Best Cabins on Ships...
Hello All -
I have searched and searched to no avail, to find the website which posted about 'best or better' cabins on various ships and if they represented good value etc.. I Am particularly interested, at the moment, for Azamara Quest (8/13). This ship appears to be a category above where I do not want to be and a category below of where I would love to be... ;-) TIA for any input or direction you can provide... Bo1953 |

I have been there and this site gives the best cabin deck by deck, which is very useful. Alas, the site I Am seeking provided only three or four cabins on a ship and provided the reasons they were considered the best due to value and situation. i.e. it advised that on Crystal Symphony, cabins 8076 & 8077 ere the best for value and had the least unobstructed view on that level.. of course those cabins were booked for most of a 27 night cruise and not the segments I wanted... ;-) Thank you again for your input. btw looks like spammers have taken over... is this group no longer moderated?

Go to Cruise Critic. You will likely find a discussion on the best cabins on the ship you are interested in, and if it isn't there, you can ask about your specific choices. Bill |

I have been to cruise critic many times and it does not address the questions about cabins, as I have seen before on another site. Specifically, I seek input about the best cabin(s) for value on the ship(s) requested which are unbiased. For example, the web site I speak of gave a true value in cabins on one ship as being two specific cabins on the where the life boats hang. What made this an absolute value is, these cabins have 'unobstructed views' at an obstructed view price. I will return, once again to Cruise Critics to see if this type of information is there, I do not recollect seeing it. I want information on cabins based on values and not assignment after booking. Thank you very much for your input and information. Bo1953 |

Thank you very much for your input and information. On Cruise Critic you can ask about a specific cabin. As far as the site you are asking about never heard of it but I suggest in the future that if you find a web site you find helpful then you need to bookmark the site. As far as cabins with unobstructed views at obstructed view prices a good travel agent can tell you that. Or look at the deck plans yourself. I have picked them myself several times easily. They are the obstructed view cabins on the deck with the life boats not right behind the life boats. They are partially obstructed but there is still a view. You can pick those cabins yourself. As you always ask about luxury or other upscale cruise lines I am not sure why a value cabin is that important to you. Likely those upscale lines don't have those kind of value cabins or many of them. I have been on the sister ship of the Azamara Quest you asked about, Azamara Journey and offhand without looking at the deck plan I doubt you will find a cabin on her that is priced like that. But again look at the deck plan yourself. Those kind of cabins usually can be seen on the plans. If you want a good value on Azamara you need to time your booking to when there is a sale. Often they offer deals on airfare if you book a balcony or higher cabin. Get on their email list. I get email sales from them every week or two. . -- Charles |

What made this an absolute value is, these cabins have 'unobstructed views' at an obstructed view price. At home and I looked at the Azamara Quest deck plans. On deck 6 there are Obstructed view cabins in Cat. 08. Looking at the plans they all look pretty obstructed to me. Cabins 6036 and 6039 might have some view. 6046 and 6049 could have some view. 6033 and 6030 have some very small boats so maybe there is some view. You could post a question about those cabins on Cruise Critic. Ask if anyone has been in them and if there is any view. -- Charles |

I used to like the information I got here and I really get nothing FROM THE OTHER PLACE but a bunch of schmoozing. I can sure agree with that, Ray. This group used to be full of information with lots of helpful people. It seems to me that the first wave of trouble was when most service providers stopped offering newsgroups. Some members either didn't know how, or didn't want to bother to find another way here. It didn't seem to stop the spammers and trolls though and many more "members" moved to moderated social networks to avoid all the useless posts. It just isn't the same. steve |
