Westerdam Observation Deck stateroom - noise?

[SuzieeQ01]

Our travel agent booked us in an inside room on the observation deck for an Alaska cruise. We want to be sure we're not going to hear noise from chairs and lounges being moved early in the AM. We'll be near the sliding dome cover. The Lido Pool is on the deck below, but not directly below our stateroom. Your feedback is most welcomed.

There are pictures and some comments about sister-ship Zuiderdam 10024 HERE.  There is no mention of noise, so I presume that it is not a problem.

You might take a look at the cruises forum at Tripadvisor.  A wonderful resource for cabin information is a poster named "Fannish" on that forum.  There is a long thread on the Vista class ships entitled "HAL Noordam, Zuiderdam, Oosterdam, Westerdam cabin choices."  You can post a question about your cabin and she will likely provide lots of information.  Enjoy your cruise!

We had cabin #10012 on the Noordam for an Alaskan cruise this summer. We have always had a balcony room but decided to save some money this time.

 

Pros:

- The location was great, being near the Crows nest was perfect as we enjoy spending time there, it was especially great for cruising through Alaska and getting a early morning space for whale watching. We would go to the lido and bring our breakfast up to the crows nest.

- We did not feel any extra movement having our room here, mind you there were not many rough days in general.

- We never heard noise from anyone or the elevators or doors.

- Save a lot of money over the balcony room

- We were close to a door to outside to get fresh air or watch the beautiful scenery

- The room did not seem cramped at all, we had the beds in the queen configuration

 

Cons:

- There was no couch in the room

- The table is very small

- Obviously no view from the room
