cruisebie Posted January 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I am considering moving to suite 16130 on the Getaway due to the longer balcony. I wonder if anyone who has sailed in this cabin could give me some feedback about possible noise issues. This is the first cabin on the hallway, and there is both the key card access door and the door to Haven cabin hallway in close proximity. Did anyone experience noise issues due to these doors? Either from the doors slamming or from people talking as they walk by? Also, above is the public sun deck area, any noise from this area? Thanks for any input you can give.

watchdiva Posted January 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2015 My son is in that suite right now. I will have him post his comments next week when he returns. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed in the like Haven unit on the Gem, and had no issues with noise at all. Hopefully for you it will be the same.

chris6084 Posted January 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I stayed in that room in October. I hardly noticed noise from being by the hallway door that would be above and beyond the typical noise from a hallway. In fact, it is probably quieter, because people went into the haven lounge first and went to their room from the lounge via another door away from your room. Noise from the deck was barely noticeable. The biggest noise issue was from people stomping up and down the stairway that is right outside the wall. However, it was not really a big deal. The extra balcony space was very nice. I would point out that there is not much privacy on this balcony. You are right next to the public deck that angles out away from the ship a bit. I had several times where I would be out on the balcony and have somebody looking right at me from the public deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, chris6084. I saw a picture of the balcony on another cruise website and I thought there would be a lack of privacy. Did you feel the trade off between privacy and the longer balcony was worth it? Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sit by the end of the balcony against the wall shared with the public deck, nobody can see you, so it is not too bad. Also, it did not seem to be an issue at all at night.

watchdiva Posted January 21, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Our son was very happy with this suite and the only problem he encountered was noise about 5 AM each morning when chairs were being set out on the deck above. He was thrilled with The Haven and couldn't say enough good things about the concierge Noemi (assistant to Concierge Adrian at the time). Noemi is now full Concierge (Adrian has left for vacation). You likely will be very happy with your suite! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebie Posted January 21, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks, WatchDiva! That is great to know. I'll just put a white noise app on my phone and the noise from the deck chairs will probably not even phase me. I sleep so much better on a cruise anyway!
