Carol28 Posted June 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We would love to book a Grand Suite, but all suites are right below the Windjammer/Pool deck. Please help! I'm so afraid of the noise from the deck above. What has been your experience? Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You m might hear the occasional thump or bump...but in my experience, it's nothing that will detract from your vacation. I hear thumps and bumps, sirens, dogs, etc....at home! No place is 100% silent. Neither is a ship. The hallways are the biggest sound producers...and that's on EVERY deck. If you want a suite, it's an upper deck...no other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kholland Posted June 5, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You may hear a cart or two in the windjammer, but nothing very noisy. The grand suites on the Grandeur are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we've not been on Grandeur, we've been on sister ships Enchantment, Vision, Legend, and Rhapsody, always on deck 8, and we have heard the occasional crew chair throwing contest at 4am. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgestang Posted June 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I've been in the Royal Suite twice on Grandeur....never had an issue with noise while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doa70 Posted June 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yes, we were right below Windjammer too on Grandeur in our GS. it wasnt't too bad though really. If we go back on Grandeur I would absolutely book a GS again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We always stay in a JS on deck 8 on GR. Yes, it can be a little noisy. You'll hear chairs scraping and carts rolling under certain parts. It really depends on what part of deck 9 you are under. Our last trip we were way back under the solarium and other than chairs moving at night, it was pretty quiet. We've been under the main pool area and it's a little noisier there. But, we're not late sleepers, so we don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilNDebbieAtSea Posted June 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hello! We were in a grand suite on the Grandeur last November. The only time the noise from the deck above was noticeable was around 5 to 6 am when they were dragging and setting up deck chairs. My husband slept through it completely. I heard it but wasn’t too bothered as I get up early to take sunrise pictures anyway. Our friends in a suite on the other side of the ship were more disturbed. I don’t know if it was worse over there or they are just light sleepers. It would not stop me from getting a suite again. We were in 8014 and our friends were in 8514. Have a great cruise!

Carol28 Posted June 6, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Am I better off by the elevator in 8010? I thought 8014 and 8514 would be better away from the elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol28 Posted June 6, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Or, should I go for the junior suite under the solarium? So confused and concerned about noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try to be on the starboard side, under the Solarium. They run carts back and forth to Park Cafe on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suesnake2002 Posted June 6, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 6, 2019 They have js on deck 7. I liked that deck. One down to the cafe, diamond lounge, schooner bar. Two up to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted June 6, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 6, 2019 in all honesty, yes there is noise. in fact one cruise it was so bad at stupidly early hours of the day several of us got FCC when we candidly told the HD our issues one evening in the Lounge when she came to visit. worse was the dragging of loungers at 6 am when they were rearranging space to hose down the deck. my husband called it almost as annoying as being under the flight deck when they are dragging the chains. the carts from windjammer were also an issue, although those were a few moments at best. most of it is very early morning, so if you like to sleep in, =you may have concerns. if you are early risers, its less of a bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted June 6, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Last 3 cruises have been a GS on Grandeur. Yes, early in the morning there is some noise from moving chairs and tables around. We have found, if we are asleep, it does not wake us up. If we are awake for some reason, neither of us can fall back asleep until it stops. But not a big deal. We have 2 more cruises booked in GS on Grandeur. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLE2CRUISE Posted June 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Never been in a suite, but was on the Grandeur last fall and it wasn't a very noisy ship in general. The pool was often closed early and hardly anyone was out and about after 9 pm. Lisa N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW248 Posted June 6, 2019 #19 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Pretty bad in 8010 back in 2014. Sounded like some machinery that would come on on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac1_131 Posted June 6, 2019 #20 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I think it's really the edges of the pool decks that make most of the noise. Chairs scraping etc. Windjammer is mostly carpeted so not so noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted June 6, 2019 #21 Share Posted June 6, 2019 We were in 8576 (junior suite) which seemed to be under the area between the Solarium and the spa. I heard noise one early morning but that was it. It wasn't bad. One warning about 8576 - it does have a floor-to-ceiling pole at the foot of the bed. Make sure you're careful coming back from the bathroom in the middle of the night or you will run into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP987 Posted June 7, 2019 #22 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Currently in GS 8508. We have heard a little noise here and there but nothing that has kept us awake or been a bother. Love this room and think it is a great location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, did 2 Grandeur Suites mid ship and Noise but only certain times. Been 17 & 16yrs, ours was 6-630am. Still not bad can get in Aft Deck 10 on Radiance Class under WJ with Dragging of the 6am Chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender1158 Posted June 7, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 7, 2019 We had Grandeur 8510 right off the elevator lobby. No hallway noise was noticeable. We did hear occasional scraping overnight from above , but not a real bother. My DW reported a bit more noise while I was out on my morning ship inspection (A.K.A coffee run), but I think she needed to wake up then anyway. By the way, 8510 is a great room. L-shaped sofa set, no adjoining cabin door, with easy access to WJ and pool deck. I expect it is a mirror to 8010. /Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
