QE2 cabins below Caronia restaurant

Recommended Posts

We stayed in Cabin 1012 in January which is below the Caronia Restaurant/Princess Grill areas. There was very little noise from above us. It was actually a very good location as we were forward and higher so the engine noise and vibration was limited. The sundries store Travellers Cove was very convenient as well.

 

If there was a noise nuisance, it was the creaking of the wood during the night. Some call it QE2 ambiance...

I cannot recall any ship noise in 2070 when I was in there - but if you're worried about a little ambience from creaking wood - avoid the signal deck. The whole structure talks to you!

No - Aluminium in the Signal Deck.

 

2070 is, as I suspect you know (;) ) in the steel section of the ship.

 

It must be late - had visions of you time travelling to 2070 (thought you always travelled on Signal deck - obviously I haven't been paying enough attention!!)

2070 was my first crossing in 2003.

 

Since meeting my (now) wife we've always been upstairs.

 

There are certainly strong arguments for being lower down on a crossing. It's both quieter and more stable. But then you lose other things, so it's not clear cut.

Thanks for the assurance that there are no noise problems. Actually I like the creaking of the wood.

Yet unfortunately the cabin I was looking for had been sold before I decided.
