caroak Posted June 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2013 We chose #437 for it's mid-ship location. When I inquired regarding the wall across from the cabin, which shows up blank on the deck plan, I was told by Silverseas that it was the kitchen. Has anyone who stayed in one of the deck 4 cabins across from the wall experienced any noise from the kitchen? Of course, Silverseas said no noise but I would appreciate feedback from a guest.

I've stayed right along there too many times to count. Trust me - you'll never know it unless someone drops a tray full of dishes right outside your suite - which could happen anywhere. Silver Cloud is my favorite ship and Deck 4 Vistas mid-ship are the best. For many reasons - easy access to dining room, etc etc etc. Grab it !!

Declady Posted June 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2013 We stayed just a few doors down from your cabin and we never heard a thing from the kitchen. We love these Vista suites and don't feel the need to ever upgrade. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottToronto Posted June 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I have to agree with Dusababy and Declady. We've stayed in the same neighbourhood on the Cloud and Wind. Love the mid-ship Vistas. Go for it! Declady, I was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario. Graduate of Aldershot HS. Love Silversea! Cheers! ScottToronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declady Posted June 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey Scott - We live in north Burlington now and our kids went to Aldershot too! Small world. Who knows maybe we will meet on a future Silversea cruise. Our next one is on the Explorer next month and I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramcruiser Posted June 11, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Nice to hear the good reports. I assumed it was the kitchen that was there due to the location of the restaurant. I too will be occupying a mid-ship Vista suite in July and am looking forward to it. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroak Posted June 11, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Glad to hear all the positive feedback. We'll be on our first Silverseas cruise next June which is a chartered cruise to Normandy. We'll be there for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day and we're very excited!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocchi Posted June 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2013 We are not long off Silver Cloud and we had 435. It was a good position for stability on The T/A crossing. Yes this is a quiet place in the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted June 11, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Crock, we are too! Being on the Cloud on a charter will be unique. I was considering a Roll Call but I don't think many CC regulars even know about that cruise!

Emtbsam Posted June 11, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Do you mind me asking who is sponsoring the charter and is there space available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted June 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The charter is being run by the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. We heard about it from a friend who is currently on the Cloud. Gene Sloan, USAToday cruise blogger, posted it initially. My other 1/2 is a history addict, esp. military history. We have been talking about a battlefield tour in Normandy for years. The looks like the perfect opportunity, esp . on the Cloud! The official brochure isn't out yet. They have been inundated by requests. www.nationalww2museum.org I thought about posting it on CC but decided not to. It is the museum's show and I did not want to interfere. Come along!

caroak Posted June 11, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted June 11, 2013 duct tape, I had a feeling someone else on the cruise would surface. We found out about the cruise from a newspaper article published on D-Day last Thursday after DH, another WWII buff, announced he wants to tour Normandy for his big b-day next year. I was doing some research and came across the article. We booked on Friday and now two other couples will join us. The cruise is almost fully committed. This will definitely be a once in a lifetime experience. We were in Normandy on D-Day 2010 and it was one of our most moving travel experiences. I agree about no need for a roll call but let's be in touch at some point so we can meet on board. You can e-mail me at ckropp@cox.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillyf Posted June 11, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There is also a charter in April ( 2 ships I believe ) for the 100th anniversary of the landing of Australians at Gallipoli in WW1. Many Australians have attended a dawn service there on ANZAC day -26th April -but being on a Silversea ship would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted June 11, 2013 #15 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I believe it is the Wind and the Cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted June 15, 2013 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2013 We chose #437 for it's mid-ship location. Has anyone who stayed in one of the deck 4 cabins across from the wall experienced any noise from the kitchen? Of course, Silverseas said no noise but I would appreciate feedback from a guest.Being on board this week, I've paid particularly close attention to noise as we've walked down the hallway. The only noise incursion that I've noticed is for suites #445 and #447 as they are directly across from a crew door that leads to the kitchen. #437 has been completely quiet each time.

Emtbsam Posted June 15, 2013 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks for letting us know about next year's Normandy charter on the Cloud. We booked the cruise yesterday and are quite excited to go back to that part of the world. There are still a few cabins available, and my TA is sending information to several CC.com regulars. Maybe a roll call after final payment would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Jim Posted June 15, 2013 #18 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just back from Cloud in 435, and I can join the chorus of those reporting no kitchen noise intrusions were heard. We took the kitchen tour as the staff was readying for the evening meals, and it actually was pretty quiet inside the kitchen itself. We chose the cabin for its position, are glad we did, and I expect you will be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroak Posted June 16, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Stumblefoot and NJ Jim, thanks for the cabin info. Glad to hear it will be nice and quiet. Emtbsam, welcome to the D-Day cruise! I agree, a roll call after final payment would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
