Thanks for the info. We only booked this cabin for the VIP check-in. On another board we heard a lot about the cabannas on HMC and wanted to get in line early. LOL Probably could have done this with regular balcony but now no stress. DH and I are going for our 20th anniversy and decided spend a little and enjoy ourselfs.

 

cant you book the cabana online when it gets closer to your sailing?

You cannot reserve the HMC cabins through Carnival until you board. You can on HAL. I'm not sure why Carnival doesn't do this. I can't justify the price (since it's usually just me and DD, but now I'm sailing solo). I'm heading back to HMC in about 5 weeks! I rent a clamshell, and since I'll be solo, I'll be able to use one chair to prop up the back to get some airflow.

 

Anyway...

 

I've been under dining rooms on both Glory and, uh, a Fantasy-class ship (can't remember which one). Absolutely no noise. Been under the shops, too. No noise from there, either.

 

Where you don't want to be is under the galley!

Since I am doing a group- (I think we are going to HMC)

I wonder if it would be a good thing to see if the group would like to go in using that cabana--although at a 100. a pop I know I would not do it- :D

DH and I are taking our first cruise 5/20/10 on Carnival Fascination, room M250. It is an 8A balcony room. Any info on this cabin or one in this area. I know that it's on the main deck and being so low and in the back that we will hear engine noises and feel vibration, but is it really so bad that it is intolerable? What are these balconies like (covered or not)? Also, what is cruising in May like (kids galore or what)? I'm full of questions. lol. Thanks in advance for any info, advice or tips.

We sailed on the Sensation in M247 (inside cabin) sister to the Facination.

We had a lot of shuddering/vibration when entering or leaving a port- not a big deal for us.

Some people report that the noise of the wake is very loud- Myself, I find it very relaxing-(i also sleep with a fan all year round)

Never had the experience of a balcony on this class of ship- would love to see pictures of one. (i can only imagine how narrow they are)

 

I suggest getting yourself to the main carnival board and start reading

thx. I've been there too and had no luck with anyone that had stayed in any of them. All I could get was the noise and vibration, but I also sleep with a fan year round because I live near a highway and have to block out some of the cars and loud music. But I'm a firm believer in ear plugs, no matter where I go.

Thank you Serene, I appreciate you answering my question. Thankyou for the advice to get the machines turned down. I guess I won't be worried so much now.

 

 

Caro....can you let us know what the noise level was like?

Hello! I am planning a 5 day on the Sensation.... on my own so I am thinking of a 1A but not sure since they are all the way up front. I dont mind the walk but its I am just not sure about noise, both ship and overhead and neighbors? (as in the hallway really)

Anyone ever have rooms on Lido Deck 9264 or 9266

 

 

the photos you see online of a balcony cabin is what your cabin will look like.

Great access to the elevators for when you want to go to the shows etc.. which will be right there-- casino /lounges will be on deck 5.

 

food/pools are on the same deck.

Rooms Not To Book - NORWEIGAN PEARL:

 

11524, Penthouse AB - Directly under the free weights and weight machine in the gym. Absolutely disturbing - and until NCL decides to curb the gym's 24 hour operation, they will definitely get more complaints. We also had mini suite 11526 for our daughters, which also heard the noise, but not quite as loud as the master bedroom. Our friends were in 11522 and 11520 and they were also disrupted (these are mini suites).

It took NCL Pearl staff 4 days to close the gym at 10pm. Ridiculous.

 

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

 

That's our room :eek::eek: Hopefully, they will be closing at 10 on OUR cruise. Wow.

We are booked for room #1244 towards the front of the Carnival Conquest on the Riviera Deck. Any feedback?

 

Man, I wish I'd have found these boards before booking!

 

 

You can change your cabin at any time-- as long as their is availabity.

 

1244 is too forward for me- long walks to get to the food/pools every day= sometimes twice a day. (I like the orange rooms towards the aft (back) of the ship- closer to stuff.

 

Riveria deck is a good deck= low and midship is where you want to be.

 

another thing i dont like about your cabin== its in the middle of cabins that hold 4 people each-- (I dont know when you are sailing) but if its during a time that kids sail-- it could hold 4 kids. (yikes)

but see that a lot of the cabins that hold 2 people are the same way.

 

Check prices- look for free upgrades- avoid any of those cabins under the galley- Dining room is fine since it is carpeted so no noise

Was wondering if you could help me locate awesome cabins, sailing on the glory, we need two balconies that are able to be connected, and not way too much noise, with 2 people in each cabin, and then a 3rd inside cabin for 3 close by...... Can't afford a suite, so just reg balconies for us.

 

Was thinking upper deck, but paranoid because of the noise, so maybe empress deck?

 

any help would be spectacular.............

7411 connects to 7409 (awesome location. ) 2 different categories though.

 

are these children in the cabins? or all adults?
