CABIN 9500 ON MONARCH..Ok how much rockin' am I in for?

[Mary Jane 711]

My husband and I have 9502 and our friends have 9500. I have never had a cabin this far forward or this far up. ( I did not handle the booking, husband did:rolleyes: )i am just wondering if we are going to really feel the seas up there? I can handle it, just thought maybe someone had a similar experience. ( I prefer the back of the ship.)

It all depends on the weather! I'm sure everyone on the Monarch will be feeling the rough seas this weekend, however two weeks ago it was as smooth as glass.

We leave on Monday the 7th, so hopefully, the storm we have now will have passed through by then.

I had the same fears about far forward cabin 9504 on the Liberty of the Seas in December. On the first day, I felt jerky movement and heard noise when the ship was pulling out at the Miami pier plus bouncing during the night. Apart from these, it was smooth sailing thereafter.

 

As PhoenixCruiser indicated, the weather has a lot to do with it. Happy sails.

9500 is our favorite stateroom - never had any problems - love it cuz we are in the first or last stateroom and no one else goes by!! so it's not that noisey - Corkey

Thanks Corkey, and everyone. That's just what I needed to know! Sail tomorrow!

Hope you have a wonderful cruise Mary Jane!!! If you run into Clinton or Lambert (bar servers in the casino) please tell them that Lynda (12/17 cruise) says hello :D

Just reserved (last minute) cabin 9500 on the Freedom, for 4/26/09.

Thank you all for answering our questions, w/out our even having to ask them. We did the Disney cruise last year and the family cabin (#8020) on there was tight. This sounds like a roomier arrangement.

My wife is concerned about feeling the sea/motion; so, hopefully good weather.

I noticed -- from the deckplans -- that passageways seem to pass to the front, on either side of the two forward FO cabins; is there any foot traffic/noise at night from those?

Any do's and don't's recommended for these cabins, or the trip in general?

Taking three daughters, 10, 8 and 5, so any advice on activities -- esp shore excursions for them -- would be most welcome. Thanks!

JP, this thread was about the Monarch, last year...

Understood that 9500 set up was same on both ships. Just looking for some feedback from those who have been in the same cabin arrangement.

Sorry if I offended or violated any protocols.
