ellamenopea Posted May 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2017 two years ago I sailed on the Sonata through Holland and Belgium. Smooth sailing very quiet ship. This year I am on the Certo on the Danube. The room shakes, laying in bed my body is vibrating, my iPad is bouncing. This is in the lounge and restaurant, too. Anyone experience this? I'm met with shrugs and basically told it's a boat, what do you expect? It's very disappointing. Input is appreciated. Thanks! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellamenopea Posted May 16, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Have you asked the ship's CD what is going on? Sent from my iPad using Forums We were told the vibrations should decrease as the river narrows. I know, makes little sense! We leave Bratislava at 11 tonight so we'll see if there's an improvement. Several people also questioned this and were feeling ill through the night. Thanks for responding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted May 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2017 A theory: In the wide section of river there is less problem with wakes, so the captain may have the pedal to the metal. When the river narrows the ship will have to slow down and that will quiet the engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cruised the Danube from Vilshofen to Budapest on the Ama Prima in 2015. No problem with vibration at all. Very smooth cruise along a beautiful river. The Wachau Valley during the day and Budapest at night were very memorable. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imabouttogiveup Posted May 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Never had that problem on our trip. Could it be you were going through a lock? Been on 3 AMA cruises and never experienced this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
