rogerdm Posted August 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I have only been on the shore of the ocean and loved the sound of the waves slapping the shore. I am in a RS on the Connie this November and Mercury next November. Will I be able to hear the waves if I leave the glass doors open? I know this sounds stupid but I have never been on a ship before. Thanks for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecowen Posted August 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Out at sea you will hear the sound of the water crashing up against the ship as it sails through the waves. When the seas are rough, it can sound just like waves crashing on a shore, and you can definitely hear it with your balcony door open. Usually, you'll just hear a steady rush of water, more like being near a waterfall then the beach. In any case, sleeping with the balcony door open is one of the great pleasures of cruising!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSilver Posted August 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2004 It's the primary reason I get a veranda toward the front of the ship and on as low a deck as possible. It's very soothing to me to hear the ship cutting thru the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuggers Posted August 8, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2004 At home, in the summer, I sleep with the bedroom door cracked to the screened pool with the waterfall on so I can hear the water! This sounds even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theawesome1 Posted August 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2004 The rock of the ship teamed with the sound of the sea as the ship cuts thru it is heaven at sea to us. Boy do we sleep too! Even in Alaska we kept the door open, just add blackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanBound Posted August 10, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yes! We kept the balcony door open every night while on Galaxy. It was great. (We used a bungee cord to keep the door open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanBound Posted August 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2004 On Galaxy, we attached one end to the balcony rail, and the other end to the balcony door door handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theawesome1 Posted August 11, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks Caribbeanbound. Never heard of the door not staying open unless wave action has it moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
