Cabin Under Lido Buffet

[Andoria]

I'm cruising with my parents on the Splendor at the end of April. My father booked a balcony room (8362) and if I'm reading the deck plans correctly, that's smack dab under the buffet. I'm guessing it will be noisy?

 

I told my parents that I would ask the experts here before I called and switched rooms. Should I switch rooms?

Personally, I would switch rooms. Too much noise from chairs moving, people running, etc. What else is available? You can easily check the location of the cabin and what is above & below by looking on http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/Main/dragit2.php?ship=Carnival%20Splendor

I would never book under the buffet or galley or the pool deck. Too much noise especially during the night as they prepare or clean for the next day.

 

My rule of thumb is to always book a cabin that has other cabins above and below......

Change rooms.... And watch out for pool decks noisy late night cleaning.

Changed it as soon as possible. Its very noisy at all times.

...location is nice, but I'd move down to Deck 7, sandwiched between passenger cabins..:)

Would not want any part of the buffet above my cabin.. :o ..or a dining room, nightclub, or casino above or below.. I like my sleep! ;)

Depends on how light of a sleeper you are. DD and myself are DEAD TO THE WORLD, once our heads hit the pillow. And then there is DH, who hears a feather fall to the ground:rolleyes::rolleyes: lol If you are at all worried about the noise, I would definitely change cabins. Good Luck!!!!!

We were over a nightclub on the Glory and that's what made me interested in checking the location of the cabin.

 

Thanks for all of your opinions. I'll call next Friday when I visit my parents to see if I can change rooms.

My dad can fall asleep in an instant and his hearing is going. My mother and I need the stars aligned just right before we nod off. A loud cabin won't work.

We were in a cabin on the Pride under the pool. Could hear the chairs scraping early in the morning, and sometimes loud music. I usually get up early anyway so it didn't bother me as much as maybe it would someone else.

I agree and follow this rule myself. I would change cabins ASAP.

Last year on the Paradise our cabin was directly under the galley and three out of the five nights the noise was loud enough to wake me up ~ from now on I like to follow the rule of having cabins above and below me so it's quiet.

Once, as part of a group, we were assigned a cabin under the lido deck (by the pool area). All day and into the night, we could hear chairs scraping the wood deck over our heads. Like fingernails on a chalkboard!

 

For our upcoming cruise, I had originally booked a balcony cabin that overlooked the lanai deck on the Dream and it was near one of the hot tubs that hangs over the deck below. The more I thought about it, the more concerned I became about the noise factor possibly ruining our cruise. Rebooked another cabin in the front with the Spa overhead (closed at night) and cabins under us.

 

Bottom line: if you are concerned about noise/privacy/etc...rebook another cabin. Vacation time is precious!

I do as others say, make sure there are cabins above and below me. Makes the cruise more enjoyable when you don't hear all the noise above you.
