rmalbers Posted February 13, 2023 #176 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I sure hope they get to the bottom of it and we find out the cause, this is really strange with all the work and expense that goes into building a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmalbers Posted February 13, 2023 #182 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Someone on board needs to ask Cap Kate what the deal is, if they know there's no reason for her not to say what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fijalclarkski Posted February 14, 2023 #183 Share Posted February 14, 2023 We were in 11294 (Sunset Veranda) during the February 5 Beyond sailing. We experienced the same loud cracking/creaking sounds that others have experienced. The sounds came from all corners of the cabin, not just from the exterior, interestingly. I noticed that the ship was shuddering quite a bit while underway - the same feeling when the ship is docking. So, my theory is that there is a propulsion issue that is the underlying cause of the sound - sending waves of energy through the ship that shouldn't be there. We called down to Guest Services one night to ask what can be done, and they offered to give us another cabin to sleep in but couldn't guarantee that the same issues wouldn't be present. We declined. The next day, we saw engineering staff inspecting and making adjustments to cabins (tightening things, essentially). The noises were quieter after that but not fully gone. Later that day, someone from Guest Services called to apologize for the issue and offered us some future cruise credit for our troubles. The fact that they acted on the complaints and offered us compensation improved our feelings on the matter. Needless to say, we slept very well on our last night. Bottom line, in my opinion, it is an issue, Celebrity knows about it, and they know how to give good customer service. 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkmdh Posted September 1, 2023 #189 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Yup had Cabin 6162 on the Beyond July 28th sailing and had all of the creaking, but honestly really bad only when we picked up speed to make up time after the ship left late from port and had to make up time, but boy was it loud. Headed out on the Apex later this month and hoping for a quiet cabin... Edited September 1, 2023 by kkmdh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in the Med, we did hear some "louder than normal" banging and creaking, apparently from the ceiling area, bordering the neighbouring cabin. But the noise was intermittent; we actually joked about it with our cabin steward. However, once into the Atlantic, with a few nights of higher seas, it was no longer a joking matter. The noises kept me up on a couple of nights. I have never heard such cacophony in a ship's cabin! It was not normal creaking that we've always experienced on every other class ship ... this was far different. It sounded like a loud hammer banging above us ... all night long! We actually were compelled to inform Guest Services, wondering if something was wrong. They sent a maintenance "joiner" who looked at the walls. We pointed out that someone had inserted several shims into seams between the wall and ceiling overhang. Clearly, we weren't the first guests to have been disturbed. The guy wouldn't really comment, but he said that he'd check the cabin above us. Did he? Don't know. But the seas did calm down for a few days and the noise was diminished. Never entirely, but enough so that we could sleep. Now that this thread has pointed out the noise issue on Edge Class ships, I'm wondering if we need to expect that this would be an ongoing problem? For us, another reason to avoid Edge Class. Loved the Transatlantic experience (as always); did not love the ship. I haven't said anything... until now. We were in 11200 and the exact same issue!! I managed to isolate the consistent BANGING noise to the upper portion of the wall, behind the curtains, on the forward side of the wall. The noise goes away in calm water, but any medium and worse seas, it returns. Took the issue to guest relations. They sent someone to check it out. Eventually, we were told it was a known issue but could not be fixed until dry dock (on Edge). We didn't sleep for 3 nights!! A small FCC was issued, we were moved to a lesser priced cabin on deck 9. This episode caused us to cancel our next trip on Beyond... and likely will only sail Solstice class ships from now on... if ever again with Celebrity.

I helped a friend move from her solo veranda room on Beyond Oct ‘22 and that noise was not good. Reminded me of gunfire and sounded like it had something to do with the infinite veranda window. When pressed on, the noise lessened. This was slightly bad weather but not horrible. I’ve gone on Beyond since then and in perfect weather I never heard anything. I used to sleep next to a generator in Afghanistan so I figure I can handle the upcoming TA if we hit any rough weather 😂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We taped the noise and then complained about it to guest services and at first we were offered ear plugs. That didn’t go over very well with DH. She eventually spoke with the manager of guest services and they really tried to fix the problem but weren't able to until the last night. We too were offered a nice FCC, which we accepted along with a meet and greet with Captain Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise was unreal - cracking, popping and slamming (kept thinking the door was opening and closing) any time we were underway and even in moderate seas. It was worse when we had some rolling seas but still very noisy regardless. Noise cancelling headphones did not help. My relative had maintenance come twice to make "adjustments". That was a waste of time. Our assumption is that it is a design issue and there is nothing they can do to "fix" it. The noise was a topic multiple people joined in whenever we discussed, so not an isolated problem to this deck or class of cabins. We sailed on the Edge twice in same location (SS & CS) and never experienced anything like this. We won't sail Beyond again for this reason - my husband calls it Cap't Kate's Creaky Crate. It's such a shame, as this ship is beautiful and we loved almost everything about it - except if you want to sleep. I have SS 10140 booked next April and now I am stressed about this 😥 Is this problem still not fixed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
