Cabin dilemma

Hi all, this will be my first cruise and am learning so much now, that I should have researched before hand...

my Dilemma is our cabin...Lido deck, I wasn’t happy that we are right near stairs and elevators, then I find out laundry right opposite our door...I spoke with TA, sorry can’t move you, ship full...I had paid for balcony, and she told me this was an up grade, from what?? So goodness knows what original cabin was to be...

i will never go through TA again...but being a first cruise I thought it would be wise to...I have let her know how unhappy I am with this, her attitude is, not my problem...

can anyone tell me what I will be in store for, noise wise...

sorry this is so long...thank you...

This site is really inexpensive for a lifetime membership and you can get it all back, and more, because they will pay you for your ship photos. They have accepted every photo I have sent them over the years.

Try this site. It provides a nice map above and below and around cabins. "Cruisedeckplans "You can use the "guest" portal.

Actually on the deck on top of us is the Market place which I think is the buffet, probably be very noisy in the morning

Like most "bad" locations on cruise ships, being under the Lido is not always a problem.

I did it once on Liberty of the Seas and had no issues at all.

However, you are taking a chance that any loud parties or movies on the Lido will keep you up late. In the morning, the crew gets up early and prepares the Lido for the next day. This frequently involves annoying activities like dragging deck chairs across the floor (which would in turn be your ceiling).

​Being a novice I have no idea, unless noise from the Lido deck...hopefully someone with the know will be helpful for you...Enjoy ..⚓️⚓️🙃

Can you tell me what’s wrong with the deck below Lido? Which is Marina

Looking forward to your review when you return. Have a wonderful adventure!Big Smile

thank you, I know it will be fine, just wasn’t sure,as first cruise...ðHappy

I love using my TA and not worrying about the little details. I have never had an issue being near an elevator, not noisy to me. When it's busy, you're typically out and about too. I doubt that the laundry room will be a bother either. Most people don't use that at all. I can't imagine that people would be running around in there partying with their dirty clothes at sleeping hours. I think you will have a great time.

Having a stateroom *on* the Lido deck is almost certainly preferable to having a stateroom *beneath* the Lido deck. And, despite the seemingly conventional wisdom, I actually prefer staterooms near the stair/elevator well, and have never noticed undue noise.

I'm guessing that you should be fine. Don't sweat it; just go about enjoying your cruise!
