ZooTycoon223 Posted August 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Which ship are you planning on going on? If it's a Conquest class ship, I would go with Empress(deck 7) because it has a floor of rooms above and below it to block out noise. Lido(deck 9) may seem more convenient because you just have to walk a bit to get to the pool/buffet, but it's more than likely very loud as well. So really, it all depends on if you prefer peace and quiet, but a bit of travel time or convenience but at the same time not much peace. Personally, I would get a balcony on the Empress deck, because I don't mind walking up a flight or two of stairs to get to the Lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted August 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Have always picked Empress (quiet, nothing but staterooms above and below), but definitely want to try Lido next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRaysfan Posted August 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I love the Empress deck... it's conveniently right in between the Lido and Promenade, and there are cabins above and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannago35 Posted August 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We just stayed on the Empress (Fantasy) & loved it! Convenient to everything on the ship, quiet except for folks running down the hall occassionally, which probably happens on every level from time to time.

jaixrx Posted August 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We stayed in our first Lido deck cabin this past April on the Freedom and loved it. Plan to book that deck from now on. We were worried it would be noisy but it wasn't a problem at all and we were right by the atrium elevators. Looks like you can't go wrong with either choice...happy cruising!

gapearl Posted August 4, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I stayed on the empress deck on my last 2 cruises, which were both on Fantasy class ships. My next cruise will also be on empress. The location is perfect. It's the deck used for embarkation/debarkation. Bar, laundry, and internet cafe are on this floor. If your room is towards the back, you have very easy access to the aft dining room (up 1 floor) and all the night life (up 2 floors). My vote is for empress. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slk09 Posted August 4, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Stayed on the Lido deck on the Dream and loved this location! Not noisy at all (we weren't near the elevators). Convienent location to everything though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISE4JANE Posted August 4, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Have always picked Empress (quiet, nothing but staterooms above and below), but definitely want to try Lido next time! We have the empress deck for upcoming cruise, (as the whole family is going and booked balconies on this deck), but I do want to try the lido on next cruise. I guess I like to be close to where the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texarribean Chick Posted August 4, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have been on the Glory twice. Once with Lido balcony and once with Empress balcony. I would choose the Lido, especially if you are poolside folk. It's not in the least bit "noisy" - as a matter of fact, you have less foot traffic in the Lido hallways than anywhere else, especially at night. Most people are down in the Promenade area, trying to get to the dining rooms, entertainment, etc. Lido cabins are really awesome because it allows you to go to your cabin conveniently from the pool areas. This comes in really handy for bathroom breaks, and re-filling any frosty cold beverage you might be enjoying. :D Have Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted August 4, 2011 #15 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We have the empress deck for upcoming cruise, (as the whole family is going and booked balconies on this deck), but I do want to try the lido on next cruise. I guess I like to be close to where the action is. Exactly my thinking :) especially when travelling with the kids. I couldn't book a balcony and a 3 person stateroom nearby on the Lido on the Liberty, will definitely do so the next time! Sounds perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms McCluck Posted August 4, 2011 #16 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Stayed on Lido on the Glory. Loved it. Didn't notice much foot traffic, or noise from the Lido. Will be on the Empress deck in January on the Miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooTycoon223 Posted August 5, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2011 We are deciding between The Glory and Legend and have almost decided on The Glory Love the Glory, good size, the seaside theatre is a plus. I would go with empress if you can. We wanted a room on Empress on the Liberty but they're all full. Oddly enough, the exact room we had on the Glory is available.

TakeMeAway1001 Posted August 5, 2011 #18 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Our first Lido deck balcony was on the Glory and we loved it, it was our favorite location so far. This Oct we're picked another Lido balcony on the Freedom and we can't wait! Have a great cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frito58 Posted August 5, 2011 #19 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Have always picked Empress (quiet, nothing but staterooms above and below), but definitely want to try Lido next time! My thoughts exactly , we always choose empress , what you said and great price as well. But really want to try the Lido deck next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mia10010 Posted August 6, 2011 #21 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We just came back from the Glory, and we had a balcony on Lido. It was perfect. There are cabins above and below, so there was no chair scraping, etc. It was so convenient to everything. Not all ships have cabins on the lido deck, but from now on, I will always book Lido if available. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayefan Posted August 6, 2011 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We love the Lido deck and never have experienced a noise problem. We have 5 balconies booked on the Lido for the Magic. We can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandms40 Posted August 6, 2011 #23 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We have book 9201 on the Conquest in Feb. 2012. Has anyone ever had this room, any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapycruiser Posted August 10, 2011 #24 Share Posted August 10, 2011 We have a LIDO balcony on the Glory on Oct 24. We plan to bring a small soft sided cooler onboard. Will they allow us to bring it out to the pool to keep our water and sodas cold or is that a no-no ??:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
