bigmommairb Posted April 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2014 When choosing a room is there a deck or area you would NOT pick ?? Anyone have experience with doing 2 rooms and having carnival choose rooms in order to get a better price? Like a super saver rate?? Was it worth it??

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I personally like to stay away from the decks that have public areas above or below my cabin. I like to have cabins above and below me. If the price was significantly better I would let Carnival pick for me though, but I would have to be saving a decent amount of money to do it.

dd2355 Posted April 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2014 May not matter if you tend to be up 'til 3am every night, but I don't pick rooms close to elevators or stairs where people would tend to stand around talking loudly. If on Empress deck, I avoid being close to the atrium for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted April 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) It's generally a good policy to avoid decks with bars, restaurants, galleys, or other public spaces above or below or open decks above. I also generally avoid the lowest passenger deck only because it's difficult to know what crew areas are beneath a given cabin. Try to pick a cabin that has other cabins above and below, and you should be fine. Oh and personally I would never book a "guarantee" cabin. Spend the extra few dollars to make sure that you're happy with your assignment. Edited April 14, 2014 by gtalum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have experience with doing 2 rooms and having carnival choose rooms in order to get a better price? Like a super saver rate?? Was it worth it?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I like cabins on decks that have cabins above and below them. Although, recently I had a cabin directly below the gift shops and heard no noise from above. Just be aware that if you need 2 cabins and are letting Carnival chose your cabin, there is a chance that the 2 cabins may be far apart from one another, even on different decks. And in letting Carnival choose your cabin, you get "leftovers". The cabins that others did not choose. The last time that I let them choose my cabin, I ended up on the lowest deck in the very first cabin forward. It was noisy ALL the time and vibrated to the point of things fall off the bathroom counter continually. Never again---now, I ALWAYS pick my cabin.

wb3690 Posted April 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 14, 2014 last cruise we wanted adjoining rooms...only ones we were told were left were over the casino. I heard different reports. I will say it was loud! However I didn't care and still slept good. I will not book there again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGirl57 Posted April 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I have let Carnival pick my room several times to save a few bucks. I always ended up on deck 2 - fine with me, I like it there. My DH and I brought his family on a cruise once and let Carnival pick the rooms. We were not "close" to each other, but it doesn't really matter. You can always call the other cabin on the phone if you want (it is free to another cabin). Of course, there are reasons you would want to be close (kids, watching older adults, etc), but we didn't have a problem with it.

BettyPC Posted April 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2014 As has been stated - I like my cabin - over & under other cabins. Our Personal Vacation Planner has helped us also with picking a room that is not near a BABY (3 to a cabin)... Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted April 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2014 We are also fans of being sandwiched between cabins. We haven't booked two rooms as GTYs before, but we were given complimentary upgrades for two cabins and we were placed on opposite sides of the ship. We were on 8 Aft and Mom was on 7 Forward on the Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Usually between two passenger decks. Definitely avoid connecting cabins when not traveling with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted April 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Same as most of those above. Definitely avoid cabins above/below the galley, and those cabins close to the theater. (Some ships have cabins on the same deck as the forward lounge. (Spirit Class) I stay at least 10 or so cabins aft from that lounge, on the Riviera Deck.) NEVER take a cabin right above, or below any of the clubs. They too, play loud music very late at times. :eek: "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
