Help Choosing Which Deck?

[J_Viggy]

Hi!

 

We are currently booked for an interior room on the Triumph, in April.

 

Last night I used my powers of persuasion to convince my husband that we should upgrade to a balcony. Our daughter, age 5, will be with us and I really think having the balcony at night will be nice because she can be sleeping while my husband and I sit out there for a glass of wine or to gaze at the stars or whatever. :)

 

So, now I'm trying to decide which balcony to choose. We are going with a standard balcony. I am trying to decide between one on Deck 7 vs the Panorama deck. Not too concerned about motion sickess, just want to have a nice quite space to enjoy. This is our first cruise, so looking for some helpful suggestions.

 

Thanks in advance!

The only thing we check when booking a balcony is to make sure that the deck above us is just other cabins or that it is not a disco or dinning area, just to minimize the noise coming from above.

Deck 7 would be my choice.

I'll probably stick with 7 (that's where I had selected an interior room). I was just looking at pictures of the outdoor public deck area on the Panorama deck and it looks really cool and I assume it stays relatively uncrowded, so that's what's making me consider that deck....

AND below you as well!!

Definitely stick with Deck 7 (Empress Deck), you have two decks above you before common areas and another deck below you before common areas. Just try to stay away from the balcony ones near the glass elevators that look down into the atrium. You will hear the the bands and such from there if you get a balcony right off those elevators.

I agree with making sure there is nothing noisy above or below you. Which deck is closer to the things that you will be doing more of?

While I like the Empress Deck (7), one of our last cruises we were on the Panorama. We loved it. We were one deck above the Lido, so getting to the pool, food, etc was quick. I liked being up higher too. Initially I thought I might hear noise from the Lido, but we didn't hear anything. We liked it so much, our upcoming cruise is also on the Panorama in the same cabin.

 

Also, since Panorama Deck is much shorter, it is quieter since "everyone" insn't walking pass the cabin.

 

Either deck is a good choice, enjoy the cruise.

We booked a balcony cabin on Lido for our trip in November ... As excited as my husband is to be that close to the Deli, I'm kind of nervous about that one. :o lol

Definitely look below you as well. Bass through the floor can be a mood-killer. :rolleyes:

 

*&%hole! There's one in every thread!:)

I may be a bit OCD but our Cruise in April is our 4th cruise and all have been on deck 7.

[J_Viggy]

I think I'll stick with 7. I'm sure we will have a blast wherever we end up :)

 

Thanks for all the input. I'm so excited!!!

Good choice .

Looks like you've already made your choice but we love the Panorama Deck. So close to all of the action and you can run back to your cabin to use your own bathroom.
