Joanandjoe Posted August 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2004 We're close to deciding that we will do the 11/7 and 11/14 back to back cruises on the Wind Surf. Our TA has given us a quote for category B room 155, which is the second room from the front, on the lowest deck. Is this going to be too noisy or too rocky? Should we ask for a room amidships, or maybe spend an extra $200 each ($100 per person per week) for category A? Again, your thoughts would be appreciated.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wenneke Posted August 7, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2004 We will be on the wind surf from september 2nd until september 12th, I can tell you how the room is when we get back. My TA told that the engine is at the back of the ship, so probably the most noise is over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Walt Posted August 7, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2004 The noise is aft, not forward, and is from the exhaust when under power, and from the resulting wake. The quiet rooms are in front. The lower deck is cheaper because it's one flight lower, not because it's loud...except from about 110 back. The best sound in the world is the ocean periodically slapping quietly upside the hull just outside your cabin. You miss that on the middle deck.

Joanandjoe Posted August 8, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks, both of you. We'll probably decide on Monday. Our room might be 154, which is next to an elevator; and that might be a problem. Maybe 155 will become free again - for the moment, we appear to have lost that room.

goldendaze Posted August 9, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi, Can't say for sure on the Wind Surf but I do recall hearing the anchor noise when we were in a forward cabin on one of the smaller ships. It didn't really bother us much but it may be a consideration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
