13th floor inside or 5th floor ocean view

[gabbo18]

Hi All,

 

I'm about to set sail on my first cruise ever next month on the Breakaway and looking for some opinions regarding the rooms itself.

 

I'm currently booked on the 13th floor at the front end of the ship, but for $30 pp more, I can go on the 5th floor with a mid ocean view room.

 

Just looking for some insight before I make the call.

 

Thanks!

I'd certainly change for an extra $30. I was in an Oceanview on the Breakaway and it was a nice room.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I am currently booked in an OV on deck 5 on the breakaway and I'm a little nervous about being that low. Is deck 5 an ok location?

[RJ2002]

For that amount of money, I'd pick the ocean view room. JMO.

Don't know how many in your party, but the 5th deck family oceanview is really big (with a tub). It was larger than our balcony room on deck 13. The bathroom was more comfortable too.

 

If we go back on the Breakaway, we are considering doing one of the family ocean views over the balcony.

not sure megsok7, but I'd like to know too :p

floor really does not matter much

 

Getting a view does.

 

Not sure why being on deck would make someone nervous?

Personally, I'd stay on 13 just for the location. Being closer to the pool area is nice if you go back to your room very often throughout the day. Again, it's a personal choice. You can't go wrong, you are at sea. Enjoy

I would take the ocean view

DECK 5 IS GREAT!!

Stayed in ov room 5726 on breakaway and it was great.

More spacious feeling than our friends mini suite. Inside rooms are very small

When in port, only one flight to gangway, and only one flight up to 678 with all the action

The lower on the ship, the less movement felt

Safe sailing

Was previously on breakaway in haven 2 bedroom suite on deck 16.... Gorgeous but just came back from 9 day on gem... 2 people in deck5 oceanview there was plenty of room, not too low....definitely would go with oceanview over inside cabin ....

[gabbo18]

thanks for all the replies, looks like the ocean view wins over the inside view

 

now time to double check with the significant other lol :P

5734

 

5796

 

5812

 

5814

[KeithJenner]

I was in 5804 and the location was excellent. Taste is directly above, and I heard no noise from there and I wasn't far from the stairs, giving easy access to 678.

 

That isn't available, but 5812 and 5814 are actually just a bit closer to the stairs, so would potentially be even better.

 

The only potential issue with them is that they are connecting rooms, which some say can be a problem if you have noisy neighbours, as the door isn't as soundproof as a wall. I've stayed in connecting rooms before though without any problem.

I would definitely go for the oceanview, since I need to have natural light and see outside.

 

Also, on deck five midship, you'll feel less motion than on deck 13 forward.

[gabbo18]

Thanks again for all the opinions.

 

Booking the ocean view today :)

Low and midship the deck 5 is the Smoothest ride on the ship .:)

 

High and forward have the Most motion .

[artist47]

First I should say I have NOT sailed on that ship. BUT:

 

I have cruised on all different decks, cabin sizes, etc. I would go for the 5th deck oceanview also --- reason: It will probably be quieter more often than not.

 

The closer you are to public areas, the noisier it gets and cabins are not exactly sound proof.

Just my two pesos.

to say: NOT sailed on...

[gabbo18]

Called them today and got a free upgrade to a balcony!

 

My first cruise is going to be sweet! :)
