wrp96 Posted September 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Absolutely upgrade. The extra room is worth it. The Radiance class is not that big, so there really isn't that much extra walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money is no option for you then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the side cabins on Deck 10 are under the outdoor area of the Windjammer and there is noise from above early in the morning and late at night. We had JS1094 on Serenade and I think this is under the WJ kitchens. Noise was a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorie7 Posted September 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The central cabins are in a fabulous location with close proximity to elevators. This is where my Mom (a senior) prefers to sail both for the convenience and also so as to not get seasick. She is very susceptable to motion sickness, however. If mobility and motion sickness are not problems and if the JS overlooks the wake of the ship (Looks straight out the back), then I would change.

cb at sea Posted September 29, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Keep the JS!!! It's soooooo much larger and nicer than a regular room! Any noise from the WJ is not annoying--if you hear anything at all! We have been in that location, and did hear some chair scraping at times, but never during "sleeping" hours!

Thanks to everybody who helped me.I made the decision to change JS back to balcony D.The reason was maybe we do have noise from the windjammer cafe.And guess what now we have our same cabin back for a lower price:) :) .I am so happy now saved me 250 Euros for the cabin.Lucky me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted September 30, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Good for you, Gekke. And just for the record, we were in "that area" also and heard some noise and I don't know about you, but at 5 or 6 am, I am sleeping. cb at sea must lead a charmed life...never any noise in any cabin...Amazing. Good for her as well, the rest of us mere mortals are sometimes not so lucky! Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted September 30, 2008 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2008 We had cabin #1100 on the Radiance and never heard any chair scraping or noise from the Windjammer directly above us. Maybe it was when we were out of the cabin during the day, but we never heard a peep with the exception of pulling into port early in the morning. When that happened, we were roused very early by all the vibration and noise. It only lasted about 20 mins. or so though. The only downfall to that location is the long, long walk to the midship elevators. From the deck plans, it looks like there are stairs in the aft section, but they are for crew only and are in a closed-off area. You can sometimes slip up the stairs right by the cabin to go to the Windjammer, but it's not always easy to do. If a long walk to the mid-ship elevators doesn't bother you, then go for it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
