serene56 Posted February 24, 2012 #2401 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We are booked in Carnival Freedom cabin 7344. This is our first cruise with Carnival so felt unsure of cabin selection. Any problems with this cabin location?Thank you for this thread and everyone's kind help! I love 7411 (cheaper then what you have too) its a good choice- between cabin space and away from public areas. use the aft elevators to get you closer tot he food/pools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted February 27, 2012 #2404 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just spent 9 days on Celebrity Millennium in cabin 9063 (inside). Cabin is located beneath the Aqua Spa Cafe, and in early morning there might be the dull rumble of carts, not really a problem. However, the cabin is right next to a steward's closet, and the noise there in early morning precludes sleeping past 7am. Also, steward cart is parked right by the door. Cabin wall on that side must have much less soundproofing than the opposite side, where there is another cabin. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserCindy Posted February 27, 2012 #2405 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We were assigned this cabin for our upcoming cruise. Has anyone stayed in this cabin before. I was trying to locate it and it looks like it is located in a small alcove . Anyone have any info? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 28, 2012 #2406 Share Posted February 28, 2012 There is a sticky on the Celebrity board where people have reviewed their cabins on Celebrity S class ships. Best to check there. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trew Posted February 29, 2012 #2407 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Splendor room 2442. We have friends going with us and staying in the adjoining room. Do you hear any noise from the dining room? We figured we aren't in the room during the busy dinner times so it shouldn't be a problem. Is there a safe in the room and a refrigerator?

Is there a safe in the room and a refrigerator? dining room is carpeted so no noise issue from above. yes, there is a safe- you will need a card with a magnetic strip (a shopping card. do NOT use a sign and sail card. leave is somewhere in the cabin (like a pocket in a pair of pants hanging in the closet there is a fridge--but its not really cold.

Why do you need a card with a magnetic strip? How does that work in the safe? Sorry, this seems totally foreign to me. Is that how it works on all ships, or just RCCL? Thanks.

Is that how it works on all ships, or just RCCL? Thanks. This is a new process that is being used by many hotels and resorts, not just cruise ships. It is just an easy way to use the safe and know that no one else can access it. If you use your sail & sign card...well....the ship has access.

sincity_blondie Posted March 3, 2012 #2414 Share Posted March 3, 2012 oh now im worried about my room. We are booked for the april 29th cruise on the Conquest. We are only 1 floor below the Lido deck. I am a very light sleeper. But we have a large group going, and while I might be able to move my room, it would be hard to move us all. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how it works on all ships, or just RCCL? You slide it just as you do your credit card at the grocery. A used up gift card is good. I understand that some of the newer Carnival ships want a card in a slot to turn on lights. I haven't been on one so don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buffet area is carpeted so noise issues there. but there are sections that should be avoided- like directly under a pool area. You may get slidding deck chair noises. Doesnt last long but could be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrirus Posted March 3, 2012 #2418 Share Posted March 3, 2012 We are booking a balcony cabin on the Carnival Splendor out of California to the Mexican riveria. I have heard that there are covered or uncovered balcony. Not sure what is better or even if Splendor has an option. I would appreciate any advice on picking a cabin for this cruise. We are late in booking, going the end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggy387 Posted March 4, 2012 #2419 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We have Main Deck Aft 2499 an oceanview. It appears to be a cabin that looks out the back of the ship not the side. I was thinking about trying to upgrade as after ten cruises we have never stayed in this location. We know nothing about it. Does anyone have experience with cabins all the way aft looking out the back. Should we upgrade? We are on Carnival Dream but I would like opinions from anyone that has had a cabin in this location. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddingtonbear Posted March 6, 2012 #2423 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi, First time cruiser so I know nothing :) On the Coral Princess Cabin C329 it says it will accommodate a 3rd or 4th person. Does this mean the cabin is bigger than the one next door C331 that only accommodates 2? Is it better to book C331 and not face the prospect of getting kicked out of C329 if a group of 3 or 4 wanted a cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
