laura21123 Posted June 2, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2005 We booked on spendour of the seas for the Med. West cruise, August 6. I keep reading complaints about the AWFUL VIBRATIONS. We sailed on the Zenith about 10 years ago and had a cabin in the back. We literally couldn't sleep because it was loud and vibrating and demanded another cabin, so they moved us luckily there was another cabin available. Has anyone ever sailed on the spendour, and how is she really, is it as bad as i'm reading. I hope not, I really want to go.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherb1958 Posted June 2, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2005 hi laura, would help if we knew which deck you are booked on. We did the transatlantic on her which ended 14th may this year and had cabin 7083.This was an inside , midships. There wasn't any noise or vibration. The only thing we could hear was the aircon.Some of our tablemates were on deck 3 and asked to be moved due to excess noise. They had no trouble in their forward cabin on deck 3. hope this helps.

2forthesea Posted June 2, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2005 We were on Deck 3 aft, cabin 3602, on the Splendour. No vibrations, and maybe just a little bumping noise from the dining room just above us. Loved the Med cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura21123 Posted June 3, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi everyone, thanks for responding to my previous post about noise vibrations. We booked 2 rooms, 7121 and 7621. Has anyone out there ever had or been around these rooms, if so, how were they. Thanks;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinplace Posted June 3, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Laura- We were on cabin 8032 (just forward of the Centrum). I occasionally noticed vibrations on deck 5 in the shops (the glasses would start to shake), and at some other times as well, but this may have been because I had heard of the problem and was 'listening' for it. Also, we had 8-14 foot seas most of the time, so that may have contributed to it. A few margaritas seemed to help. It sounds like your cabins are high enough that it shouldn't be a problem.

Rala Posted June 3, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2005 We have sailed on Splendour twice most recently in Apr. in Cabin #7080. I can't remember the cabin number for the other time, but it was midship on Deck 7. Did not notice any unusual noise or vibration either time. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!!!

critterchick Posted June 3, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 3, 2005 We were in the corner starboard aft JS on deck 8 and we didn't notice any vibrations. The last night we had terribly rough seas, to the point of all the drawers opening and closing with each swell, but that's not the ship, that's the Med!

Bassnote_1 Posted June 10, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 10, 2005 My bride felt some vibes in the dining room, more so during high (8-15 ft) seas and you did hear the glassware clinking in the shops, but nothing bad. We were mid ships deck 2 outside 2036. This was the best place in my opinion. Friends we met on deck 8 seemed to notice more wave action, but notihing that made them sick or anything.

heywood Posted June 11, 2005 #12 Share Posted June 11, 2005 We just returned from the Splendour med cruise- wonderful. We were inside on deck 6 and honestly never felt vibrations or heard any noises. The cruise was better than I had hoped. It is a packed itinerary and tiring but well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
