CatladyG68 Posted August 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Pros/Cons of being on the lower Riviera Deck of the Fantasy--We will be a party of 3. Someone else made the booking. I see we are on the Carnival Fantasy Riviera Deck, basically the first deck? Are there problems with this? Also is there a good site to look for the possibilities of an upgrade. Thanks all.

Quilcruisers Posted August 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We love riviera deck or main deck, it has always been our preference. If mid ship, very comfortable ride, and we often walk the short flights of stairs to get up to dining rooms, casino, promenade, atrium. If we are first floor aft, we always ride the elevator straight up to pizza and walk across to lido activities. I guess you can say I have no cons about anywhere in the ship. And when returning from port, we just take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator, just one deck up.

scpirate Posted August 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Pros: less motion of the ocean. Elevator takes you anywhere.you have to figure out which ones are less popular though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridafunlady Posted August 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2018 My very first cruise back in the 90's was on Fantasy mid ship Riviera deck ocean view. It was perfect. Sent from my SM-G920T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana Posted August 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I love Fantasy-class ships. To save money on them I choose porthole rooms... price of an inside with a view to the outside, best of both worlds. Riviera deck is great. Even with a full window, I love being low. It's stable, even at the front with the portholes. The perspective is awesome, so close to the sea. The only time I have experienced any discomfort was when I had a room at the aft and the engine vibrations were pretty strong coming into and leaving port, but that wouldn't keep me from booking that location again. .

SadieN Posted August 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Last cruise, on one of her sisters, we were the last inside cabin on Riviera deck. Very quiet location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can'tWait2SetSail Posted August 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Due to my seasickness, we usually book this deck, mid-ship. We take the stairs to get a little extra exercise in. It is fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrystine5 Posted August 8, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2018 We booked mid ship deck one ocean view last cruises and loved it. We always take the stairs and I really felt like I earned all that extra food! ;P Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 9, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2018 We are in the very last Inside Riviera Deck Cabin on one of the sisters. Very quiet. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMBB Posted August 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Agree with others - this is my favorite location to book (especially interior cabins - love the dark and quiet! Best sleep ever!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthrn27 Posted August 11, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Almost always book Riviera. Never have to worry too much about noise from above; Only other cabins above, no dining areas, nightclubs, etc....

not_anna Posted August 21, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Cruised midship R131 last week. It was great - easy to get off the ship on port days, quiet, and easy to get to wherever we needed to be. My biggest complaint is that at the elevator banks, there is no "ding" or sound to let you know the elevator has come, so if you're looking one way, you may miss the open elevator behind you. Only issue we had on this cruise was a flood in our shower but that was resolved within an hour and followed up on by guest services. I would definitely recommend the Riviera deck. We had a lovely view of the water, not too close to our window and no obstructions with things like lifeboats as we've had on other cruises.
