share Posted December 4, 2023 We were in 3048 and loved it. So quiet, but that was in 2021 when Covid restrictions were still in place. Still thought it was a great location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNKY Posted December 5, 2023 #50 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We were in 3056 on Saturn this summer. I could hear Torshvan if I listened without the TV on, or normal conversation. What you will hear is the door to the laundry room. However, being across the hall sure made it easy to do laundry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
