DisneyCruiserAR Posted January 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi I have travelled on Disney Magic three times and am considering the panama canal cruise on Constellation in 2010 as an "adventure"! Interested in general advice but particularly on choosing a cabin location, we are looking at splashing out on a Sky Suite and noticed that they are on the Sky deck or the Penthouse deck - any pros and cons of these? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted January 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2009 We prefer the Penthouse deck on deck 6 because we find it to be easily accessible to the decks with the most activities. Plus, the lower you are, the smoother the ride. Constellation is our favorite ship of all the X ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted January 18, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I would second the recommendation of the Penthouse Deck. One quick flight of stairs down and you're in the dining room. It REALLY makes a difference when you come out of the dining room, no waiting for the elevators, just up one flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyCruiserAR Posted January 20, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thankyou for your thoughts - I have read that another problem with Sky Deck is that the deck above juts out and overshadows the balconies - and/or balconies can be clearly seen from above on that deck - is this true? Assumedly Penthouse deck has no issues like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longboysfan Posted January 20, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I would get an Aft balcony if you could. Nice to sit out and watch as the ship enters and exits from the balcony. When entering the front rails are packed - 5 deep at 5am. The place you exit is nice - not too crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccletzgo Posted January 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2009 IF its a full transit through the canal, I would definitely suggest a FV cabin and a corner, if you can get one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted January 21, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Definitely Deck 6....one more problem with the Sky deck is that you have public spaces above you and that can (and often does) mean noise as tables are moved, chairs scrape.

Costest Posted January 23, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2009 you might also want to consider which side of ship. We just returned from Panama Canal 1/3/09 cruise. SS on 12th deck, port side, Mercury. Very little sun on our deck - good news, it was never stiffeling hot, bad news, it was never stiffeling hot. We traveled San Diego to Ft Lauderdale so different if you're opposite direction. People looking from above didn't bother us but I'm long past the topless bathing and/or caring about who sees me when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks! Absolutely, FV in the Aft!!!! We just did it in November and had a corner FV. You get all of the action!!! An Aft CC is ok, but no breeze on the balcony which can be a problem because of humidity. Aft is the best!!!! The Connie is the best!!!! Don't miss Perry Grant!!!
