DENNSDMNCE Posted March 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We're booked on an Alaskan cruise this spring on the MS Statendam and our cabin is located on the lowest, or "A" deck, near the stern. Has anyone experienced any engine noise or vibrations in this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fann1sh Posted March 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm afraid I avoid these cabins for that reason. Did you purchase a guarantee, and were assigned this cabin? If not, is your ship full? It may be worth a few bucks (but not a fortune) to switch to a midship cabin on A. Is this an inside or outside? This isn't a huge problem if you can't switch. The first night it may bother you, but I predict you'll learn to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted March 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If you're not already up when the ship docks, you soon will be. The vibration will be strong then. Otherwise, it shouldn't be terribly noticible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted March 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I had one of these on the Veendam. Never felt or heard a thing until docking begins. When the thrusters are on, the cabin tends to rattle and shake a bit. I honestly never found it to be a problem, though. I tend to be up early anyway. General engine noise was almost non-existant - what little there was was quite pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted March 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'd rather be in the back then the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurolady Posted March 29, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Just got off the Statendam and I had an A deck aft cabin.....we loved it....it was very convenient to the elevators to all the dining rooms and to the library.....we also just had to walk down the hallway to the front and all our port disembarkations were from deck 3 so we just walked down to that level or up from that level to get to our cabin.....regarding the engine noise.....the only time is was really noticeable was when docking or leaving port....otherwise it never bothered us....but then again....I cruise with the attitude that nothing will spoil my good time!
