DaisyDancer Posted January 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Does anyone know what is on deck 1 beneath the single cabins on deck 2? Thinking of booking one but concerned about noise. Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRiband Posted January 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Deck 1 doesn't show up on the online deck plans as there are no public spaces there except for the tender embarkation lounges. Deck 2 solo staterooms near at Stairway C and above them. I doubt that you will have any problem. The early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and there have been no complaints of noise.

tv24 Posted January 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2017 As Blue has indicated, this is a fairly peaceful part of the ship, so there should be very little to disturb you. I can also add that the design of these cabins is very nice. However, so far Cunard has priced them at the high end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the price will be good. I've never cruised Cunard before so I don't know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Scrapnana Posted January 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Be sure to check what the price is for a regular stateroom with the single supplement. Sometimes the price is more for the single staterooms than a regular stateroom with the supplement. Many times the price is very close between the two and you could get a larger stateroom for just a few dollars more. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the pricing of the solo staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoth Posted January 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Good luck! I hope you have a good TA. NOPE :o I do not have a good travel agent. Sorry to say, I gave up on them a few years ago and prefer to deal directly with the cruise lines one on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice on the website that insides were much cheaper than the solo staterooms so I could save money by paying 200% as weird as that sounds. I think solo cabins are a marketing gimmick with the single supplement added in on the front. Norwegian offers these solo studio rooms which are more expensive than insides. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburton59 Posted January 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The single cabins do have a window, so they may be more comparable to the oceanview. And the single supplement is only 75 percent of the fare in Britannia class rather than double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacruise9 Posted January 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Hi, I cruised aboard the QM2 in late September / early October and was upgraded to one of the new single staterooms (2010) on Deck 2. The room was spacious and very attractively furnished. Also, the room featured a large window. The location of the stateroom was excellent and there was no problem with noise.

Thoth Posted January 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Today I booked the trip ! Those single staterooms were more expensive than an inside. New York hotel package is expensive, but as a solo who is not familiar with the area I felt it was a wise choice to stick with Cunard's hotel/transfers.

Rare Scrapnana Posted January 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Congratulations on booking! I would have booked the hotel in NYC, too. So much easier when you don't know the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks more appealing if you have one price instead of the "per person double occupancy" price plus supplement. People sigh for the days of QE2's single cabins, but those had a built-in supplement, too. An inside Mauretania single on QE2 was much more than the per person rate for a Mauretania inside double (M5?). It was more like the pp rate for the highest Mauretania oceanview double (M1).
