Sujormik Posted March 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hi there. We are booked into 11023 on Marina, which I thought was underneath the 12th deck Art Loft and would be mostly quiet in the early mornings/late nights. As I look now, it seams we may actually be under the 12th deck restrooms, not the Art Loft. Will these be used frequently and be noisy (running water from flushing for example) in early morning/late nights? Another available room on 11 is 14 or 15…they’re a bit forward but have suites above them instead of public spaces. Should we reconsider our room to take this into account? We’ve not done many cruises and I don’t really know how to judge being forward or aft, just don’t want to be disturbed by noise if we can avoid it. I truly appreciate your insights. New to O and so far folks have been very friendly and helpful! Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted March 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I looked and 11014 and 11016 are under the Culinary Center. There might be a little noise on the days there are Culinary Classes for set up but I would not expect it to be noisy. You also mentioned 15 and that would be under the Artists Loft which would be quieter, even if there is more activity in the Loft. Under the 12th floor Restrooms, I know I was on 11021 on Riviera and it was not noisy at all. No guess about 11023. If I were to take a gamble, I guess I would go for 11016 or if 11015 was an option, take that PH. We always like to be sailing into a port with the land out our balcony so we can see what’s coming and take some photos. So if this is of interest to you use Port or Starboard as a decision point. If you are concerned about noise and or motion, and want a PH, you should book mid ship on deck 10 where you will have staterooms above and below you. Enjoy your cruise, Mauibabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueponies Posted April 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hi there. I think that from looking at the Marina deck plans that 11023 is right outside the elevators. I would think that these will be much noisier than being over the Rest rooms or Artist Loft. If I was choosing, I would go with 11014 or 11015. Happy sailing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted April 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I booked Vista and had to take a PH1, cabin/suite 11063. Almost all the PH2’s and 3’s were already booked. I was “assured” that the cabins are totally soundproof, which I knew was not true; however, I will keep looking for a larger balcony or different stateroom. It looks to be under a restroom, and by the elevators. Anyway, as a newbie, lots of concerns here too like the OP.

No one has been on VISTA yet That said on the O class ships the location near the elevators in not really a problem for noise unless there is a group of loud people getting off the elevators Being over/under the Theater on the R ships you will hear noise toilets systems on all ships we have sailed is a problem with noise no matter where your cabin is JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one time I didn’t was the last time for me, but thanks for sharing information. I certainly hope it is true!

We have stayed in cabins very near on both Riviera nd O ships and love the location - never heard any noise from the elevators (Oceania guest do not party going into or out of elevators) and under the restroom for Terrace so no noise from above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwindham Posted April 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2023 My first Oceania cruise was on Riveria and it was a GTY Penthouse. We got the assignment about 5 days before sailing. It was the cabin directly across from the entrance to the area with the stairs and elevators so I thought, Oh Well. We never heard the first sound from that area and it was great to get off an elevator and just walk straight to our door. Julia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia This is what many of us try to tell people every time this question is asked. It's really a non issue having a room close to the elevators or stairs.

Rare GeezerCouple Posted April 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We prefer Deck 11, so we try to get PH suites that are under the Oceania Suites. That way, there are suites on each side, and also below *and* above. It's worked very well. GC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very, very quiet. You should have no worries at all. Edited April 5, 2023 by PhD-iva Edit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
