nitesiren Posted September 5, 2021 #528 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Ship - Encore (Alaska sailing) Deck - 9 Stateroom # - 9194 & 9196 interconnecting Stateroom Category – MC Starboard or Port Side - starboard side Quiet Stateroom? Pretty quiet for us. During the day and some nights you can hear the faint music coming from the pool deck on 16 when you are on the balcony. Just note that these cabins are right above the District and the deck 8 outdoors lounging areas. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? Yes Balcony View - standard balcony. Balcony Size? Standard balcony Was wind a problem? It depends on the individual. We got nice breezes when we were out there. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? Didn’t even notice , but did see a little on the railing when we first checked our the cabin. Any specific problems with this cabin? There were no issues BUT the bathroom is a shower/tub combo. Not good for tall or mobility-issue individuals. We almost killed ourselves going in and out of it even while the ship was swaying. Any other comments? Great location. Close to elevators, atrium, the district, food republic, the encore theatre and on port days-deck 4 mid-ship was used to disembark. We used the stairs most of the time. Elevators may become slow because we did have older people with wheelchairs and mobility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some engine vibration when full steam ahead returning from Bermuda, but not irritating or loud. Could hear some tables being set when balcony door open after Cagney's closed. Not a bother and very short lived. Stateroom does connect with 9314 9316 is all the way at the end of the hall and 9312, two doors over. 9316 had a fantastic large balcony (17.5 feet by 5 feet) that tucks under an overhang. Had 2 chairs and 2 lounge chairs. 9312 standard with 2 chairs. No obstructions. Metal roof for Cagney's outdoor dining directly below us. Bathrooms as shown in multiple videos. Very good amount of storage on various shelves. Shower, single sink, toilet. No soot at all. Not terribly windy. Absolutely loved the location of this cabin. Close to deck 7 for most restaurants. Quiet. Huge balcony on 9316. Bed closer to patio door in 9316/9314 and bed closer to entrance in 9312. Made note of location of beds/sofas as I could see into rooms while being cleaned. 9286 bed by entrance door 9312 9308 9282 9304 9316 bed by patio door 9314 9284 Hello wondering if cabin 9314 has the larger balcony like 9316?

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The balcony was located under the additional Garden Cafe overhang.

Any other comments? - The room with very convenient for access to the Garden Cafe and pool area. It was very near the midship stairs which led right to the entrance of the Garden Cafe. I was concerned that the tub would be an issue for me as I have osteoarthritis in my right knee. I was fine climbing in and out of the tub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(With comments on problems) – NOT QUIET AT ALL!!! This cabin is located all the way forward one cabin away from the crew bar!!! CONSTANT foot traffic with loud conversations, partiers, arguing, etc. The whole front of the ship is the crew bar which is open until 1:00am. SMOKING is permitted 24 hours a day for crew members outdoors in this area. When it's windy, the smoke blows right into this balcony cabin and also on the balcony itself. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – No obstructions Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - HUGE balcony! Very long. Had a table and 2 chairs PLUS 2 loungers! Was wind a problem? - Yes....it was windy and the crew's smoke was a constant issue on this balcony and in this cabin. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? - See above. I had to request to be moved, it was so bad. Any other comments? - Not recommended if you don't like smoke and continuous noise. I think NCL reserves this cabin as a BX cabin so guests cannot choose it.

(With comments on problems) – Very quiet except for nights when there was a band on pool deck (Deck 16)...couldn't hear the music but could clearly hear the bass thumping until midnight. Found out the cabin was directly (well, 3 decks below) where the band sets up their amps. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? -No Balcony View - Unobstructed view. Balcony railing in the way when you were sitting in one of the chairs, but imagine they are all like that Balcony Size? It has a normal sized balcony, it was fine for me! Was wind a problem? No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? Other than the bass noise late at night, I loved this cabin but wouldn't pick it again because of the bass noise...I tend to go to bed early and get up early, hard to do when something keeps me up until midnight.

Family Villa with Large Balcony Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – The suite itself was very quiet. But the noise from the cabin next door does travel if both cabins have their balcony doors open. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The view was amazing. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Oversized. We requested our butler bring us two lounger chairs and we still could comfortably have a regular deck chair as well. Was wind a problem? - No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? - Any other comments? - We travelled as a party of 2 and loved the extra space. I would feel comfortable traveling in this suite as a party of 4 (but not two couples), maybe 2 adults and 2 children. I think putting 6 in the space would be tight, unless you were truly just sleeping in the space. -FWIW YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small table and two chairs. Was wind a problem? - No. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? - No. One morning they were cleaning the balcony and windscreens above as we were underway, and water splashed onto the railing and outer portion of the balcony. Any other comments? - Good combination of design, space and amenities. Southbound this is the sunrise side. They are not automatically providing coffee supplies and a robe right now, need to ask steward or leave a note. The coffee maker was on top shelf of the closet. Convenient location for those using the forward restaurants and Observation Lounge. Most Sailaway balconies were assigned to this Deck, but I would not want to be any farther aft.

Other panel in bedroom had no labels so we had to experiment and remember which number to use. TV in main bedroom was big, maybe 50 inches, really too big for the wall and something you had to be careful dodging. Closet in bedroom had a funky latching mechanism that I was always wrestling with. Any other comments? - Very nice post-2020 refurb in these rooms.

Rare wil e coyote Posted February 12, 2022 #548 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ship - Getaway Deck - 9 Stateroom # - 9106 Stateroom Category – HG Haven Forward-facing balcony suite Starboard or Port Side - Port Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – During the day, very quiet. At night, not so much. The crew smoking area/bar is just forward of this cabin and one deck below. You could hear the crew talking, laughing, yelling, etc. until as late at 2:00 AM. We complained to the concierge but it did not seem to have any effect. Also, the winches for the mooring lines are just below this cabin, so whenever we entered/exited port we heard the winches going, which was quite loud. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - Yes, it connected to a balcony stateroom. Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – The balcony was the same size as a typical balcony stateroom, with the nicer Haven furniture. The balcony is well-protected from wind due to the forward fairing of the ship. View forward is slightly obscured by the fairing. Since this suite is at the front of the ship, there is also a window in the bedroom looking out the front of the ship. However, this view is partially obscured by the bow of the ship. The forward window also looks down into the crew smoking area. We kept the shades closed most of the time on this window. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Smaller than other Haven balconies. Was wind a problem? - No. The fairing sheltered the balcony from wind and sun. Any specific problems with this cabin? - The noise was the only issue. Otherwise the cabin was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(With comments on problems) – Noise was never an issue unless kids were running down the passageway. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No Balcony View - Unobstructed, great view. Balcony Size? - Standard, 2 chairs and small table. Was wind a problem? - No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - N/A Any specific problems with this cabin? - Being almost exactly between the elevator banks means pre planning whether you want to go forward or aft, not exactly a big deal 🙂 Any other comments? - The extra large jetted shower was fabulous, the size of the bathroom alone could almost convince me to shell out the extra $$$ but I think the standard balcony bathroom has more shelf space? Bed was next to the balcony, easier access to the closet than the reverse layout IMHO. Tons of storage. Midship location was convenient (could be an problems for those with mobility issues) and minimized problems with motion, being sandwiched between decks of cabins meant it was quiet. Had no problems with keeping the temperature where we wanted. Would book this cabin again for sure👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
