Ships R Great Posted May 3, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2004 We were 8 cabins from the front on the Zenith last month. It was very interesting. The ship would go up and then SLAM!!!! down with a great shudder and a sound like an explosion. I felt like we were in a battle zone. This only happened when the ship was moving very fast. When we were trolling along it was better. But, never again! <marquee width = 45%> Century Nov/00---Norway June/01---Monarch Oct/01---Grandeur Nov/01---Mercury May/02---Horizon Feb/03---Century July/03---Zenith Nov/03---Zenith Apr/04---Constellation Sept/04</marquee> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseyguy Posted May 3, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I've spent a lot of time in the gym on the Connie (at the front of the ship above deck 9) and never noticed any "extra" movement. These are huge ships and I can't imagine them slamming against the waves like a motorboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo23 Posted May 3, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hornsea We are in 8014 ,not too far from your cabin,did you book with Gills by the way ? There are a couple of other cruisers on our ship that did and they seem to block book cabin space with celebrity for cruises. Hope the weather is o.k.The trip was without incident when we took it last year on the norwegian dream,but we were on deck five amidships.Even the north sea was not much of an issue.The pool was doing somersaults when we had dinner one night but it didn't really bother us .The modern ships have good stabilisers these days and the constellation is much newer than the dream,so I hope we will be O.k.

Marytutor Posted May 3, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2004 We are in 9009, very far front. Hope you are correct that Connie is big enough to sail smoothly. We leave here on the 12th to spend two nights in London and then a week in a Cotswolds cottage to enjoy the area of my where my father's family lived.

The Connie is a bit bigger than the Zenith though, so hopefully won't be a problem!

Shirley and Les Posted May 4, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2004 ShipsRGreat, What deck on the Zenith? We have been in the theatre on the Horizon with some pretty good stem to stern action and really haven't heard any noise or felt any shuddering.

gregg4 Posted May 4, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2004 We had a forward cabin on the Infinity. I hope you don't have any tender ports. When they let loose the anchor it will wake you up. Otherwise it was a smooth sail and that was 4 nights across the Pacific. Enjoy!

Gr8Cruisin' Posted May 4, 2004 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2004 The only thing I can see wrong about the front of the ship is it's a long ways from the eating areas. However the exercise getting back and forth to the munchies may be a blessing. Enjoy where you cruise and cruise when you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ships R Great Posted May 4, 2004 #14 Share Posted May 4, 2004 We were on deck 6, just under the theater. The noise was worst in the middle of the night. I think the captain was trying to make up for the leisurely pace during the day. <marquee width = 45%> Century Nov/00---Norway June/01---Monarch Oct/01---Grandeur Nov/01---Mercury May/02---Horizon Feb/03---Century July/03---Zenith Nov/03---Zenith Apr/04---Constellation Sept/04</marquee> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbook Posted May 5, 2004 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi Jimbo, We were in 8002 on Summit in Mid-April. Check your deck plan, and you will see that you can't get farther forward on that deck. No real problems even in 8 foot seas. We noticed roll much more than pitch. It is longer to the dining room and buffet , but the Spa Cafe is pretty close, so you can stop and pcik something up to tide you over on the long trek aft to the regular dining areas! 8002 is a great room and is VERY large.

Marytutor Posted May 6, 2004 #16 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Jim, The good thing about our forward area is that there probably won't be long wiats for the elevator. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
