Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted January 18, 2023 #51 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The problem with not having an interior cabin across from you is that you can’t tell from the deck plan what is there. If it’s a crew access door it will be noisier than a cabin would be. Edited to add: especially since on the R-ships no interior cabins have doors on the main hallway. We specifically look for an interior cabin opposite our door, to insure quiet! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurieb Posted January 19, 2023 #52 Share Posted January 19, 2023 We were across from the crew access door last year. It can be a bit noisy at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please flag that cabin in the Azamara Cabins Thread, so others can avoid it. [Aren't you glad so few passengers read Cruise Critic, so we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot by listing the especially good and bad cabins??? 😉] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn’t my idea. Our TA said that when there are no other options on on a deck, that this is often done with the agreement that it would be available if requested by handicap needs and we would be bumped. I felt a bit funny about it, but she said this was how it worked. I am truly NOT trying to do anything that isn’t appropriate. Do consider that when you are bumped you may not have the selection of other rooms you have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been woken up by heavy swells but fortunately not the changing of the speed. On my first Quest, on deck 6 aft, but still a balcony, I found the engine noises a bit loud. When they were consistent I could fall asleep but a change in speed often means a change in the engine noise! Yes, I’m a light sleeper but at times I can tune out consistent sounds. For example in Hawaii we were to visit the volcano flows at night but fairly late, 12-1? I fell asleep early, but when the ship started turning and slowing I woke up. We were just entering the area. (That wasn’t Azamara, but the Celebrity Century). I was sort of surprised I woke up, even knowing that in some hotels I can hear the ice machine 4-5 doors down, even when it’s just making more ice!

killaypirate Posted April 6, 2023 #57 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Just returned from Canaries cruise in 8003, below the fitness centre. Only heard 1 bump in the entire cruise, so no fitness fanatics on that cruise! Perhaps wew were just lucky, would book CC but not worth, in my opinion, the sometimes £1000 ($1200) pp supplement. Nice size cabin & bathroom though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
