Rare Vineyard View Posted September 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2022 My TA just informed me that we are offered an upgrade on Quest. We booked 616 which was as far back as available. I believe the upgrade must be 748 as our TA said next to the card room, which she said was quiet. I am looking at the deck plan. It Appears the rear portion of the pool area is above this suite, and a door to common areas will be right outside. Is this really an upgrade other than being midship? I am a lighter sleeper but also an early riser…would you e]seasoned Seabourn cruisers take this? Our first Seabourn cruise. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH814 Posted September 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Technically yes. Higher floors are generally viewed as more attractive. Unless - like my wife - the rough seas are a problem. The card room will probably never or rarely be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted September 2, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Thank you. Since it’s the Mediterranean I am not as worried as sailings in other areas although I will bring my precautions. The original forward 615 may have actually more movement? And the back corner pool area above as well as door to common area right outside as far as noise - - any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labonnevie Posted September 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2022 We are currently in 515, the thruster noise and anchor noise can be disturbing, 616 ought to be better. Personally I would not take 748, due to the amount of traffic that might go past the cabin toget to Seabourn Square and the elevators. But that’s just me.

Rare Vineyard View Posted September 3, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thank you think I will call Seabourn to talk this through tomorrow. I sure appreciate this input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamin_June Posted September 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Apart from Deck 5, 748 and 747 are our favourite verranda suites. 1. There is no noise from any 'traffic' - there is no more traffic than on the corridors of any other deck. 2. Actually, very handy for the Square, and any business one might have there, or picking up a coffee etc. to have in one's suite. 3. No neighbours to one so side, so a quieter and more private balcony. 4. No noise from above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those are issues. 748 is a great location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLSD Posted September 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I can also attest that being next to an elevator is not an issue in terms of noise. We were next to one in 621 on Sojourn. it was our favorite suite ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted September 4, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Well, all these positive responses do make me feel much better. I am very grateful for them. Thank you. My big concerns were noise from back of pool deck above and furniture movement, along with the exit door (there appears to be stairs on the outside of that door) to the public areas right next to the suite - - Those of you who seek out this suite sure helps alleviate those concerns as they must be non issues.
