Volendam cabins on deck 2

[spingal]

I noticed that the cabins on deck 2 are under the promenade deck.  Are these cabins noisy?  I am an extremely light sleeper and want to make sure there won’t be too much noise from people walking on promenade.

 

Thanks!

I had an outside cabin on the Amsterdam (the same Class of ship as the Volendam) on Deck 2.  At times, I could hear footsteps on the promenade deck above.  Not really annoying, but, I would not book a cabin on that deck again.  

 

I prefer the outside cabins on Deck 1.  Quiet, if the seas are mis-behaving, the ride is as stable as one could get, particularly as close to mid-ship as possible.  

 

If sailing in a hot/humid climate, the Deck 1 cabins that open onto the forward elevator foyer and just aft of the foyer on the starboard side can experience the heat/humidity that comes up the forward stairway that leads to the tender platform when the platform is in use.  It does not impact the comfort of the cabins themselves, however.

The outside cabins can be. Not the insides, however.

Thank you!  Looks like deck 2 is off limits for me!

Especially if my DH or anybody else decides for a walk in the early morning with walking sticks.  We had an outside on deck 2 once, so I know.
