okCmeNwater Posted November 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2013 A couple, cruising the day after Christmas 4 days. We're fully aware of holliday/children/crowds so no need to bombard me w/ "why this" and "why that", just hoping someone might know of a couple quiet/relaxing spots around the ship they've found? sun or not :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sandinmyshoes Posted November 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Best bet is usually your stateroom balcony. If you have noisy neighbors just be polite and tell them you are reading or something and they will usually be accommodating. Have fun! That's still a great time to cruise even if you are looking for peace on earth. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okCmeNwater Posted November 8, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Balcony is a must for sure. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seannyice81 Posted November 8, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The outside forward decks below the bridge "secret decks." Pitch black at night allowing you to see all the stars after your eyes adjust. Just know that all the crew on the bridge can see you if you're feeling romantic.

GayleR Posted November 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2013 If you want fresh air, go to deck 3 and head outside. There are loungers there and hardly anyone goes out there. It's close to the water line and it's quiet. It's kind of like having a large balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seannyice81 Posted November 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) didnt realize it was dark at night there. Have to give it a try Its VERY dark (no forward lighting for navigation, all forward-facing cabins must have curtains shut, no flashlights). Be very careful at first, because its difficult to see when you first step out. Once you're out there, your eyes adjust, and you see all the stars, its worth it! One of the main reasons I book forward cabins. Edited November 8, 2013 by seannyice81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's close to the water line and it's quiet. It's kind of like having a large balcony. This is my vote also. We got a drink from the bar & sat out there watching the sunset. There was 1 other family out there but they were at the other end of the chairs, very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 9 (Lido) is one deck above the bridge. This is my favorite forward deck because of the two wings overhanging each side of the ship. Picture is from Carnival Valor, which should be very similar.

maldenmusic Posted November 8, 2013 #14 Share Posted November 8, 2013 When we were on the Triumph our cabin was on the Lido deck forward. We liked to go out to the small deck at the very front of the ship. Hardly anyone was ever out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the side of the ship from the bridge wings is cool at night. Deck 6 and 7 are better for stargazing, I've found.

Rare to see anyone out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
