ricka47 Posted April 8 #1 Share Posted April 8 We were given a cabin under the buffet on the Koningsdam. We have not been on this class before. I can't tell from the pictures if the eating area is carpeted or not. Can anyone let me know - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted April 8 #5 Share Posted April 8 Define "too noisy ". People have commented here both ways....they heard noise, or others who didn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricka47 Posted April 8 Author #6 Share Posted April 8 Hard to define - I agree. We did a UK cruise last summer with a connecting room. That I will not do again, for sure! The folks next door had two kids who watched TV and yelled until at least midnight each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted April 8 #7 Share Posted April 8 I was in a Signature Suite under the Lido on the Oosterdam. I could hear the carts rolling to set up the stations in the morning but it didn’t really bother me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badtwin Posted April 8 #8 Share Posted April 8 We were assigned a balcony below the lido, port side between the mid and aft stairwells on the Rotterdam last fall. I was very worried about noise but pleasantly surprised we rarely heard any noise except for the above-referenced carts occasionally in the morning. We are early risers so I couldn't say if it was enough to wake us or if we just noticed because we were awake. Ended up loving location and its convenience to the lido and pool areas.

I am a light sleeper and the rolling carts did bother me. I would not book any cabin under the Lido deck pool or buffer, but that location doesn't bother other people. It is strictly an individual matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strictly an individual matter. Same situation here... the noise above on deck nine bothered me too, waking around 5:30ish every morning. Also, there was a female clomping around the lido (hard) in heels that was VERY annoying. It's a hard no to deck nine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57redbird Posted April 8 #11 Share Posted April 8 We were under a small uncarpeted area of the Lido, near Canaletto, & we heard chair scraping around 10 pm every night....didn't last long but any cabin under the Lido is a hard no for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell, the area above us should all be carpeted. But I think I'll try to get something different to be sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that this is the most obvious irritant, unless you like to be in your cabin when most people aren't. OP, keep in mind that the lido isn't open 24/7 on HAL. It actually closes relatively early compared to other cruise lines. We have went to the late night offerings and it was really quiet then. Crew prepping for breakfast can certainly make noise. If you are a light sleeper or a late morning sleeper you may want to consider a different location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a light sleeper and the carts going bump, bump, bump over the ceramic tiles in the walking area were very loud for him. L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
