AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If you could choose between two category D cabins on Amsterdam on Dolphin Deck (deck 1) -either 1840 or 1844 near the forward elevators/main atrium and 1875 near the mid elevators which would you choose and why???? I'm currently in 1875, but considering moving to 1840 or 1844. Any advice appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted July 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I would pick 1875 only because it is midship. You are already half way to where you are going, be it the rear for MDR or front for the theater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodworker&knitter Posted July 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Mid ship location is IMO the better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 24, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted July 24, 2019 With three quick replies all reaffirming my original cabin choice of 1875, I will stay put :) Many Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindaler Posted July 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The only advantage might be that usually the dock is on the even side of the ship in Juneau but I am not sure which side has a better view or how it docks in the other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how much viewing will you do from a Dolphin deck OV? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it might be better to be in 75 as you can watch the planes take off and the crew practice with the life boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be doing that from a low OV either! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 24, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) We won't be spending a ton of time in the cabin but the areas closer to the main atrium/fwd elevators are probably the set of spaces we will use the most - Ocean Bar, Atrium Terrace, Main Theater, Guest Services, Crows Nest, Dive-In, Thermal Suite in Spa, Casino, etc. Not to mention you usually go ashore from the forward gangway at most ports. That's why I was thinking 1840 or 1844 might be better choices for us. Edited July 24, 2019 by AtlantaCruiser72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindaler Posted July 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The elevators up front might have less traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir PMP Posted July 24, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Stayed in 1889, was good, 1875, will be the same, but you're right that 1844 get you close to the gangway, on the other side, room sizes are the same.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 24, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted July 24, 2019 After deciding to not change me mind, welllllllll, I changed me mind and moved to 1844 - I'd rather be nearer the fwd stairs/elevators and Atrium. Will be easier to orient Mum from there too so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted July 25, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think you might be splitting hairs so you'll be good in both cabins. One nice thing about the forward cabins is that the gangway was always deck 2, forward when we were on the Amsterdam a few weeks ago. The only time we ever encountered crowds were the first 30 minutes when we arrived to a port. FYI, you can access the forward decks very easily on the Amsterdam - I made a video showing how. https://cruisingrobsblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/getting-to-forward-decks-on-ms.html Trip report: https://cruisingrobsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/2019 Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an easier way just going to the bow on Promenade Deck (deck 4). No need to go outside and climb steep stairs. Just head straight out on the same level.
