Creaks & Groans

What kinds of noises should we expect to hear while on the ship as in hull noises, settling, or creaks and groans? Thanks! ;)

Probably none, unless your cabin is in the boiler room.

You might hear creaks and groans if you have newlyweds next door!!!:)

lol......the creaks and groans might be more likely to come from the cabin that's celebrating their 20th anniversary.......the newleywed's cabin might be more in the range of shrieks and moans. ;)

Cute...in reality, though, yes indeed you may hear lots of creaks and groans when there are high seas. Usually the lower you are the more you hear them. It's really pretty cool and part of the cruising experience. We've heard clanks, and bangs as well. One night on the NCL SEA out on the way back into Galvaston from Mexico we experienced 20 ft. swells and I tell you what, when the front of the ship was lifted out of the water and came smashing back down at 3 am.....it was more than a creak! We actually got the giggles because we were awoken with a start and couldn't for the life of us remember what our Muster station number was. Guess next time we will pay a little more attention to the lifeboat drill, and a little less attention to the welcome aboard cocktails....HeHe.

 

We've had some fantastic sounds come out of the ship....and some of them even came out of the hull.

I was hoping we'd hear some. I don't know why really.......I guess it just seems like it would help complete the experience. Thanks for the replies!

Good Point. You forgot to add the bone cracking noises.

And if you see a pod of whales you might hear whale songs.

closet doors may slide and bang a little too in high seas.
