Hsmama Posted October 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2017 So I've been on one cruise before (with the help of CC!) and loved it, we sailed Oosterdam to Alaska,oceanview room- question I really enjoyed our location (main deck,cabin 1008) it was low,and up front near the theater- in thinking about another cruise, I am likely to pick another (discount) room that is on the lowest deck I can get,since on the one day when we had some waves etc, I felt like it was smoother down on the lower deck.... am I right or wrong? I was looking at the Carnival Glory,which is a much bigger ship(I think) and possible cabins (int.) were on the riviera or main deck, either midship,or way in the back. Which is preferable for what I'm thinking? I'm not too picky, but I enjoy peace and quiet,and less boat motion if possible.... thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Midship or aft is good on a lower deck. We had a porthole cabin forward on Glory and had no problems, although we only had one evening with a little more than normal motion. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted October 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Glory oceanview. be careful whats above-- there is a galley that runs 24/7 Being under the dining room is ok since its carpeted so no noise issues. on this class of ship your entertainment is deck 5 food ;pools deck 9 i would stay closer to the aft than the front this ship also has dead ends and you can not get to the aft dining room using the mid ship elevators nor can you get to the forwad dining room using the aft elevators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsmama Posted October 26, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 26, 2017 thanks for extra info! I can see the galley is above the main deck...I am avoiding main for that reason- riviera deck is one below that so that's what I'm looking at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsmama Posted October 27, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted October 27, 2017 so I spoke to a couple of agents today....one of them said if I booked a cabin on riviera deck,which is the lowest choice, I would be bothered my engine noise (cabin sort of in midship I think) and reccomended main deck, but I dislike the idea of the busy lobby deck above main....would you agree with the rep?

Rare Essiesmom Posted October 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Guest cabins are nowhere near the engines. If you book forward or aft, you can feel the thrusters when entering and leaving port, but it is vibration and not noise. Your agents need some education, or maybe cruising experience.
