WET193 Posted November 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2010 My family is doing a Western Caribbean with my bff who has never been on a cruise before. We wanted connecting balcony cabins, and the only ones available were at the front of the ship. Is this a bad place to be on deck 10? There are also cabins next to each other on deck 7 aft, but not connecting. Which would be a better place to be? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WET193 Posted November 5, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Sorry, I mean deck 9, not 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted November 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I would rather be aft then forward-especially that high up. -- what you see available is NOT everything that is left. Most cruiselines will only list forward or aft--rarely showing midship cabins. Call an agent to see what else is available. Even if the cabins are not connecting- get rooms next to each other but make sure the balcony divider can be opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted November 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2010 On all the cruises we have been on, except our first, we always had a forward cabin and never had a problem. In fact we find that there is less foot traffic in the hallways when your cabin is at the front of the ship. We have our first AFT cabin on our upcoming cruise so I am looking forward to comparing the two. If you are not prone to motion sickness (just in case there are rough seas) I can't see any reason why you shouldn't try these forward cabins.

BabySis Posted November 9, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Our FAVORITES are the "Sunset" cabins... balcony off the back of the ship!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingram1 Posted November 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Even if the cabins are not connecting- get rooms next to each other but make sure the balcony divider can be opened. We were on the Voyager, on deck 9, forward. No issues whatsoever with motion. FYI.. the balcony dividers on Voyager cannot be opened. Just be prepared to walk a lot if your destination is aft. We enjoyed the walk after dinner... walked off some of those extra calories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elerie Posted July 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2011 This is our first cruise on Royal, seventh overall. We are on deck 10 aft. Can anyone prepare me for any problems? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted July 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2011 This is our first cruise on Royal, seventh overall. We are on deck 10 aft. Can anyone prepare me for any problems? Which ship? If voyager or freedom class, the buffet will be right above you so it might wake you in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 15, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Even very forward will entail lots of walking....pick the deck closest to where you think you'll spend most of your time...makes using the stairs easier, and it's faster! We love deck 10---only 1 easy flight to and from the pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted July 18, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Which ship? If voyager or freedom class, the buffet will be right above you so it might wake you in the morning. (Quoting and correcting myself). Oops. (1) You did say "Voyage of the Seas" in the title, and (2) you said deck 10 front. I was thinking aft. Now with deck 10 front of ship, you will likely have the gym directly above you. I would think this might get a little noisy. I'd go for deck 7, so you have cabins above and below you.

Jules12Wed Posted July 26, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2011 We've got cabin 1270 in a couple of weeks and I'm concerned that there is an overhang from above over the cabin. Anyone any idea about this cabin. I have heard from this site that deck 10 would have better service with regards to rooms etc because they put all the best room attendants on that deck because it has most suites etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cabins are serviced twice a day- what other service is there?? There are suites on other decks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
