Jezo Posted April 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Only one room left in the price category and it's directly under The Manor on deck 5. The Manor is quite the party place going to 2 or 4am so wondering how bad the noise is down there staying under it. I have read some bad stories of people staying above it so now wanted to know if it's just as bad staying under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back to school Posted April 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Directly Under deck 5, I4 Social Insider, I1 Solo Insider, and VW The Sea View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back to school Posted April 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Lots of bookings for me, but only one booking I4 Social Insider. I am assuming a noisy cabin but I’d like of late night Manor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelancer3 Posted April 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2023 This is not a good selection for a cabin if you have ANY other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsutiger2 Posted January 27 #7 Share Posted January 27 Any updates from folks who have actually stayed in this cabin category in the recent year on any of the ships? Is the the noise level truly unbearable? Any tips or recommendations for this area? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruisingWalter Posted January 27 #9 Share Posted January 27 I don't have that personal experience but I do advise all my friends to avoid staying under or above The Manor. It's the bass that comes through the below and above cabins. How bad it will be depends on the ship construction, but it's nearly unavoidable. We just came off Icon of the Seas and while sitting in Surfside my chair was vibrating so bad I was almost sliding across the floor. It was the bass from the Absolute Zero ice rink below us while they were rehearsing. That's an extreme example and that show is LOUD, but it's near impossible to prevent bass from going up or down from the venue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted January 27 #10 Share Posted January 27 To be safe, one should only book cabins that have cabins both above and below you. Not being able to sleep due to noise is simply not worth any savings on price. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted January 27 #11 Share Posted January 27 A good rule, as Cine said, is to put yourself in a little box with guest cabins above, below, and on each side of you (unless you have a totally amazing balcony on one side). And if you can arrange a guest cabin across the hall, that can help as well. It doesn't guarantee quiet--in 50+ cruises, we had 2 episodes of horribly noise neighbors, but that can't be predicted. THe goal is to put space between yourself and any ship operating or entertainment noises. On Virgin, THe Manor would probably be the worst. Leave the potential noisy places to people who do gty cabins or who don't know better and take what they are assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cloud9 Bob Posted January 27 #12 Share Posted January 27 On my first Scarlet cruise my cabin was on deck 14 directly under the weight room. I read posts about that area being very noisy with weights being dropped on the floor at 6 AM. I decided to keep the room any way and see. Although I did hear one klunk one morning, that was it. The potentially bigger problem was the bass from the DJ at the deck parties. I can see it being a problem if you retire early and sleep lightly. I'm an iPhone surfer at night and stay up to about 3 AM before I doze. Deck parties wound down at midnight, so for me it was fine. I imagine The Manor would be pretty bassy and foot clumpy and go on much longer, so I'd probably avoid that if possible ....but a day of cruising beats a day at work...so if that were my only choice available I'd take it in a heartbeat 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsutiger2 Posted January 29 #13 Share Posted January 29 Hi - yes, we are seasoned travelers and understand the importance of cabin selection. However, hearing from those who have actually stayed in this location makes a difference in assessing and preparing ourselves. It may be horrible or it may be perfectly ok. Though cabins may be located in an "undesirable " location, does not always equate to a "bad" cabin in reality. You hear this often from those who choose a "guaranteed cabin". They anticipate noise and they report back it was quiet and or minimal issues. Thanks again for feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a structural beam through a section now and again that works like a tuning fork. So base or loud music was amplified up through the side of the cabin they were in towards the front of the deck. They were in deck 9 around cabin 350.

chefchick Posted January 30 #15 Share Posted January 30 I am booked on a sold out sailing and was “forced” to take the last available cabin 8294A which is in line with the elevator, right above The Groupie and dangerously close to the Manor 😱. This is also a limited view sea terrace so not ideal to say the least. A few cabins have opened up recently (very few) but they are THOUSANDS of dollars more expensive. We are committed to going and are excited about it, but has anyone had experience with cabins above the karaoke space? How far does the Manor noise travel? I’ve tried scouring the internets for info but have found very little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always no shows and cancellations that might allow your upgrade to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any updates from folks who have actually stayed in this cabin category on any of the ships? Is the the noise level truly unbearable? Any tips or recommendations for this area? Thanks Last month we stayed in a Social Insider on a six-night cruise on Resilient Lady. We didn't choose it - we just wanted to try out Virgin Voyages and travel as cheaply as possible, and that was what we got! It was certainly underneath The Manor and it was certainly pretty noisy. A sort of thud, thud thud into the early hours. I found it a bit irritating but it did not spoil my cruise and I got enough sleep. It stopped me falling asleep very easily, but I usually read a book before going to sleep and I always find that helps. I didn't try ear plugs, and I don't think I'd bother with them in future. I travelled with my husband who shares the same opinion. All things being equal I wouldn't choose that cabin, but I'd sail in it again if the price was attractive and I wanted to save the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsutiger2 Posted October 3 #25 Share Posted October 3 Norwayfan1- Thank you for the information. This is exactly what we need to know in order to prepare ourselves. Like you, we booked the cabin very early at an attractive cost. It's our cheap way of giving Virgin a chance. Earplugs will be packed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
