Empress Cabin Choice

[LeslieJ]

Is there a website that helps you pick a good cabin -- that is, quiet with not a lot of motion. We're supposed to book on the Empress of the Seas to Bermuda for July 2007 and I'd like to research the cabins before we do. Any advice? Thanks!

Pick something amidship and not too high - that will limit the perception of movement. DO NOT book an inside. You want to be able to SEE the horizon in case you begin to feel "odd". Modern ships have stabilizers that keep the ship from rolling. Most os the time, you won't even know you are moving. I was on the Empress some years ago and she is a very pretty ship. You'll have a lot of fun!

Thanks.
As far as having lounges or elevators or other loud areas, I guess you can tell somewhat from the deck charts. Are cruise travel agents generally able to help with this kind of question? I guess it depends on the agent..duh
