jake 26 Posted May 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi, 1st cruise on Thomson Discovery in August and am looking at room number 8520. Please could anyone share any info on this room with regards to location, noise, room size & balcony and amenities. Thanks for your help.. Junior suites are excellent in size and have a large balcony with table and chairs plus a sun lounger. There is a seating area with easy chairs and a coffee table inside adjacent to the patio doors. Large comfortable queen sized bed. They are equipped with tea and coffee plus kettle, and also a coffee machine. There is a minibar/fridge. The bathroom is a reasonable size with shower over the bath. Clarins toiletries are provided, as are bathrobes and slippers. 8520 is a 4 berth positioned below the pool deck area and may suffer from some noise from sunbeds etc, particularly in the morning. There is also an overhang which limits sun on the balcony. To avoid that you need to be astern of 8540, which is under the Glasshouse area and less prone to noise from above. I hope this helps.

Pensioncruiser Posted May 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well done with that, perhaps you can report on your return as we have the central one booked. Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake 26 Posted May 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks for your help, have changed room to 8568. Hoping this is a better location?? Yes, we had 8566 in the Caribbean end March/early April and it was fine. There is a narrow interconnecting door between those two cabins but you can't hear anything through it at all, it's like part of the wall. It's a very peaceful location as you get little through traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm sure you will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app No, there was an occasional trolley rumble when they were clearing things up in the Glasshouse above, but we were forward of the Veranda area. We chatted to a couple who were in an aft JS, and they had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shot2bits Posted May 31, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2017 We had 8053 last year. Nice room, no problems with that at all. Our only issue was the loud music from the pool area. There was no way of avoiding it from that cabin. On that basis, select a room as far away from the pool area as possible would be my advice. Enjoy!
