augies Posted August 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Would you chose mini suite E718 or balcony room A420 for Alaska cruise? E718 is over Club Fusion and I'm afraid of the noise. Both are on port side. Thanks, Eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Patches Posted August 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I would take the Emerald mini suite. I love the extra room in the mini suite bathroom and the sitting area. Your balcony will also be larger than an Aloha balcony cabin. The only reports of noise in the Emerald mini suites are the last 2-3 cabins on the portside and directly over the Club Fusion stage. I have not heard of any noise reports in E718. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off2China Posted August 30, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2011 For me, definitely E718 and for the same reasons Princess Patches mentioned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiRon Posted August 30, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2011 No doubt at all - for me it would be E718. Love those mini-suites with the fully covered large balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted August 30, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You will not be bothered by Club Fusion. The cabins further back on the port side may hear a BIT from Club Fusion, but it's not bad at all. Take the covered mini!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 30, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2011 No doubt at all - for me it would be E718. Love those mini-suites with the fully covered large balcony.No contest. An AD mini-suite which will be very quiet and private (you won't hear anything from Club Fusion unless you're one of the last two cabins on the port side) any day of the week. The Aloha balcony cabin is the same size as an oceanview cabin and you'd have a small (9'x4') balcony. Plus, it's under a public deck and you'll hear people walking, power washing avery early in the morning, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted August 31, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hands down take that mini-suite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted August 31, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2011 My choice would be neither of those. While a Mini is nice for the extra space, I have found that there's not a huge benefit to have 2 TVs that are essentially in the same room. The bathroom has a tub, but the higher tub side makes climbing in and out a bit dicey, especially if the ride is "bumpy". I only sat on the sofa long enough to do my daily emailings to my family. MY first choice for an AK cruise is an aftward (as in C 700-something) Caribe balcony cabin. The large half-covered balcony is the best for enjoying the views and for photo taking ...... When it was a drizzly day, I was able to be out there as much as I wanted to. We even did the Ultimate Balcony Breakfast on a "scenic cruising" morning, in a light rain, without getting wet. And we had the uncovered portion of the balcony for when the sun broke through the clouds for a lovely sunny afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
