Just below a public deck can be loud. I’ve never had an issue, but I have heard this from some. However, being close to the elevators is not. It’s not like a hotel, the elevators will still be at the very least around the corner.
I just booked Boardwalk balcony stateroom #12729. It’s the last room on deck 12 at the aft end of the ship, with a view of the ocean and aqua theater. I took your recommendation and stayed away from the lower levels and zip line.
That’s great. It’s a long walk but to be able to watch the dive show from your balcony will be cool. I do recommend going and watching from the audience the first time. But after that, watching it from your balcony gives a different perspective
@@tonytineo9453 very central. You are equal distance to each of the elevators. I personally prefer to be close to one set of elevators, but that is a personally preference. But that is a great location
Hi Shannon! If I chose the interior guarantee for my family of four, will the ship pick a room that has a bunkbed or some sort of sleeping arrangement for my 2 kids? Or is there a chance we get just one bed for the four of us? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have no idea what I am doing and trying to plan our first cruise without breaking the bank
A completely different experience, the two are not comparable; each has its own attributes and intrinsic value. Having enjoyed both, there are times when the intimacy of a pvt yacht is preferred and visa versa. Overall, as I am less tolerant of crowds these days, the yacht is generally preferred.
Thanks for your opinion. They are two different types of ships. One definitely is not as well acclamated for the open seas as the other. We also like the serenity of the private yacht.
I have used a couple. There are links in the description box. Jamie from Moms At Sea is great if you have families because she specializes in Royal and travel with kids
@@ShannonFord we are traveling without kids for the first time, as they are all up and graduated. My last experience with a TA was underwhelming, so I’m looking for recommendations. Thanks!
No personal experience, but looking at the deck plan, it's a standard balcony at the end. Just be prepared to walk a lot. We had a Boardwalk Balcony once in a similar location (end of the row) and it was a hike to get to the closest elevator. It wasn't awful, but I wouldn't select that area again.
Not to sound mean but who really cares how big a balcony is and a room. You got a huge ship to go explore which you probably can’t even explore the whole ship in a week. I’m going in March don’t know which room just know it’s a balcony. Don’t plan on sitting in my room or balcony for more than I have to.
We don't care about balcony size, though a lot of people do. Cabin size though is different, especially with a child. Having even 20 extra square feet can feel like a lot in a small stateroom. Everyone is different.
Hiii!!! Loved your video. Was wondering about your take on room 10552? Thanks much !!
A little further forward than I prefer, but it’s close to an elevator, so I would say it’s pretty good.
I just booked deck 6, room 6684. Thank you so much for this video. It relieved my anxiety levels on whether or not we made the right decision.
Happy to help!
Deck 12 and 14 are noisy? I’m afraid to book close to elevators what do you think?

I just booked 1758, and I am watching your video! 😂
Awesome! Have a great cruise

J’ai adoré ma croisière sur allure of thé seas , et très hâte de pouvoir en refaire une autre 💕💕💕
Great video! We booked the spacious interior for our family. We have a 3 year old and a 1 year old
That is awesome! I assume you mean category 1R? I always prefer more space over view. Have a great time
I think so! It is one of the staterooms you recommended. Ours is on the 11th floor. We will, thank you!
Hi beautiful, what you think about room # 9212 deck 9 Muster D2?

@@ShannonFord thanks
My wife and I just booked 3858 and 3860 (L shaped room) for October. We'll surely add our pictures to the site when we return.
That's awesome. I have always been curious about those. Have a great cruise!
My husband and I just booke for October as well but deck 6!

Yes. They will only assign a room large enough for your family
8606 is available for my sailing. I like the idea of a little extra balcony space but am I better off with a room closer to the elevator?
Personally I would always choose close to an elevator rather than a bigger balcony. However everyone is different
Video is nice.
Some of these staterooms appear nice although small. We prefer to cruise on a private yacht.
So would I

I just booked deck 7 room 7860 is that a nice area as far as motion? Thank you in advance
Do you mean 7680? There is no 7860. If you did, I think that’s a great location. After tends to be better regarding motion
Hi! Are rooms next to the elevator really noisy? I'm thinking of doing deck 8 ocean view balcony but concerned about the noise from the elevator.
Not at all. The elevators are not close. It's not like a hotel. We always try to choose a room next to an elevator
Awesome, I was a bit worried about room 8566.
Your profile picture looks nice
Where should you book on the ship if you are prone to motion sickness? Interior?
Lower decks. Mid-ship. Interior is fine but not necessary
On a ship with a promenade. One of the promenade rooms on the lowest deck would be good. It would give you an interior view and would be midship
What is the “hump” and why is it advantageous?
Bigger balcony typically and it will be a central location.
What was the name of the travel agency you said you use? I listened twice and couldn’t make it out.
