Cabin Choice on Island Princess

[oceanfan1212]

We are sailing on Island Princess in September to Med. We like the plaza deck and on this ship the casino will be right above us. I know they are refurbishing, but I doubt the layout will be that different. My question is: will this cabin be noisy? We have had Plaza before without a problem, but our TA brought it up. Anyone had these cabins? What was your experience?

We recently stayed on the Plaza deck in 501 and it was very quiet. Our friends had 503 with no noise. I picked our room because it was under the casino restroom and figured it would be quiet. When using the laundry room which is far aft on that floor, there was a lot of vibration which made me glad we were mid ship. It was very convenient to lounges, dining room, disembarking, and the atrium.

I will also add that we had maybe the world's smallest shower :) but we managed.

When we sailed on Golden Princess we really liked the location-close to the coffee bar and the International Cafe. We were concerned about the possible noise from Atrium, but it was really nice. The Casino was on Deck 7. I am sure we will be fine. Looking forward to Italy and Greece.
