Best "regular" (not cove) balcony level on Carnival Breeze?

[Joliving4Jesus]

Me and my family are about to book a Sept cruise on the Carnival Breeze, we originally wanted a cove balcony but we're traveling with many family members and there are no 3 or 4 people interior rooms left on deck 2 where the coves are for family and we want to be near each other so we're forced to go with a regular balcony, more money but we want to be near family and family wants to go cheap with interior rooms. So what level would be the best for a regular balcony? I was looking at deck 7 or 8 because they are only surrounded above and below other rooms and nothing like a dinning room or buffet area where we might have noise, but I am not sure if those are the best levels, suggestions? We've only done cove balconies on carnival so we're not sure about regular balconies, thanks!

your absolutely right, deck 7 or 8 where there are only rooms above and below you.

deck 9 has lido noise and deck 6 has theater and casino/club noise

safest bet is 7 or 8

We love Lido deck balconies. Always been quiet and close to elevators. Of course everything on Lido is just steps away. Very easy to bring food and drink back to your room.

Another vote for Lido

We just got off the Breeze and we were on Deck 7 near the Aft. Location was fantastic and we had a great view as the promenade narrows near the back of the ship. Therefore, you have a great view from your balcony.

Also, since we were near the back of the boat, minimal foot traffic:cool:

My choice every time on a Dream class ship is deck 8, midships, near the elevator. It is not noisy and it is so convenient to everything.

 

The elevator near our cabin goes up to the entrance to the Lido, down to the Casino, down close to the front dining room and it's only half the walk to the rear dining room. We have always stayed on decks sandwiched between passenger decks. My husband used a walker, so we didn't use stairs. There wasn't a lot of motion to the ship there either.

 

One other positive for me on deck 8 is that I could sit on the balcony and see the sea, whereas on decks 6 and 7, unless I would be standing up, I'd see the lanai deck that goes all around the ship. I also prefer to be on port side, but have sailed on starboard a few times.

Have to agree with Decks 7 & 8 as far as location, and also agree with aft of ship near rear stairs. The lanai doesn't extend out as far in this location and you do have a better view of the water from your balcony. We really like being near the rear stairs so quick trip up to lido for food and drinks. Like stated above there is a lot less foot traffic at the back of the ship versus midship also. Good luck with your choice and hope you have a great cruise with family and friends!

Just got off the breeze last Sunday and we had an aft deck room 9478 best balcony we have ever had. The views were stunning and no noise in the hallway.

[Joliving4Jesus]

Thanks everyone, unfortunately most of the aft is all booked up so we're going to have to go mid or front of the ship, I am calling shortly to see what I can find because from past experience I don't think as much availability shows up online that is actually available.

I was on deck 9 Aft (9447) and it was such a great location. There was no noise from the Lido deck and it was great to be only a floor away from Lido as well as on the same end as the MDR, Limelight Lounge, Piano Bar, etc.

Another vote for lido! There is minimal to zero lido noise and you absolutely cannot beat the location!

[Joliving4Jesus]

I was on the phone for an hour and a half and finally found rooms close together on a location I liked, we booked aft on deck 8, lido was booked for what we needed and 9 aft and 7 aft booked, so hopefully we like 8 aft, thank you all for the help!

Off the Breeze on Sunday, 1/24. We had balcony room 8442 and loved it! Not much foot traffic. Close to stairway. Never use elevators as we prefer to get the extra work out. Few flights up to Lido, few flights down to Promenade. You will love this ship! If you read any negatives, don't believe them. Food, service, décor, etc. Everything was wonderful!

[Joliving4Jesus]

Thank you for your input, we are in 8431 balcony room so quite close to where you were, glad you had a good experience there, can't wait to go on the breeze!

Have you considered a large balcony cabin? I stayed in 6468 and loved it! There are interiors across the hall for the kids :)
