Arvia Cabins

[Old_tilly_billy]

We have recently returned from Arvia transatlantic cruise and we had a cabin on deck 11 and was adequate but noise levels increased dramatically during choppy seas sounded like plastic rattling. Anybody else had similar experiences or is it particularly to deck 11

Do you mean like hard plastic sheeting rattling in a strong wind? That's what I likened the sound to when we were on Arvia in January. I could not get to the bottom of it, but did think it may have been the balcony dividers.

We were in 11534.

It could be the balcony dividers because they have a hinged section allowing access between balconies and if there is any play in the locking edge you will get noise

I had to pack folded tissues into one of the  opening dividers to stop it rattling on Iona in Feb, and it did work very well. This on deck 12 aft.

We were on Iona in November, cabin 12612. Very noisy in bad weather across the BOB. Had to wear ear plugs.

A folded piece of Horizon worked for us.

Terrible noise on Iona last year. Did not sleep for three nights. Big queues at reception complaining about it. Seems Arvia has the same problem!

I would say a few coasters, but we never saw any

We were on the same cruise in an aft facing cabin. It was very quiet. No noise problems. We boarded with the anticipation of having noise from the bar below but it didn’t happen.

The creaking we had of the plastic handrails on the balconies on Iona in Jan 22  was horrendous and that was in calm seas too ! We wished we had booked an OV cabin it was that bad . Having said that we are going back on her for NYE so hope she has bedded in by then or maybe add a can of WD40 to the packing list 😆
