53sunset Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 We're booked on the Caribbean Princess for a transatlantic cruise for April, 2017. I would like to book an inside cabin on Deck 5 so it would be close to international cafe, internet, etc, but I'm concerned about noise from the engine. Has anyone been in one of these cabins, could you hear or feel the engine noise? Thanks for your help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandrina Posted November 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I usually stay on Plaza Deck 5 in an inside cabin. I've not heard any noises; in fact it's quiet. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted November 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Stay in the area that closest to the mid ships. Try to get a cabin that baccks on the art gallery . Yes it is quiet. We have found the further forward you go the cabins seem to have air flow problems and smells from the forward work areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted November 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Have stayed on P322 on the CB. Had no noise problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted November 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I was on the Crown (sort of sister ship) in Plaza Interior Cabins. I would chose the cabins on the opposite side of the International Cafe (odd numbers). I found the traffic from the International Cafe to be a little more than I had expected because the hallway/passage way door is open to the public. I do love the location of these Plaza Deck Interior cabins closest to the Piazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyR. Posted November 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I always fight to get a Plaza deck 5 because it is close to all the action of that deck. I am able to go anytime I want to go to the internet. I enjoy having a cup of tea late at night and just sit around and chat with cruisers until I get sleepy. I feel like it is my living room at the Cafe area. The best location is mid-ship area. It only costs a few dollars more. Either side is okay but Starboard side will be better because their is more space to walk though the area. The port side area entrance can get crowded with the workers who have supplies in that area before the entrance area. If you get a cabin near the forward area elevators it is also a good area because those elevators are hardly ever used. So it is fun to be near that elevator. I used them recently because my cabin was close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53sunset Posted November 13, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I appreciate all of your helpful comments. We've booked one on the port side of the ship close to the elevators, looks like a great spot. Happy cruising to all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a public door open between hallway by the even numbered (port side) cabins and the IC on the Plaza Deck of the Caribbean Princess? We have cabin P326 booked there for a 2018 cruise and I was under the impression that the layout is different than on some of the other ships like the Crown. The deck plan makes it look like the hallway on the port side actually opens up behind the IC and is only available to staff. From the Piazza I think we will have to go through the art gallery and around to get to our cabin...correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One leads to Passenger services and the other leads to the IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our inside cabin in both the Star and Grand have been fine every time. We did however get an Outside cabin on Plaza once and THAT was terrible!! There was a loud banging noise most nights. We barely slept!! It was terrible. Our friends directly across from us never heard a sound. Not sure if it was engine noise, or tenders banging against the ship. Since then we now mark our room do not upgrade. We pick our inside cabin and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintchip8 Posted December 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We were on the inside Plaza in March. Unfortunately we were under the Princess Theater. No sleep until the last show of the evening was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
