Ventura - Cinnamon or Saffron for freedom dining?

[Cardiff girl]

Is there much difference between Cinnamon on 5 and Saffron on 6 for freedom dining on Ventura? On sister ship Azura I was told the lower one was calmer as the one above was closer to the theatre, etc. They serve the same food, they look the same - any reason to pick one over the other? 

Thanks in advance.

You will be allocated to one or other of the two, shown on a card when you reach your cabin. They are both about the same really but if you want to change, you will need to ask at reception.

On Azura in February you could choose go to either of the two freedom dining restaurants.

It was the same in January - I tried both and used the lower one at busier times.

Not sure which deck has the galley, but I would imagine that deck will have faster service.

We used both on Azura. Both were pretty good.

We were on Ventura over Easter and had the choice of either.  We used both but preferred Cinnamon as had better service in there.  The virtual queues were also slightly shorter for Cinnamon most nights.  The lower location probably means less people requesting a table as a walk up here too.
