my poor neighbors

[picantel]

I was talking to them last night and they told me they would be on the sunshine in a couple of weeks. When I asked them what deck they were on they said the carnival agent told them deck 3 was good so they took it. The only rooms on deck 3 are forward under the stage/liquid lounge. Has anyone stayed there and will this be as bad as I think it is? Back in May I went on the sunshine and some guy was at guest relations literally screaming at them because he was deck 3 and the noise kept him up all night.

Its a first cruise? they have nothing to compare it to so they should be ok.

 

a cruise within a couple of weeks might not have anywhere where they can move to

It's hard when people book without doing research, and trust the word and opinion of a TA or Rep (who may have never cruised). This is the prime reason I book on-line, directly with Carnival after doing my research on the ship, itinerary and looked at a good set of deck plans.

 

Is it possible for them to change locations ?? Even an inside on Lido is preferable to their current location. If not, suggest a good set of ear plugs...maybe they are night owls and it won't bother them.

I would agree that these aren't the best cabins, but unless they're in the middle group of 4C cabins, they could be okay, especially in the 4Js along the sides and the ones closer to the excursion and guest services desks, or even the very front 4Cs

This cruiser was happy with the 4J. Looking at the deck plans, they aren't all bad. Depends on which cabin your neighbor booked. Hope it works out for them.

Advise your neighbor to keep the curtains closed when they are in their rooms. There may be people outside their room and can easily see in both day and night. :eek:

They will be fine....do NOT involve yourself in their vacation! The more info you give them, the less they will enjoy the discovery process. Wish them well, and then, be quiet!

The problem is the lounge becomes a nightclub, and it sounds like they didn't sound proof that area, especially where they put the new cabins.

You stated "they took it". So, what cabin did they "take"? Apparently it wasn't a guarantee, so that means what you saw as cabins available wouldn't even apply.

Your "poor neighbors"? How about my "poor neighbors" who will NOT be on a cruise ship in 2 weeks, they will be going to work instead!

This is the best answer so far.

A "So Called Bad Cabin" on a cruise is better than a day at work any day.....

I have not heard good things about these cabins. Yes when the liquid lounge becomes a nightclub you'll hear thumping bass in those cabins. Unless they are night owls they should switch.

Unfortunately, they did NOT ask for your opinion so it's probably best to just let them find out for themselves. ;)

Actually they did since I have been on many cruises and they have not.

We've had friends ask us about their first cruises as well. Our answers have always been, "We don't want to spoil the surprise for you. Go experience and have fun."
