Tom (or someone who has stayed in these suites can answer),

 

Looking to book the Pride for next year..Sailing from Baltimore, so no flying Hooray! DH and I want to book a Vista Suite. I like being close to the water however I was concerned about booking 4237 or 4228 because of the connecting staterooms.

 

How noisy are the connecting staterooms? Would I be better off if noise is an issue to book either Deck 8 or Deck 7. Don't want to book Deck 5 or 6 if I can help it. Those suites are smaller.

 

I am very frugal and we realize that we are not going to get many perks for booking a suite with Carnival. We wanted the larger balcony because we really enjoying spending time out there. To us, it is worth the money because of the balcony. Priority whatever is just a bonus.

 

Told DH that we could save the money by booking a regular aft balcony. He wants to be on the aft. I told him that was fine, but I would have to have a middle balcony. I couldn't be right next to the Aft wrap...I would have a severe case of "Balcony Envy."

Not in regard to these particular suites, but many people have been in connecting cabins. They are only as noisy as your next door neighbors. 7 out of 8 times I have had no problems. Once I did have noisy neighbors. But if they are noisy, having the door or not having a door in the wall isn't going to make much of a difference, if they are slamming drawers, you hear it thru the walls for instance. The cabin walls just as not that thick, that it's a huge difference on Carnival.
