srp1419 Posted January 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi! We booked an inside cabin on Carnival and just found out we have an Electrical Locker directly beside us. Should this cause any concern with noise levels? What exactly is going on in there? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Parrot Posted January 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) You won't hear anything from the electrical locker. In fact it will provide sound insulation between your cabin and the cabin on the other side of the locker...

Rare John Bull Posted January 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Probably fuse panels, junction boxes & such. Those things don't tend to have loud arguments, or have their TV / stereo on full-blast, or indulge in noisy love-making. So they're a whole lot quieter than some cabin-neighbours I've had. ;) JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You won't have a problem. It is even more quiet than on ships that have the laundry room next to them. Even though the ships that do have laundry rooms usually have set hours, people who want to sleep in find it noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted January 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Is there greater chance of a fire being that it's an electrical panel or room? That might be a bigger worry to me if that was the case. Edited January 5, 2016 by Karysa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted January 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2016 No greater risk of fire than at home. I have been on a ship with three (3) fire alarms, one in the kitchen which was fast extinguished, but not fast enough to avoid the alarm. Another one unscheduled in the trash burner somewhere in the bowels of the ship. It was taken care of, but the alarm had sounded. The third was a false alarm and two officers worked on the electrical panel in the hallway to find out what had gone wrong. The panel had not burned! The ship was wonderful other than the alarms.

Harry and Lucille Posted January 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The worst that will happen? You will be the first to know and first to the lifeboat. Good position to have. This is the opinion of a 50 year construction Electrician. I never worry. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted January 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm not sure where the OP got the description that the space was an electrical locker, so I'm not convinced that is what it is. It very well could be, there are many around the ship, but that could be a generic term used by the hotel staff to describe any kind of space that they don't go into. Anyway, any mechanical space (generic term for any room with equipment in it), must be separated from passenger areas by an A-60 fire bulkhead on all sides, floor and ceiling. A-60 refers to the requirement that a fire can be blazing on one side of the bulkhead (wall, floor, or ceiling), and it takes a minimum of 60 minutes before the fire will transfer to the adjacent spaces. Even the paint on the passenger side of the bulkhead will not catch fire for at least 60 minutes. These are basic ship construction requirements, and apply to all ships.

Please tell me that it was a world cruise and not a 4 nighter to the Bahamas!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
