bobsfamily Posted July 22, 2014 #1326 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Have had 3 cabins on different cruises on Empress very near elevators, no noise and easy access to all decks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velmasue Posted July 23, 2014 #1327 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback. We booked guarantee, but are looking at changing to U165. It looks like it is right in front of the door as you exit from the elevator/stairwell? What do you previous Fantasy cruisers think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki in NC Posted July 23, 2014 #1328 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We had U164, which is the same room on the port side. It was a great location! Right out the door and up the stairs/elevator to go anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right out the door and up the stairs/elevator to go anywhere! Thanks! We were assigned U222 which is all the way to the aft, but not aft facing. The prices have dropped since we booked so I may try to make that change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare momin05 Posted July 25, 2014 #1330 Share Posted July 25, 2014 My cousin was in U165 last October and no problems at all. I was surprised there was no noise from elevator. We were in U159 and I would not recommend it. It is directly across from a door to a crew area. I am not sure what goes on in that area, perhaps they make the room service meals in there. But it was loud kitchen-like noises from there and the door started opening and slamming at 6am every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed in aft-facing balcony cabins and LOVED those. However, it is a long walk to the aft and not worth the trip for a regular OV (Just my opinion!)

dafoester Posted July 28, 2014 #1332 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am considering upgrading from the main to the empress deck, however the two rooms (E26 & E34) that are available are directly underneath the Universe Main Show Lounge, therefore I am a bit concerned about noise that may disturb my young daughter at night. Can anyone offer me feedback on the cabins in this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone offer me feedback on the cabins in this area? I wouldn't think it would be an issue. The only time it is used most likely you wouldn't be in your room.

Sent from my ADR6350 using Forums mobile app For the first time we used the parking garage in Charleston this past May. We had about 20 going on a cruise and another couple who lived close had a HC sticker so were going to park and we tagged along. No one asked who was the HC person, they saw the placard hanging from the mirror and that was it. Great parking area, easy to shuttle and easy back to the car.

bwaz Posted August 2, 2014 #1342 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thank you. I should have also mentioned thar we loved the spa...very reasonably priced considering it was a ship. DH actually let himself be treated to a shave...he loved it. I guess that is a great thing about cruises. You do things you would never experience in your everyday life.

bwaz Posted August 4, 2014 #1347 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't mind at all, but I'm afraid I don't remember. I recall there were 3 levels, basic, basic with skin care, and the top level with skin care and massage. I made the appointments for him. He liked the first basic one so much he asked me to arrange a second one for him. I was surprised but happy because he never does anything nice for himself like that. So for the last one I loaded it up with the extras. His report afterwards..."That was great!" Sent from my LG-D801 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morehay Posted August 5, 2014 #1349 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, just booked pack and go rate late last night and just got my room assigment, M126. Is this a good room/location? This will be our first cruise and I have no idea what to look for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise, J.D. Posted August 5, 2014 #1350 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Hi, just booked pack and go rate late last night and just got my room assigment, M126. Is this a good room/location? This will be our first cruise and I have no idea what to look for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Yes, it is mid ship with cabins above and below it. That is a good location to me. The Fantasy is smaller, so it is easier to navigate. The main thing to remember is that the dining rooms are on Deck 8 so you can't walk all the way through on that deck. You will find most of the action on Decks 8 (forward), 9, and 10. Here is a great site for exploring deck plans: http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/Main/decks.php?ship=Carnival%20Fantasy If you have any specific questions, just post them. Have a great cruise!
