Under the Galley or under the dining room?

[KAWS]

We're sailing on the Carnival Victory and it's after final payment and the prices have dropped. I know there's no discount or OBC, but the guy at Carnival said they could upgrade us from where we are to any category above that's the same as what we originally paid.

 

So my choices are 2283 which is an OV near the front elevators or a full aft OV like 2462. We always like the full aft when we have balconies but originally thought we wouldn't pay the extra $$ for the full aft OV.

 

I took a look at the deck plans for above us (which would be the Lobby Deck) and above the 2283 is the first third of the galley and above the aft it is the dining room.

 

Which cabin would you rather be in?

I'd rather be under the dining room---dinner is over by 10:30 or so....and it's carpeted, which will dampen any sound. Not that your ceiling is actually the floor of the deck above--there's a bit of space between the two!

Never, never, never book under the Galley if you can help it!

Imagine preparations all hours of the day and night, industrial kitchen equipment above your head, huge carts rolling back and forth...:eek:

 

Like CB says above...

Dining room is carpeted, and serving is over by about 10:30 PM.

Even during dining services, it is surprisingly quiet under the actual dining rooms!:)

 

So, book under the dining room, not under the galley!;)

Thank you for your answers. We switched over to the full aft. Your advice made sense to us. We worried about the being under the Galley right from the beginning but the room was an "upgrade" from a 6A in the first place so we figured we were getting perhaps a better location. Now we have the 6D and that's where we're staying.

 

Thanks again!

We had a cabin under the gallery on the Coral Princess, and believe me, you don't want to be under the galley! Very noisey, and the noise goes on pretty much all night.
