Whats the difference between cabins on each deck?

[*Blonde*]

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are going on our first cruise for our honeymoon in January 2008. We got a brochure from P&O and are wondering what the difference is between the two different types of outside rooms on each deck. Eg: what is the difference between having a Baja deck (EE) outside cabin or having a Baja deck (E) outside cabin - there is a $40 difference?

 

Only thing we can tell is that the EE is in the middle of the ship. Is this better than being in an E cabin and being at the front or the back?

 

Hope this makes sense!! :confused:

I guess the the midships cabins tend to have less feeling of movement, especially in rougher seas, and less noise from engines, anchor chains, services etc, so they are deemed to be slightly lesser grade cabins.

Hi Sherrie,

 

In my experience, the mid ships cabins are generally regarded as being best for least motion, then aft, then forward. It all depends on the ship, but I think you can rely on that as a general rule. Also some cabins are over or under public rooms and can suffer from noise.

 

We haven't been on this ship, but putting myself in your shoes I wouldn't choose a Baja Deck forward cabin as they are under the Pacific Show Lounge. :(

 

We always sail midships, so thats what I recommend.:) :)

 

Bon voyage and happy honeymoon.;)
