Glama Posted December 12, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Why is it your worst nightmare?? Are you worried about movement?? Don't worry, it will be fine! We've had the very aft cabins before, and also the very forward on Legend. It wasn't bad at all! If you are really super freaked out about it, call to see if you can get it changed. They probably have other cabins you could switch to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted December 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Want advice? :D When you book your next cruise, pay a few dollars more and pick the cabin you want. :) Problem solved, no nightmares. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted December 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Worst nightmare:confused: :confused: ? Since I have never been on the Elation I can not speak about specifics...but generally the Riviera deck is a fine location. We actually CHOOSE aft cabins because of the location :rolleyes: . My guess is that you will be fine. Go and enjoy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montycruiser Posted December 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2007 On our October 2005 cruise, we had to change ships due to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts from Carnival. We were put on the Inspiration out of Tampa, guess what room we got R-239 very last room inside. You know it was not bad at all, just kind of a long walk from the elevators, but just helps to walk off those extra pounds from the dining room;) Go and don't worry, it will be a great cruise.

bonstersd Posted December 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Better the last room than the first room -- I know that for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerdadky Posted December 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My first cruise was the elation and I was just above you. I had a wonderful time. I dont think u have anything to worry about. Your on a cruise ship, how bad can it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted December 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I was on the Rhapsoday in April and we got almost the aft on deck 2, it actually was pretty convenient to getting most places, just awfully from from an elevator. We thought it was a good location after all was said and done. I worried a bit before the cruise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellanora Posted December 13, 2007 #11 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I love the aft cabins on the Fantasy class - you can take the closest elevator straight up and step right into the Lido restaurant for food and drink. Very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted December 13, 2007 #12 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I wish I had your nightmare, we have to wait until Feb. 4 to go on our next cruise. I dont care where my cabin is, so long as I'm on the ship somewhere. I'll sleep in a deck chair (and have, thank you very much Mr. Budweiser) if I have to, I just wanna go on more cruises! Tell you what, if you're that unhappy I will take the cruise off your hands! Yes, I am that nice of a guy. Just pay the fare, taxes, port fees and tips for me and I will stay in that dank little box and row with the rest of the Riviera steerage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted December 13, 2007 #13 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My 1st cruise was on the Fascination. We where on the Empress deck in the Last cabin in the back of the ship... We didn't have any problems. As I remember it was near the stairs.. It work out fine for us. Every little noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuildog Posted December 13, 2007 #14 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Why did you book it then? I can't imagine this would be your worst nightmare. You, or someone you love, could be terminally ill. Now that would be a tragedy. I'm sure you could have found another ship that had cabins more to your liking. Not sure where you are going with this? Please suck it up and try to have fun. No one forced you to take the cabin, so I am having a hard time sympathizing. I figure if I'm on a cruise then life is great! Who cares where I sleep?

Sassy Chassis Posted December 13, 2007 #15 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just look at it this way...so you may have to walk a little further to get to your cabin, but hey! That burns more calories so you can have a dessert every night or even 2 appetizers before the main course!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seayalater Posted December 13, 2007 Author #16 Share Posted December 13, 2007 hey all thanks for all the replys. We booked thru Expedia on a cheap fare, last minute spur of the moment. This is our 7th cruise and we have always booked through a travel agent, so we have known our rooms and deck for months. I just have never been so low on the ship, at the very back and I worry about motion sickness. I have never been to the Pacific. I guessed I phrased it wrong. I just wanted advice.

The only difference between the decks is the signage at the elevators. Everything else is the same. You wont even notice it unless you take the stairs.

You'll be fine hon. I get motion sickness, but the non-drowsy Dramamine works great for me. Just take it, whether or not you feel sick (once you feel sick, it is often too late). We've been on the lowest deck several times. Lowest is best for motion. However, since you're so far aft, you will feel motion more than if your cabin was midship. As another poster said...bright side is you have farther to walk at times. We also shun elevators in favor of the stairs and have not gained any weight on our last three cruises! Your hallway should be very quiet also. No worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsSailAway Posted December 13, 2007 #19 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Help Anyone!!We are booked on the last cabin in back on the Elation to Mexico in January and on the bottom deck Riviera. This is my worst nightmare. Anyone have any advice or words to calm me down? maria I was just in E244 on the Fascination and I loved the aft location. I've been on Riviera in the past, towards the back but not at the very aft, and didn't have any problem. Riviera is Deck 4, so there are still 3 decks below you.

bychance Posted December 13, 2007 #21 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Better the last room than the first room -- I know that for sure! I disagree we had the first and second rooms, Riveria Deck, Valor it was awsome.

This is my worst nightmare. Anyone have any advice or words to calm me down? maria I'm going 01/07/08 on the Elation and have E16. Don't sweat the motion. Take along some non drowsy Dramamine, ginger tablets or candied ginger...The day between Cabo and Ensenada can get rocky..But your on a cruise so have fun and think about all the poor stiffs that are stuck at work!

firefly333 Posted December 13, 2007 #24 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I got a roll of chewable Bonine. By the time I felt like I needed something the Dramamine I had was in those plastic punch out things and I NEEDED them now and felt so bad I could hardly punch them out thru the plastic them embed them in. The roll was easier to get to and the Bonine lasts 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCcruising Posted December 13, 2007 #25 Share Posted December 13, 2007 It will be fine. We have been on the Riviera deck a couple of times, and we love that we are right there when we get into port. And the walk to the elevators does make you think you are getting a suitable form of exercise in. :) We never feel motion until that very last night when the ship is hauling butt trying to get back to Miami. But even so, its not bad. I think your location will be fine, and you will have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
