The best deck on a cruise ship is different for every traveler. For example, if you get motion sickness, you won't want to stay on the same deck as those who enjoy looking at the scenery. And travelers with limited mobility may not want to stay on the vessel's top deck. So, what's the best deck on cruise ships for your particular wants and needs? Let's dive in.

The Premium Vista Balcony cabin features a private balcony that is perfect for enjoying the scenic views of the sea. It is an ideal spot for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a romantic sunset dinner. The balcony is furnished with a table and chairs, allowing guests to fully appreciate and immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding environment.

The best deck for those who get seasick

When seasickness strikes, no matter how much you prepare, you wish you had done more.

To lessen its impact, take motion sickness medication, wear acupressure bracelets to prevent nausea, and choose one of the lower decks. Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the best spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much. The front and back of the ship are a no-no.

We recommend a balcony stateroom, or at least an oceanview stateroom because you can look at the horizon and hopefully avoid being sick without leaving your room when Poseidon decides to use his trident.

Reviews for "Embrace the Beauty: Exploring the Premium Vista Balcony on the Carnival Magic"

1. John - 2 stars - I was highly disappointed with my experience on the Premium vista balcony of Carnival Magic. Firstly, the balcony itself was significantly smaller than I had expected, making it difficult to fully enjoy the supposed "premium" view. Furthermore, the noise from the nearby pool and activities on the deck below were constantly intrusive, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the supposed tranquility of the balcony. Overall, I felt that the Premium vista balcony did not live up to its promised luxury experience.

2. Sarah - 1 star - My stay in the Premium vista balcony of Carnival Magic was a complete letdown. The room was outdated and in dire need of renovation. The bathroom had mold and a persistent unpleasant odor. Moreover, the balcony itself was dirty and covered in rust. For the premium price I paid, I expected a much higher standard. I would not recommend this particular accommodation option for anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable cruise experience.

3. Mark - 2 stars - The Premium vista balcony on the Carnival Magic was a major disappointment. The room was cramped with limited storage space, making it difficult to move around comfortably. Additionally, the bed was uncomfortable and did not provide a restful night's sleep. The promised amenities and extra perks of the premium balcony category were not worth the additional cost. I highly recommend considering alternative accommodation options for a more enjoyable cruise experience.
