Gingee Posted April 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2008 My TA just sent me this information. He has a tentative hold on room 10630 on the Spirit. I can't find a decent picture of where it is on the ship? Too far back to feel vibrations and such? Too high in the ship? Any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted April 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2008 i still don't know what your worry is for being too high? if you are worried about being sea sick...low and mid-ship is best, but then you would be in an inside cabin? the cabin you are asking about has cabins below and above, that is good. you have asked about vibrations...that comes from the engine..it's more of a rumbling, it's a normal thing even before the engine problems in december. when in the rear of the ship, you can feel the little rumbling along the floor and when leaning on the railings. the only time i noticed it was leaning on the railings, sitting in the buffet or in the casino (lower deck and all the way foreward). cabin 10630 is just one deck up and a couple of cabins aft of where my cabin was...and i loved that location. you are near the aft elevators, easy to get up/down to the other decks. you won't have to do the long walk down the hallways. straight up those elevators/stairs to the buffet or la trattoria...straight down to windows. looks like a good location to me.

susanema Posted April 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Any info on Spirit cabin 9086? It looks like the life boats are right below us. They won't obstruct our view will they? And if the boats are needed, we're golden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted April 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2008 when looking over the balcony, i never noticed the life boats... they are in their own area...they don't stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted April 12, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted April 12, 2008 As you can see, I have been on other cruises before so I am not new to cruising. Sometimes when the ship is kind of "wavy", it kind of scares me like we are going to fly over or something. So that is why I don't like to go any higher up than I can but I do want a balcony. Only had a window once. Tried balcony next and next went back. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted April 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I see no real problem with either location: 9086 is just above the life boats but you will not be looking straight down, rather you will be looking out toward the sea and the ports. As for 10630, yes, mid ship, on a lower deck is less likely to be rough, but I love aft cabins. Your location should be fine. Ir has to be pretty rough for you to feel a lot of motion inside the ship. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiedustdawn Posted April 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I love that room location!! I find the Aft of the ship is where you don't feel that "Sea sick motion" like in the foward part of the ship. You have the best side of the ship also. You will love it. You have the option of two different elevators to choose from, that is also a plus. You chose prime location as far as I am concerned.

welikepalms Posted April 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2008 My TA just sent me this information. He has a tentative hold on room 10630on the Spirit. I can't find a decent picture of where it is on the ship? Too far back to feel vibrations and such? Too high in the ship? Any experience? We will be on the Spirit tomorrow for the week. We will be in Cabin 10636 and my Mom will be in 10632, (right beside the cabin you have questions about.) I will post exactly how it was next week when we get back. Hopefully we have nothing but wonderful things to tell. Happy Cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(am going nuts waiting!!) It was great to hear that we will be in a prime location and that the motion will not be bad. I have checked everywhere for info on that. our only other cruise we had an ocean view mid ship on the next to lowest deck. I didn't think it was bad at all but was (am) a little nervous about being so high and aft. Your post helped!! Just curious why this is the best side of the ship?? Happy cruising.

Gingee Posted April 13, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I never know which is the best side as far as when you dock. Norweigen will be new to me. I'm not sure if I will like the freestyle cruising or not. Also, I like the formal nights which I guess Norweigen doesn't really have. I have a phone call into my TA asking if there was anything available on deck nine. Glad to hear someone else is apprehensive on being up so high.

Gingee Posted April 13, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I will be curious to hear what the tenth level is like. Have fun!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted April 13, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2008 at most ports, you can't tell which will be the best side to be on...they move the ships in and out to fit the direction of the wind, which spot on the docks..one time you may face one directions and they may turn the ship the next time..same port/dock. some people like looking at the docks, while in port, others...like me..enjoy the ocean views.

Gingee Posted April 13, 2008 Author #13 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well we booked today. I think we could have gone down to level nine but most of the ones (I think) are either booked or something is above it that we don't want to be. My TA is checking into it though.
