Avalon room choices

[KathyK13]

Has anyone stayed in the Avalon  Aft staterooms?  We are looking at an Avalon Rhone cruise in June this year and trying to decide on a room choice.  This is my 4th cruise with Avalon, so we know their ships well and like their product!  We have had rooms in the middle of the  Royal(mid) decks in the past, chosen mostly because we thought they would be the most quiet.  However, those rooms are sold out on the cruise we are thinking of taking.  Our choices are the aft rooms on the upper or mid deck.  I'm looking for advice on which would be the quietest.  Do the mid deck aft cabins experience more noise from the engines?  Thanks in advance for any advice!

We always book the Aft staterooms, usually as close to the next category as possible. For example, on the Envision, we were in #228, and our Rhine cruise (and upcoming Moselle) we were (and will be) on the Imagery in suite #219. We figure the longer walk helps work off all the great food, and it's the identical room as the one next door that is in the next pricing category. We had a bit more  noise on the Danube on the Envision, but the water levels were very low and we didn't manage to complete our sailing. We didn't hear anything after the 1st couple of nights anyway, so it never bothered us. Never heard a thing on the Rhine, and hoping the same on the Moselle.

We were on the mid (Sapphire) deck of the Imagery II, in room 224.  There was not a sound from the engines.

 

 

 

Here is what it sounded like as we were moving:

Thank you Daisi and Miss G!  I have no reservations now about booking those cabins!
