The Best Cabins on Marella Voyager

The best cabins for families without doubt are the Family Balcony Suites on Decks 8 and 10 (although do bear in mind the comments below regarding location.

Aft cabins on Deck 10 would normally be called Sunset Suites on other ships and will offer views of the wake, plus fabulous sunsets and sunrises.

The most luxurious suites are the two Voyager Suites.

Cabins to Avoid on Marella Voyager

In my opinion, there really is no such thing as a bad cabin, just wrong location. Ensure you check out the deck plans to determine where cabins are situated, and decide if they fit your preferences. For example families might like to be close to the pools or kids clubs, whilst this might be too noisy for solo cruisers.

At this stage it is difficult to say for sure if any cabins on the new ship will have any noise or obstructed views so these comments have been based on a review of the deck plans and feedback from guests on similar ships.

Cabins to Avoid on Deck 5

Forward cabins on Deck 5 are directly below the Broadway Theatre so could be subject to some noise, although most shows end by 11 pm.

Cabins to Avoid on Deck 8

Forward cabins on Deck 8 are directly above The Broadway Show Lounge (theatre), whilst aft cabins are above the Squid & Anchor pub. These cabins may be subject to noise. However, if you are a night owl, you are quite likely to be enjoying yourselves in the very same venues and therefore this wouldn’t necessarily be a problem.

Aft cabins are also below the kids pool and kids club so you may here some noise from these areas.

Cabins to Avoid on Deck 9

Generally Deck 9 is considered a desirable deck being sandwiched between two accommodation decks. However some Aft cabins are adjacent to the kids clubs and kids pools so may experience more footfall and noise accordingly.

Cabins to Avoid on Deck 10

Deck 10 is home to some of Marella Voyager’s larger cabins and suites. However it is worth noting that some cabins are below the pool and there may be some disturbance when sun loungers are set out or moved.

Whichever cabin you choose you are sure to enjoy a fabulous cruise on Marella Voyager.
