aim_for_the_sun Posted July 18, 2016 #3302 Share Posted July 18, 2016 My boyfriend and I just booked our first cruise. We are on the Victory, room 8232. I read earlier in the thread that that is a good cabin- is that the case on every ship? Thanks! Amy Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your ship its under and over cabin space away from public areas. on the spirit class ships its one of three bigger balconies. http://i48.tinypic.com/28jlevq.jpg your balcony will look nothing like that.

serene56 Posted July 18, 2016 #3307 Share Posted July 18, 2016 For me personally. Its too far forward. But its a good choice. I prefer my cabin to be on deck 7 more towards the back.. 7391 is where my cabin is. no across the hall neighbor. this is where they store the fire door. close to stairs / elevators. Up two decks for the food and pool down 2 decks for the entertainment. The only time I need to travel is to go to the show lounge. Please note that this ship has dead ends. You can NOT get to the aft dining room except by using the aft elevator and you can not get to the forward dining room unless you use the forward elevator. So note which dining room you get when you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aim_for_the_sun Posted July 19, 2016 #3309 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thank you so much for the info! Our cruise sails October 30, and we just realized they will celebrate Halloween! We are pretty excited! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 25, 2016 #3310 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Haven't posted (or read) here in a while. Just wanted people to know I sailed on the Vista Inaugural in a Family Harbor Deluxe OV cabin 2458. I wrote a review if anyone wants more info (click my name, then the stats tab, then threads started by me). There were some complaints about Havana cabins being noisy because the band plays there fairly late. And I'm hoping everyone realizes that those pricey aft cabins do not overlook the water but the Havana pool area. For the newbies, there's a site called cruisedeckplans dot com that has a "drag decks" feature. It's very, very useful to see what is above and below the cabin you're considering booking. I have it open whenever I call to book a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful154@ Posted July 25, 2016 #3311 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can anyone tell me about cabin R29 on Carnival Elation sailing in August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful154@ Posted July 25, 2016 #3312 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Also should i upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 26, 2016 #3313 Share Posted July 26, 2016 R29 - porthole cabins are nice. Cabin may be slightly larger than typical OV because of that bend in the hull. I've found that it isn't really usable space, though. Be aware that there may be lots of movement that far forward, so if that's an issue, be prepared. Lots and lots of info out there about remedies (I swear that Ginger Root has cured me). Also, noise from the anchor if you have any tender ports. I'm one of those rare people who actually prefers an inside to having "just" a window. Since I'm often solo, I can't usually afford a balcony, so I stick to my nice, dark interior cabins and sleep like a baby. Any light seeping in around the window and I wake up literally at the crack of dawn. So, consider that, too. If proximity to food is important, that's another thing to consider. I prefer to be as far away from the food as possible. :p Take the forward stairs up to Promenade deck, walk all the way aft (to catch my breath), then up another flight of stairs to Lido and food. I don't gain weight when I cruise despite the vastly increased caloric intake! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get car sick or sick on amusement rides I think you will be fine. Our first cruise I invested in sea bands. Bracelet type of wear. I don't like meds that will make me drowsey or tired. Ginger tablets or ginger candies are good too Noise? what noise? we also travel with a travel noise machine for white noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenmusic Posted August 4, 2016 #3322 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We were just in room 2244 on Triumph which was right underneath the lounge where the shows are done. On nights with a show it got pretty loud but otherwise it was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene194215 Posted August 22, 2016 #3324 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Does anyone have information on Cabin 2245 on the Splendor? I looked on the map and it looks like its under the theater. I am assuming though after any shows are over it should be quiet? I would probably not go to sleep till after midnight? Not sure how it would be in the AM? Thanks in advance!!

That cabin will get the thump thump of the base every show time On port days that have tender-- the people leave from the show lounge. on other port days this is where people meet for the ship sponser excursions. they use a mircophone so you should not hear anything on those days. Dancers practice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
