Maybe you are hearing joints flexing especially if the ship is pitching in high seas. I remember when a big crack appeared in one of Ventura's upper decks. True but that does not explain a very loud banging that was fixed with two hours work in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could if it was a balcony dividing door that was not secured properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryjacobs Posted February 24, 2022 #29 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Deck 15 balcony in calm seas had the creaking and groaning...and that was just the wife! We had maintenence come and take a look as the noise was coming from the ceiling and it was driving me mad, waking me up in the small hours. They pulled open the ceiling inspection hatch and put a load of insulation up there and that seemed to cure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicman Posted February 27, 2022 #30 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Yes we were on Iona last year, balcony cabin deck 12 Fwd and noticed the creaking/banging/grinding noises when the sea was not totally calm which woke me up a lot, I put it down to being new and hope it would bed in by the next time we go on her. I am a light sleeper so does not take much to wake me, also noticed in the morning the sun light above the top of the curtains woke me as unlike other ships there was no pelmet which is a shame.
