Flgreg Posted April 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Hello---we took advantage of a promotion which includes $500 shipboard credit as well as the Silver Spirits beverage package and booked a 10 day Athens to Athens cruise in November. We are also doing the 2 day pre cruise extension. We wanted a Penthouse Junior Suite (PJS 3) and will be in cabin 6023 which is across from the elevators. Will this be terribly noisy? There were only 3 available cabins in that category and they were all close to the elevators. Any replies will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich3554 Posted April 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Once your cabin door is closed, you hear nothing. I’d have no problem staying there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flgreg Posted April 23, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thanks very much. I should have added that we're on Viking Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted April 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2022 We have been on cruises directly across from the forward lifts. Noise was not a problem even if there were several people waiting. The only drawback is people waiting can see directly into your room when you open the door. Not a problem unless one person is leaving and another is in a state of undress.

photopro2 Posted April 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Cabins near forward stairs/ elevators are now always our first choice. We have never had the slightest issue with noise. In 6023 you will be perfectly positioned, just a couple of short flights of stairs up to Mamsen's and the explorers lounge forward or the winter garden and pool aft. Taking the elevator or stairs down to deck two brings you out close to the entrance to the theatre. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity Cruiser Posted April 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2022 We were in 4025 which is close to the elevators. Never heard a thing. In fact, never heard people in the hallway, although we could occasionally hear our neighbor's tv very faintly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich3554 Posted April 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The lack of hall noise was one of the first things we noted on our first cruise on Viking. You can stand outside the laundry room door with all machines going and not realize it was a laundry room until you see the sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy4Kruisin' Posted May 10, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Is the noise level horrible on Deck 6, in cabins below the World Cafe? We booked a PV1 there, but are thinking of moving to PV2 on Deck 5 because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PasadenaDave Posted May 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2022 We are currently in 6058. Adjacent to the elevator lobby. I like the convenience, no noise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetcbl Posted July 17, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The only “noise” we have ever heard from any cabin on Viking Ocean is when the weather has been beautiful and everyone is out on his/her balcony….then it is happy-beautiful-day noise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling better now! Why were you particularly interested in the port side for that cruise? We’re going in September and will be on the starboard side. I’m wondering what we’ll miss.

Jim Avery Posted August 18, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I really don't know what the deal is. We did this route as part of a WC and would not say there was any benefit to P vs S. I do know it seems any time a tanker or barge came alongside for bunkers the exhaust from the funnel was right outside our balcony. DV midships on deck 4 Port side. The only real benefit I know of is a North Atlantic straight Transatlantic. Sunny side Port outbound from England, sunny side Starboard outbound from NYC. Port Out, Starboard Home or POSH..... 🍸 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the map you see land in the beginning of the trip on the starboard side and then when it comes back around the island port side will give you land views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my days on the floating gin palaces, we did cruise closer to shore, as we needed to see lighthouses, points of land, etc for visual bearings. Didn't have GPS in those days. Unless scenic cruising, the ships are so much further offshore these days. Since we were in virtually the same location as you, we also had the bunker barge just off the balcony in many ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
