Empress cabin help?

[LeslieSJ]

Hi - is there a website or other way to find out which cabins might be quietest? We're booking RCI's Empress of the Seas July 2007 to Bermuda and I want to make sure we're not right under/over/next to a nightclub or other loud spot. I've been reading that being on deck 9 under the pool is a mistake, for example.

Anywhere to get good advice, other than a travel agent? Thanks!

I find the webmaps hard to use, so stopped in the TA's office and picked up the flyer with the floorplan for each deck . I think they will soon be printing them in their booklets. Our TA has a stack of floorplans for each ship. ( that they took them out was a very stupid move- and they quickly found that out!)

I assume you were looking on DEck 9at the Jr. Suites...yes, they are under the pool area- where I certainly wouldn't want to be!

There is a floorplan on the RCI website. I just checked to see what was near above and below my cabin.

 

Most of the stuff on the ship that I would worry about is on decks 5, 6 and 10 (clubs, bars, casino, pool, etc.). The main dining room is decks 4 and 5 in the aft. Double check that you are not right next to, above or below these areas if you are concerned.

Under the pool deck might be noisy. We had an aft jr. suite above the ping-pong/mini-golf area and below more cabins. We never heard anything from above, below, and there was never any foot traffic in the hall. Of course, the trade-off was having a long walk to just about everything.
