smokey11 Posted November 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hello we are looking to sail the Dawn on January 17 th out of New Orleans. There will be 2 adults and 2 children. We want to book an inside cabin. The least expensive is deck 4. Is is worth the extra $ to be on deck 12? Will we feel the motion more on deck 12? Thanks your any input. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbomb Posted November 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I would take deck 12. We had a cabin on deck 4 once and it was really noisy including in the middle of the night. We were above the laundry facility and it woke us up several times each night and made DH very cranky!! We now only book cabins that are located above and below other cabins or quiet areas.

Demonyte Posted November 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Definitely deck 12. Cabins are a lot newer (built on drydock couple of years ago) and the location is better in many ways (less noise, short distance from pool deck/buffet, etc).

casofilia Posted November 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Looks like I will be in a minority of 1!! I would take Deck 4. The last cruises we have taken have been Inside on 4 or 5. We have not found then to be at all noisy and have been very stable, no appreciable movement at all. Also close to decks 6 & 7 where a lot of the action is!!

sebas030 Posted November 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Very very prone to see sickness = deck 4 Otherwise go for deck 12 I didn't check the port list but if you have a few tendering port, the gangway is on deck 4 and you might have a lot of traffic at your stateroom door if you are on deck 4. Anyways I would sleep next to the engines room if it was possible so I could cruise more often.... Have fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridanamaw Posted November 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Deck four is used for tendering and there is lots of morning traffic going to tender area. I imagine it would be noisy with so many people using it at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmkab Posted November 30, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would choose deck 12. Super convenient to the pool and also the Garden Cafe. We've stayed on deck 12 in a family suite and the motion never bothered us. It's a nice, quiet little section of cabins with a few meeting rooms and the library mixed in with them. Great location if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FitchburgWIFamily Posted November 30, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2015 We had an inside on deck 12: 12521. With lower beds pushed apart and births folded down from above, the room made up like two bunk beds with room to walk in between. Better than the trundle bed option in some inside rooms. We had no problems with motion (but that could have been the weather). Very convenient to the pool, and the kids club. I don't know what the rooms on the 4th floor are like, so I can't compare.

partigus Posted December 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 2, 2015 just got back from a week on the Dawn. We were in 12016- the second to last family suite w/o a balcony- so we were pretty far forward (where the insides on 12 are- there are meeting rooms and the library behind them. Echoing others- I kept telling my wife how much I loved the location. Steps from the pool deck, on the other side of the deck- the buffet (great when the kids needed a quick snack). and the elevator takes you straight down to the Stardust. It was pretty windy on our trip and the seas were moderate to rough at times (the wind was worse than the waves) and it was a bit "swervey".
