If you had to choose a cabin??

[libbydic]

We are booked on Caribbean Princess on the 2/5/05 sailing in a BB cabin R607 but I just realized we are below the Lido deck and am worried about noise from above, I was just checking and realized that room B757 on Baja deck is available and was thinking about switching. Does anyone know would this be a good switch?? Is that far aft a better location than what I have now.

 

Thanks

I would pick an aft cabin overlooking the wake in a heartbeat!!!! :D

[geoherb]

Me too. Take the aft cabin. (Although we've twice been on the Aloha Deck of the Golden Princess, which is under the Lido Deck on it, and never had any problems with nice from above.)

Run, don't walk, to the phone and make the switch!

 

 

We had B753 on the Caribbean Princess (CB) last summer and will have B755 on our 12/18 CB sailing.

 

Totally awesome cabin

The aft is prime property!!!! :p

Here's video of what you will miss if you do not make this change

Is there too much movement in the back. I don't get seasick but you never know??

 

P.S. Loved the video

[sue d. miller]

There is no more movement there than the rest of the ship!! If it is rockin, the whole ship is. Get Bonine!!!! :)

[CruiseFever]

All I can tell you is that we always select an aft cabin and have never had a problem in this area. Me and the two teen kids take/do nothing for motion discomfort and DW takes a bonine every day just to be safe.

[libbydic]

I am now convinced, just have to wait till 8:00AM till my TA is open and pray that it is still available.......

[sue d. miller]

Good luck!! Have a wonderful cruise!!! :)

Chris, that was just toooooo cool. Thanks for posting. I'm counting the days ------, although my aft view will have to come from the public areas :-(

re: comment about movement in a certain part of the ship.

 

I know people talk all the time about low and center, but gee whiz, how does one part of the ship move and not the rest? Yea, there is some physics thing, but only to an extreme. If the ship is moving, it pretty much all moves.

You wouldn't be saying this if you were in the forward cabin of a ship in 20' seas and major swells. You literally come off the bed at times. Whereas on the same ship but in a middle cabin you will feel just a simple back and forth rolling sensation.

Wondering why then they put the higher priced minis foward ????

WOW, Chris..thanks for sharing. We are in C752 on the Star in January and seeing this helped raise the excitement level.

Happy Thanksgiving........

Think of the pitch of a ship as being akin to a teeter-totter. If you are in the center, there is little movement, but if you are either end, there is a lot of movement.

 

That analogy does not hold true for roll of a ship.

Just booked cabin B749, really looking forward to this. It will be our first time in the aft.

[libbydic]

Was able to get my B757 Aft balcony now I am even more excited. Does anyone know if the Aft balconies are any bigger than the other??

[sue d. miller]

Congratulations!!! If they are like the rest of the grand class, they are deeper!! You will love it!!! I am jealous!!!! :D

Chris, leave the cam at home next cruise. I can't afford another cruise yet! Or can I????

Yep, deeper. Congrats!

[psupa]

You'll love the aft cabin and the balcony is fully covered and very quiet. Had B754 on our cruise and loved it. Enjoy your cruise.
