Riviera or Main

[Luvoceans]

If you could have a room in the middle of the ship on the Riviera deck 1st deck or main deck you would have to be in the aft or front ....what would you choose ?

[mrpayroll]

Middle of Riviera. ( and we have ) :)

[nwo4life]

Which class ship?

[Luvoceans]

Conquest

[SadieN]

Aft main under the MDR.

[Martini Mom]

We've done both. Not much difference. I would chose aft over forward though.

Riveria, forward and about 5 cabins in from the elevators.

Middle Riviera has my vote!

 

My mother had an aft deck 2 cabin before and there were too many noises early in the morning when the ship was setting up in port.

 

I've stayed in a mid OV on the Riviera deck and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again :)

...Would definitely suggest Riviera Deck, anywhere near the forward elevators. It's an area of the ship that we like. Usually very quiet and very little ship movement.

Main deck aft. room 2477 if available it's a little bigger which is very nice.

[ray98]

Which ever offers closest to the middle or aft.

To minimize motion, take the Riviera deck, midship. If motion isn't as much of a concern, but you want elevator convenience, then absolutely take Main deck, forward. There are 10 elevators in the forward elevator area, because of the 4 glass elevators. Shortest wait of any elevators, just because there are so many there. Main deck, aft, will have more vibrations & odd sounds than your other options. I have been on Conquest, and noticed quite a bit of inconsistent vibration in the aft on the lower decks. I would have been awoken many times by it if we were back there. Although, some people aren't bothered by this.

We've done all. We'd pick Riviera midship without a doubt. You'll be thankful if there's any type of weather and the ship is rocking and rolling. If you're forward, you'll feel all the pitching motion which is usually what makes people nauseous. If you're aft, you will feel the rumble which sometimes can be pretty bothersome.

I go with Riviera midship.

We have done Riviera midship for these same reasons.

Thank you all :)

In all 14 of our Carnival cruises, we've booked Riviera Midship. Less motion if there are any rough seas. Also, on Conquest class ships, you have other cabins above you on Main deck.

Another vote from me for Riviera mid ship. I have done both Riviera midship and main forward. Main deck forward was also ok for me, but I did have some noise from above (theater), if I was back in the room early at night, which was not often, but just saying, Main deck is ok too, but beware of what is above you.

Riviera deck, you will only have other rooms above you.

 

The mid ship oceanview room/riviera deck, we had on the Liberty was the quietest and the least motion felt room, that I have ever had on a cruise ship.
