forward inside cabin-need help ASAP!

[GonnaSailtoo]

Hello Cruise Critic Members,

 

You helped me out so much with my last cruise - I thought I'd ask another quick question. I might go again! But I need to know if FOWARD inside cabins are noisy. I've never been in a forward cabin at all, but I do know that the entertainment venues are in the forward part of the ship--and they are loud.

I'm looking at Deck 6 or Deck 9 forward. Anyone know if that would be noisier than the aft of the ship?

I would choose deck 9. It will be noisy on deck 6.

I would also choose deck 9 because you have cabins above and below you. The only thing I noticed about forward cabins is a vibration when dropping the anchor. But the advantage is that you know when you have arrived.

More likely than not unless you are referring to a tender port, it is not the anchor dropping that is causing the vibration - and any associated noise - but the bow thrusters engaging as the ship maneuvers into the pier. That being said the anchor certainly can be noticed as well when being dropped at tender port. :)

You may feel movement a little more but that is good for sleeping:D

not many ships drop anchor

I would definitely choose deck 9. Deck 6 is close to the entertainment and public spaces. We always stay in a balcony in the forward section and were never bothered by motion more than anywhere else on the ship.

My philosophy is "There are no bad rooms on a cruise ship".

 

You're on a cruise for crying out loud!

There is no right or wrong answer. Everybody has a different opinion. Deck 6 is actually a more central location. You're not too far from anything you want to go to: Pool deck several decks up, entertainment and dining within a deck or two away, muster station a deck or two away, debarkation at ports a few decks down ... ;)
