Sapphire - mid aft cabin vibration question

Help! We've booked cabin d603 which is in the middle of the mid-aft dolphin deck - Sapphire Princess for a 14 day cruise. I'm hoping someone with experience on this (or the Diamond Princess) can advise whether we see much vibration in that area, because, though I suspect it's a tad more stable sailing, we still have a bit of time to book mid-forward if it's an issue. We had a 14 day cruise previously on the Coral but it was way-far aft, and the vibration drove us crazy at night.

Thoughts? and many thanks!

I was just on the Sapphire in D734. It was just fine. I really like the aft facing cabins but settled for the mini suite this time.

Only problems I had were the toilet not flushing for 2 days, although maintenance did come to fix it both days, very poor internet from my cabin, and the tv's did not work for 2 days.

First 5 days of cruise sailing was very smooth-Southampton to Guernsey-La Rochelle-Bilboa, then seas were a bit rough for last 2 days-felt everywhere on ship.

Nice, clean, new bedding, carpets in hall. Crew were great.

Hi do you have any photo of your mini suite - we are in a very close mini suite to your one on Sapphire in a couple of months. Hope you had a good time.

People are all different.On Coral we had an aft-facing ocean view on Baja for 17 days and didn't really feel much at all. In fact, I've booked that same cabin for a 19 day cruise in November. We sailed in an aft-facing Caribe balcony (C752) on Grand and I told my wife that "people used to put quarters into a machine to make their bed vibrate like this". We had no issue with it but some other people might absolutely hate it. We did a 28 day last year on Emerald and some folks from our roll call group sailed in C752 and hated the vibrations. She said "never again!".

That is great to hear - thank you :)

We were on the Sapphire last week, no vibration detected anywhere on the ship. Last January on the the Caribbean was a different matter, it was like sitting on a washing machine!

We were also on the Sapphire last week, but in B335 mid ships and didn't feel any vibration there or anywhere on the ship for that matter. A couple of days we didn't even realise we'd docked, it was that smooth.

Thanks for your replies - it makes me more relaxed about the location. Now the tough part is waiting 14 months for the cruise!

We too were on Sapphire a couple of weeks ago in B623, and felt no vibration whatsoever. Even when we understood that the seas were getting a little rough over the Bay of Biscay, we felt nothing at all in our room.

Hey Thrak! We had the identical cabin (C752) on the Crown, just off 3 weeks ago. Loved it! Very minimal

vibration.
