Rebels82 Posted December 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Which deck, Lido or Marina, would you suggest for a Regal Mini Suite? Does either deck have any noise issues? Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chsalas Posted December 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2015 we're on the Regal next week Marina Deck, in a mini suite. I can post what I think when I get back. looking forward to it. Is there something you are looking for in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels82 Posted December 26, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I am just wondering if one deck has more noise than the other. Have a great cruise and I look forward to your reply when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrack Springfield Posted December 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2015 We were on the Royal in October. We had a mini on Riveria deck and it was very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted December 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Book only if there's a cabin above you. If there's public deck or the Horizon Court/Bistro, you'll have constant noise starting very early (for me, it was 3:30am in M611) in the morning.

vickie_bernie Posted December 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Marina deck is fine as long as you don't have public deck above you. We have had the pool deck above us on a cruise and we could easily hear every time a chair was pulled out and slid back in under the table above near the pizza bar. We were just offered an upsell and it was Marina or Riviera, we said only the Riviera or we would not take it. WE are in R212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser113 Posted December 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 26, 2015 We received an up sale to a Mini on Marina and M108 was our choice. Large deck/balcony and loved it. Sailed November on Royal. Noise was never an issue. We are sailing next month on the regal in a forward facing balcony also on marina deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarKay525 Posted December 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2015 You didn't ask and I don't know what location you are considering, but the mid-ship mini-suites with the extended balconies on Marina are directly under the SeaWalk and the SeaView Bar and some people have mentioned the lack of privacy in those locations.

msw.delafield Posted December 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We just had a forward facing mini-suite at the front of Lido deck on Royal, directly under Sanctuary. We didn't have any noise issue from above during the entire trip. Found the forward Lido location very convenient to elevator and an easy walk to grill, pizza, seawalk and finally Horizon Court. Proximity to elevators worked well for us too, able to access Decks 6/7 quickly which provided access into the Piazza spaces. Would book this same location under Sanctuary again in a heartbeat.

riclop Posted December 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Lido deck is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels82 Posted December 27, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks so much. I was concerned about being below The Sanctuary but it doesn't sound (no pun intended...ha) like it is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickie_bernie Posted December 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sanctuary is a good spot cause they have that indoor/outdoor carpet. Enjoy your cabin. I have heard great things about those forward cabins. My friends are in one in a few weeks when we sail together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun&sea Posted December 27, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2015 M210 was super quiet. :) Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronessk Posted December 28, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just checked out of M211 today. I thought the location was great, convenient to Lido deck and Adult only Retreat pool area. Quiet, no noise, (cabins above and below). But most importantly, our cabin steward, "Richie" is the BEST we've ever had! If anyone sees Richie, tell him hello from Kai, Louise & Donna. We left him a simple styrofoam cooler, which we used as an ice bucket, and he was thrilled he would have a "frig" for his cabin. Seriously, I would book this MS again, and I did a walk around as people were leaving and did not see anywhere I would have preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Igggy Posted December 28, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Everyone...I am booked on the Regal mini-suite Riviera R322 anyone know that suite or stayed in it or close by it??? First time on Princess for me!!!! Thank you in advance!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR TIME Posted December 31, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just back from the Regal, we had a forward facing balcony (M107) large, beautiful wraparound deck, 2 separate rooms, you could have a large cocktail party on the balcony. You won't believe how big this thing is, and its priced right. try it or the one on the port side, or maybe on the L deck (didn't check the price of that one). No noise whatsoever.

luckyinpa Posted August 3, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 3, 2017 hi i'm new to princess and just started my research. looking possibly at a mini suite and see they have some on lido deck on Regal. however they are cheaper than the lower levels which leads me to believe they are less desirable. a post above indicated no noise from the sanctuary looks like you are close to pizza, the pool , buffet etc so can someone give me their opinion on the quietness of the rooms . i normally would never consider booking anything other than a cabin sandwiched between 2 other floors of cabins but this looks cool to me.

ponstad Posted August 3, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We were in Lido 105 and loved it - we didn't have a problem with noise, and appreciated being close to the Sanctuary. The larger balcony was an extra bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted August 4, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 4, 2017 oh forward facing. very nice! I've done some analysis and looked at the cabins still available and while this may change, i was comparing a mid forward balcony at 1750 vs the lido deck mini suite at 2050. i watched videos of each type and the tub would be a nice plus as well as the larger balcony and the full sofa. i do think it would be worth 300 extra to me and it seems like no noise worry from the sanctuary or pool above since the hours up there are limited and the carpet is there. Id appreciate any other input on the minis on lido deck, good or bad. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metairiegal Posted October 22, 2017 #20 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We were upgraded to mini suite L209 on the Royal. We are very excited to be in a mini suite for the 1st time. Two tvs and a bathtub sound great! But, I was also wondering about the noise from above. Has anyone stayed in that cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in L201 on the Regal Princess (sister ship) which is only 3 cabins away. There was no noise from above. Your location being under the forward corner of the Retreat Pool area should be no problem with noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougH Posted October 23, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Book only if there's a cabin above you. If there's public deck or the Horizon Court/Bistro, you'll have constant noise starting very early (for me, it was 3:30am in M611) in the morning. I guess everyone is different. I was recently on the Regal in M616 directly under the Horizon Court and never heard any noise for the entire cruise. I did like the covered balcony, the Horizon Court actually extends another 6-8 feet past the balcony railing. My TA sailing had a lot of rain but I could still be out on the balcony because it was tucked up under the overhang. Really liked this location.

luckyinpa Posted October 27, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 27, 2017 just got off L225 regal: after 9am you do hear chairs from above. last sea day was storming so no one was up there. during 'normal' sleep time' i dont think any retreat noise bugged me. will note in my review in other thread but L225 was horrible for banging during rough weather. i dont know if it was because of this room. because we are up front etc. but it sounded like someone continually knocking on the wall or ceiling. someone had stuck a piece of wood between the crown moulding and the ceiling even before we got there. i know no one can control flying hangers in strong winds but the room noise , creaking. banging means we wont ever get this cabin again. i was on the breakaway during strong winds and never had this much room noise. would love to hear other lido deck mini stories on what the hear in high winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am interested in hearing other lido deck mini suite stories. (We'll be in L209 on the Royal which is 6 cabins forward from where you were in L225 on the Regal.)
