Which one would you choose?

[Tapi]

Hi!

 

I'm looking at the Fantasy 7 night out of Charleston. Thinking about bringing my parents along (they're in their 70's).

 

I'm torn between booking a porthole cabin all the way forward, or an inside cabin midship. (same category, same price). Needless to say, I'm debating sunlight vs. location.

 

I asked them and they said that I should choose for them :rolleyes: Which one would you choose? Part of me thinks that they will enjoy some sunlight in their cabin, but part of me is concerned that if the seas get a bit rough that they won't enjoy their cruise much if they're all the way forward.

 

Thanks for your response!

If the 3 of you are going to share a cabin, it's gonna be too crowded to do much but sleep and dress there, anyway. I'd go for the inside midship, for less motion sickness possibilities.

No, they will have their own cabin..:)

I too would say midship. The window doesn't mean all that much if it's a difference in the rocking and rolling.

Me, I always pick the port hole cabins. They used to be more costly and 5As cabins and will be the same size as the inside on Fantasy. Unless you think you are prone to seasickness, they arent that far forward to me...I pick the one furthest aft though.

I would go for the porthole.

 

Last time I chose it got an upsell for aft wrap.

 

Have another coming up on Freedom and let see what happens.

 

In anay case all things equal would take the porthole every time.

Tough question.

 

You know them best. Is their bedroom at home dark? Do they exhibit claustrophobic tendencies? Do either of them experience motion sickness. Do either of them have mobility issues?

I would also choose midship inside. Quieter and no as much movement!!

We really enjoyed the "beer goggle cabins" on the Ecstacy. We're not prone to motion sickness - but we really never felt any extra motion. Nice and quiet up there (except when the bow thrusters are on) pretty easy to get to the main foyer and best of all... the cabins that appear bigger on the deck plans actually are.

 

Depending on the cabin, the port holes are really nothing more than skylights. Our cabin had a four foot deep cave where a normal stateroom window would be and then two four foot long tubes ending with the port holes. Looked liked giant binoculars - or beer goggles.

I booked all the way forward in an inside cabin with portholes on the Imagination for next Nov just to try it. Now if I was booking a cabin for my parents I'd get them a cabin midship! :)
