Longlocks11 Posted February 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2019 we have always had mid level staterooms on past cruises. I just noticed our room for our next cruise in a few weeks is on level 1. we have never been on this low of a level on a ship. is the engine and anchor noise horrible? we will be in the front portion of the ship.

In my experience, the "noise" on the lower decks isn't as bad as some people report. Of course, everyone has his/her own threshold of what "noise" is. You don't say what ship, so it would be difficult to answer specifically for your ship. And, since you report you're in the bow of the ship - there's no engine noise, generally there.

Rare LHT28 Posted February 6, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2019 depends on the ship & how many tender ports you have that is when you will have noise from the anchor usually the crew areas are below the Pax cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted February 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2019 You will not hear anchor noise except when in a tender port - the anchor (obviously) is not lower when docking at a pier. You will, however, here the bow thruster noise when maneuvering into or out of the pier. There is also no engine noise in the front of the ship as the engines are in the mid-ship to aft. You will however, feel more up and down motion in the front of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted February 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Normally deck 1 on a ship is the infirmary .I have been cruising since 1973 on 6 different cruise lines and have yet to see cabins on deck 1.However,nothing surprises me anymore.

lenquixote66 Posted February 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I wonder why anyone would desire a deck 1 cabin.The lowest we have been is deck 3 which is actually my preference . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any deck location desired would be personal preference. I think the same could be asked about your preference - or anyone's for that matter - if it isn't what you personally would desire.

cb at sea Posted February 7, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 7, 2019 There are decks below "deck 1"...that is simply the lowest PASSENGER deck! Crew is under you, then storerooms, crew recreation spaces and then the engine room. You won't be bothered by engine noises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longlocks11 Posted February 7, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I cant remember. It's been awhile since we booked. I emailed my booking agent to see if we could get a different room on a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a live person associated with your booking agent I would call and talk to them about this rather than trust the process blindly to emails. Just my opinion, but talking with someone always works best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily a lower deck, just a lower number. Exactly. That's why I stressed "what HAL is calling deck 1" in my response. Basically, deck one on that ship is the same as deck 3 on the Disney ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the front of the ship, you will have a variety of noises. As you enter and leave port, you will hear the anchors, lines and thrusters. When you are sailing you will hear the bow slicing through the waves. The volume depends on how far forward you are located, and when sailing the sea state.

Every cruise lines numbers its decks differently. Being on Deck one is not uncommon. Remember some lines, name decks they don't number them.

shipgeeks Posted February 9, 2019 #25 Share Posted February 9, 2019 The infirmary on a passenger ship is always on the lowest passenger deck because that is the most stable area of the ship. Therefore, if one cares about motion, the lower the better. I see no downside to a low deck cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
