Icon vibrations

[bahama_cruisin]

I’m on the Icon of the seas first passenger cruise and the largest in the world. I already complained about vibrating bed. First it was the bed shaking then the headboard (so annoying). I am on the 11th deck aft/middle). I would think a floating island wouldn’t vibrate!!! I asked them “it must be worse 5 or 6 floors below me if I’m feeling it. But he just stood there and said yeah it’s vibrating prolly cuz the ships speed. I’m a floating island. WHAT? It’s shouldn’t be wobbling or vibrating or something is really wrong. I watch Smithsonian. lol. Might cruise ships. And this is the. Offset on the world. I’m on it now can’t sleep. Any suggestions. 😁🙄

can you change your stateroom?  What number stateroom are you in?

Some people like vibration in a bed....😉

You're probably the first person to stay in that stateroom, certainly while traveling at top speed.  While inaugural voyages are exciting, this is one of the downsides if there are any issues.

I'd keep on at guest services/maintenance. It's probably just a few bolts needing to be tightened somewhere.

Largest or smallest she is a mechanical moving object.  Some areas might feel vibration for whatever reason. Guess what she will also rock & roll in high seas.  Mother Nature will always prevail.  Size does not guarantee stability.

How would that happen on a sold out cruise?

[Cruise a holic]

I believe the ships save a few cabins even when they report sold out

The sailing is not technically sold out.  I think it’s filled to something like 80%.  Royal did this on purpose to ramp it up gradually to full capacity.

Many years ago, the "economy" chains of hotels had a mechanical vibrator attached to the bed called at the time, "Magic Fingers", that could be activated for about 15 minutes for a Quarter.

 

Everyone tried it if just for "What the heck is 'Magic Fingers'?"

 

There might be small but niche market for this room.

I’ve felt vibration at places on every ship I’ve ever been on. Perhaps a Hilton Garden Inn would be a safer choice next time.

We are on Icon Deck 12.  No problem here.  In fact are group was talking about how smooth it has been so far.  

First thing I noticed in the room is the RC hard bed is missing.   The bed feels nice.

The ships move quicker at night and vibration sometimes is felt.  Not yet for us.

For these first few sailings she's supposedly sailing at 80% so there should be some cabins available to swtich.

There could be a ground fault vibration there (earth quake).

I've felt vibrations in every cabin on every ship I've been on.

Maybe the tires need to be balanced.

Radial or bias-ply?

 

Static or dynamic balancing?

 

One has to be over 50 year of age to even remember those questions.

Maybe honeymooners next door??

There were vibrations noted but no noise.

 

Highly unlikely with the few shipboard experiences I have encountered regarding honeymooners.

Did you have a good room on this deck ? Had been searching for cruises on Icon and Star for next September and rooms on deck 14 always available. I was wondering if these room are okay. 

[steamboats]

Definitely non vibrations in 14286. But there was a little noise - pretty likely from the Windjammer above us. Plus the overhang of deck 15 is not what I like.
