serene56 Posted March 16, 2008 #451 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Did you have any problems being in a 5A since they are above the Atlantic deck (piano bar etc) with noise at all or where they pretty quite? I am assigned to 4144 on the Legend (had booked a 1A gty, so a pretty sweet sounding upgrade, assuming it's not too noisy). your cabin is above the shops- you wont get noise from that area. Your cabin is between two lifeboats so your view will be of the whole lifeboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sube Posted March 23, 2008 #453 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm going on my first cruise ever on RCCL SOS. I had no idea what I was doing and I picked a junior suite on deck 10, but then I read the cruise critics review of how to pick a cabin and it says to pick one on a lower deck. Have any of you ever stayed on the SOS on deck 10 and could tell me what it was like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgladmom Posted March 23, 2008 #454 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Try to find out where the exit door (I'm sure there's a proper name). On excursion days that we were met by tenders, they started preparing very early. It was noisy...equipment, people, boats and I don't know what else they were doing. On days we docked it wasn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivielane Posted March 23, 2008 #455 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Any comments? Have done balcony before, hope not be disappointed. Did these cabins because we are doing Pacific Coastal and didn't think we would be using balcony all that much to warrent the ever so much higher rate. Thanks in advance.

debs1505 Posted March 23, 2008 #456 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We've booked an F2 cabin - 4520 (dec 4) on the Sovereign. Very near the front of the ship apparently! Any comments - good or bad please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2cruisin2 Posted March 24, 2008 #459 Share Posted March 24, 2008 A friend of mine wants to include the Island Princess, Room 324 because the view is completely obstructed and the bar noise (i forgot is either above or below) is really loud.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL_Cruiser64 Posted March 24, 2008 #460 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry, it's the Sovereign in early June. I am going on the Sovereign in about 2 weeks (April 4). I am staying on Deck 10 (1048). Deck 10 outside cabins are all suites (JS, GS etc). What room are you in? Outside? Inside? What are your concerns regarding Deck 10. If you tell me I can look for it and report back. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted March 24, 2008 #461 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry, it's the Sovereign in early June. I stayed in a deck 10 JS on Majesty, Sovereign's sister. I actually posted this way early in this thread. I was kept up every night by a loud banging noise overhead. I don't know if they were moving tables, etc, but it was very load, very annoying, and always around 2 am. It lasted for hours. It was so bad, I asked to be moved to another room. I was willing to downgrade in order to get some sleep. Unfortunately, it was a full ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted March 24, 2008 #462 Share Posted March 24, 2008 By the way, it was JS 1562. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL_Cruiser64 Posted March 25, 2008 #463 Share Posted March 25, 2008 By the way, it was JS 1562. You were right under the pool area. I will be in 1048. It's right next to the elevators. So no noise from above. Let's just hope it is as quiet as any other cabin near the elevators. Well, between the two of us Sube should get some good info.

sube Posted March 25, 2008 #464 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks! I am staying in 1046. How funny is that? I had no idea cabins near elevators are quieter. I thought it would be noisier. I appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks again! How lucky are you....LOL. We have 1048 (wife and I) and 1046 (my dad, sis and niece). If you want to I can take some pics of the stateroom. I'll kick a report to you no later than 4-8. :D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmor1 Posted March 25, 2008 #466 Share Posted March 25, 2008 8275 is a connecting cabin-- do you have friends in the other cabin?? IF not- what I would do is go down one deck and move more central. A few more cabins toward the aft will make all the difference in the world For two weeks--- I would think a little closer to the action= on deck 8 the windows are slanted out some-- where on deck 7-- its between cabin space and away from public areas. Your views will be great. Hi Serene56 Just in case I am unable to upgrade later in year I have decided to take your advice and move down a deck. We are now booked into 7287 for both weeks. This appears to be pretty central. What do you think? Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskywizard Posted March 26, 2008 #471 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi folks, we don't have much cruising experience so I'd welcome any and all comments. Brilliance of the Seas, cabin 9660, is one the 4 balcony cabins at the aft end. Any feedback - good or bad - since we still can change it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubiecruiser Posted March 27, 2008 #473 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi folks, we don't have much cruising experience so I'd welcome any and all comments.Brilliance of the Seas, cabin 9660, is one the 4 balcony cabins at the aft end. Any feedback - good or bad - since we still can change it. thanks Hi there, remember me from the roll call? :D As you may have thought, we're aft lovers. We have had cabin 9256 corner aft on the Brilliance for our 2004 cruise. We moved next door to 9258 for our Med cruise this year. We loved the cabin and huge balcony. No problem with noise since the outside seating area for the Windjammer is up two decks. The only drawback is the long walk to midship where the elevators are but we found that to be no big problem. There is a "secret" stairway marked crew only right next to cabin 9256 that leads down to the walkway on deck 6 and also up to the Windjammer. I used a a few times to bring down snacks in the evening. The doors are sort of heavy, but it sure saved a long walk. Cabin 9660 was the cabin my BIL and his wife booked but had to cancel. You wouldn't happen to be a pilot would you? Just wondering. Aubie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so odd to find out who had booked and dropped the cabin; the internet is a marvelous thing. Nope - not a pilot. Not in the traditional sense. We have a boat and I do "pilot" that. I manage a reactor fuel storage facility for a big nuclear-electric utility. Doreen is a kitchen designer. Cabin is now fully booked. Our TA is still checking on flights. We'll likely fly Air Canada and avoid the RCCL flights to reduce a connection. Doreen and I are really looking forward to meeting you. regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saratee Posted March 28, 2008 #475 Share Posted March 28, 2008 We were upgraded from midship to forward cabin on the Norwegian Star....will NEVER take an upgrade again. We were right under the anchor and it sounded like the ship was being torn apart. Anchor was dropped twice on our Mexican cruise and both times, my husband and I hit the floor from a sound sleep, heart racing from the ominous sounds it made. And we were upgraded to the top deck of cabins......ugh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
