Cabin Location Question - Riviera Deck

[kewlgrl127]

I am a first time cruiser sailing on the Crown Princess in a Penthouse suite on the Riviera deck. Can anyone who has ever stayed in a PH suite on this deck share their experiences with me? I'm having second thoughts about the location of the suite... thanks so much in advance!

From what I've read the Crown and the Caribbean Princess are mostly identical. We stayed in R415, a PH suite on the Riviera deck, on the Caribbean Princess earlier this year and are planning to do so again next year. It was wonderful. The suite is roomy, nicely decorated, has wonderful service and a great balcony. The PHs are midship very close to stairs and elevators and are convenient to everything.

We had second thoughts, too, because of postings about overhead noise from chairs, etc, on the Lido deck. Very honestly, noise never bothered us. It was a wonderful vacation.

Happy cruising.

Thank you so much for your response! I'm sure we will have a great time. Can't wait!
