Is there any way you can change your cabin? If this category is not sold out, I would recommend choosing a cabin that is NOT under the galley, based on an Intel, lol! The Galley cabins AND connecting cabins tend to be a bit loud, so I would advise a change!

Forward Cove Balconies are quiet. We have booked them 3 times.

Last week last minute decided to go on the Breeze next month, the only thing available were cove balconies also....I always have stayed in regular balcony cabins but had no choice (my father in law is coming so we need two cabins close together) and I just have this fear being on the bottom of the ship, so low but there were no other cabin options to choose from.  From what I read of others staying in that area they heard all types of noises, but put it this way, at least we are on the ship!  My cabins are 2441 and 2439.  😣

We are in one under the atrium next week, anyone know how noises it will be?

Music and crowd noise may drift down into the corridors close to the front elevators.

 

I think if you are aft of 2264 port side, or 2289 starboard, your cabin should be fine.

 

Many people prefer those cabins.

I hope you enjoy.  The Breeze is a beautiful ship with a great crew.  And I LOVE the port side cove balconies.

Then what is the ideal cove balcony? Where you get the best of both worlds with minimal ocean spray?

That's obviously a matter of opinion and weather conditions.

 

In cove balconies I look for a non-connecting cabin for two, forward of the mid ship elevators, port side.

 

I like the convenience of being as close as possible, but forward of, the mid ship elevators.

 

Another poster here whose opinion and knowledge I greatly respect, prefers close to the atrium elevators.

 

I think many people overthink cabin choices.  My cardinal rules are simple:

 

What can I afford this cruise that isn't above or below the galley or the workout/gym area or areas with sound systems.  I haven't yet had a cabin I wouldn't stay in again.

We were on the Dream in room 2268 and had a good experience and really liked it's location and experienced no noise from the lobby area above. In addition 2268 did not not have a life boat above it and I believe 2264 does not have one either. As far as I know this should be the same room numbering layout as the Breeze and Magic. It was far enough back that the spray wasn't bad, only a slight wetness on railing at times when seas were a little rough.

I am looking at cabin 2262 on the Magic. It is adjacent to cabin 2264, so would you recommend it? Also, would there be a lifeboat above 2262?

Does the port vs starboard side really matter? Why? I'm in 2353 in the Horizon and based on luggage tag that's starboard. Also I'm under the dining room midship so that should be quiet after 10pm?

I can't remember for sure, but I think 2262 maybe under the back end of one of the lifeboats. Maybe someone else will chime in to verify this for sure. Sorry about that. I will post back if I find anymore info. I know someone had a video on youtube about those cabins, I can see if I can find it.

 

Here it is, at about the 3:00 minute mark she talks about the lifeboats. She is actually in 2264 on the Breeze.
