luvtojump Posted June 9, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Am considering a Costa cruise over Thanksgiving on the Atlantica. This would be for two adults and our 14 year old son. There are three different types of suites. (each priced within $200 pp of eachother.) They are also located mid and aft. Could anyone please help me with which suite to choose and which location. Also, is deck 8 noisy with the pool above?? Thank you. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocktheboat Posted June 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I was in the Panorama suite(6176) mid ship. Cabin was a nice size, we never felt like we were tripping over each other, the bathroom was bigger than ours at home. They only thing I didn't care for was the life boats were right under our balcony. Well not under, if we looked over the balcony all we saw was life boats. It was still a great cabin and balcony, would book this cabin again. I loved the balcony, it was a nice size. On one of the sea days we ordered room service for lunch. The butler brought it and served it on the balcony, I loved it. We were mid ship, never felt the ship rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta421sBtrHalf Posted June 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2004 The suites were definitly big, I don't know about 4 people but there were two adults and one kid and we had plenty of room in our room. For some reason, when we try to get a grand suite they say there is no triple or quad occupancy availible, only double. The Panoramic suite will probably be your best option seeing how they only have a few regular suites and they are about as big as a regular room.

Ta421sBtrHalf Posted June 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2004 My bad, I misread your post as saying that you had two teens traveling. You should be fine.

CruisinMatt Posted June 10, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've been in S category on deck 4, which is a HUGE room but small balcony. We were last in Grand Suite aft on deck 8. Separate bedroom and living room. The balcony is huge, but people from the pool deck can look down and see about 1/4 of your balcony. We rarely heard any noise.

luvtojump Posted June 10, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thank you for all your replies. I have a brochure and also called Costa but still could not get specific information about layout etc. We are holding a GS on deck 8 aft. Think we'll keep it. In appreciation.

bethcollins Posted June 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2004 We were on the Costa Med on deck 8, and we definitely could hear noise from the deck above. We were in a cat. 10 and directly under the pool area. The chairs being moved around were somewhat of an annoyance, so if you think that would bother you, and can get a suite elsewhere, I would avoid it. 'til the Mariner of the Seas!

lilrod Posted June 20, 2004 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I had an upgrade to a Panorama Suite on the 6th floor in the mid ship and on the whole week we didn't heard not even the people of the next cabin. We had a huge balcony. The suite is big and even for 4 persons, you will have space. You will love it as I did. Lilrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamaLee Posted June 25, 2004 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I saw this same cruise in an email with balconies for $599. Does anyone know what agency was offering this special? I can't find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ We didn't hear a thing in our aft suite on deck 8, I think it all depends on the location of the cabin and where the traffic flows are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
