Millions were spent on Navigator to repair a similar problem without successful results so appears unfortunately that people like you who are affected will need to either avoid those ships or be sure to book cabins not in the affected areas.

alexandra cruiser Posted January 9, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 9, 2014 seemed to feel in almost everywhere,so sad. Some of the itineraries change ships ea.yr. Now have to consider that when looking ahead. Know its like beating a dead horse,but sure wish they COULD FIX it.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabear Posted January 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We were on Voyager about 6 months ago and were initially assigned a cabin near the rear . The vibration was bad so we were able to change cabins to mid ship and slept like a baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedC Posted January 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Voyager is my favorite of all Regent ships. NEVER bothered us but some people are bothered. Remember, it's a moving vessel with all kinds of machinery and still contends with various weather conditions! Look at bright side - you won't have to feed the bed with quarters - FREE vibration! BTW, the beds are VERY comfortable, especialy after a hard day at sea! Edited January 9, 2014 by TedC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted January 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Alexandra, mid-ship cabins don't seem to be affected, at least the ones I've been in, on deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggywrinkle99 Posted January 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We've never been troubled by any vibration on Voyager, or Navigator for that matter. Maybe we just aren't as sensitive to it but it clearly is a problem for some people. A moving ship will inevitably "feel" like it's moving, it's part of the charm of being at sea, but if vibration (which does vary depending on speed, sea conditions, etc) is a deal breaker and Regent has done all it can to fix it I guess you have to make some tough decisions.

Rare boblerm Posted January 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Alexandra, mid-ship cabins don't seem to be affected, at least the ones I've been in, on deck 6. I have been on the Voyager 3 times, always mid-ship, on deck 6 and 7, and have experienced the vibration problem at some point each time. It isn't consistent, and it isn't frequent. Our last cruise was 10 nights, felt little if any vibration until the last night. Too bad if it can't be fixed, for me this is the one issue that prevents the Voyager from being the Perfect Ship. But certainly not enough of an issue that it would stop me from cruising on it again. And again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted January 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you book forward of the forward elevators, you will not feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrodog Posted January 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If you book forward of the forward elevators, you will not feel it. Don't you mean forward of the rear elevators? If the vibration is felt up to the forward elevators that would mean over thee quarters of the ship is affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra cruiser Posted January 11, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 11, 2014 and thought it was mid ship(sort of),but even felt it in tub,water seemed to vibrate too.Did feel bed was one of the quarter things,but not at all relaxing. May just wait and take the Mariner again,since I had NO PROBLEMS on it .Better than taking a chance if not fixed.Sad... My DH had no problems,called it the princess and the pea syndrome.What can I say??:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted January 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't you mean forward of the rear elevators?

I am fine forward of the rear elevators, but my husband is sort of a princess on the pea. So we book forward of the forward elevators just to keep him totally happy.

findacruise Posted January 12, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We had no trouble midship but last cruise took an inexpensive upgrade to an aft penthouse. never again! Vibration was not to our liking. Next cruise we are again booked midship and would not go back aft even if upgrade was free. That's our opinion. Others may feel differently.

Shana51 Posted January 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Since Voyager is our most favourite ship I'll put my 2 cents in. I have over 900 nights with Regent, most of which on Voyager. Always have a cabin forward of the forward elevators. Don't feel the vibration just the gentle rocking of the ship. I'm a light sleeper but sleep like a baby when onboard. The engines are at the back..sleep at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted January 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The vibration is not something that can be fixed. There is definitely a vibration (was just in rear suite). The amount of noise and vibration depends mostly upon the speed of the shipand the location of your suite. Some suites really hear the engine noise. Whether this bothers you are not is up to you.
