LisaH Posted May 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hey all, my parents may join us on our PC cruise on Jewel 3/10. They only cruise in Junior Suites as my mom wants the bathtub option. Question is, on this class of ship the JS's seem to be only under common areas. Are there any cabins that would be quieter than others? Which ones to avoid? Thanks for your expert advice. They are very hesitant. We are so hesitant that I would rather have a top of the line balcony cabin than book a suite under a common area. My mother is a light sleeper as well.

uktraveller Posted May 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi, We had JS1094 on Serenade , which is under the outdoor area of the Windjammer and we were awoken at 5.30am everyday by noise from above. So I would recommend you stay away from that area. However, I have read several posts from people who stayed in Deck 10 cabins and heard no noise at all - so hopefully someone with that experience will reply!

cb at sea Posted May 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2008 They won't have noise--don't worry! That's why deck 10 is primo! We alwasy stay on deck 10 and are never bothered! Now, when you're on the balcony, you can hear your neighbors, but that's just one of those things--it's the same on a hotel balcony. The cabins are quiet.

I always wondered why they would put the most expensive cabins under common areas but apparently it is trouble for some according to UKtraveller above. Which cabins did you have where you were happy? Anxiously awaiting...we booked 9576 (superior balcony) again as even tho it is not a suite, it was the nicest and quietest cabin we have ever had and it had an awesome balcony - bigger and better than the norm. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J&G Posted May 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2008 We had 1570 (deck 10) in December and didn't hear a thing from above. I'm a very light sleeper and I would have noticed. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted May 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2008 We've been on Jewel in a JS on Deck 10 and heard nothing. We were in 1080 which, while under a common area that part of the common area has carpetting (it's the Windjammer) so never even heard chairs being moved. It was a great suite. We are booked in 1576(same area on other side) for a cruise later this year. I don't think I would book a JS directly under pool area though as I've seen posts that mention noise in that area.Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted May 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2008 On Radiance, a sister ship, we always try to get a JS and have stayed in 1548, 1542, 1546 and 1560 and have never heard any noise. Pretty soundproof in the mid-ship areas. As someone else mentioned, the JS cabins aft may have some noise from the WJ outside eating area. When we had JS 1596, we did occasionally hear noise from the WJ in the evenings when they were cleaning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali07 Posted May 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Our last cruise we had a deck 10 aft JS on the Seranade (below the windjammer). We never noticed any noise at all from the Windjammer and we loved the cabin (the view is great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbaamd Posted May 13, 2008 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2008 We had a great cruise on Jewel in JS 1542. Never heard any noise, and were just steps away from the CL. A short walk to stairs and lifts. Would highly recommend this area. Rick and Deirdra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaH Posted May 13, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks to all who have responded. I cut and pasted all the pertinent cabin info and sent it to my parents. I appreciate it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked for Panama 3/23/09. All of the JS are gone now. Are you sure they are available on your cruise? Might want to hurry and book.

madforcruising Posted May 13, 2008 #13 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I always try to stay one deck below the pool deck and have stayed several times on deck 10 on the Jewel and deck 8 on Vision Class ships. Never had a noise issue in any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyCruiser Posted May 13, 2008 #15 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for all who posted here. I was waffling on a junior suite on deck ten, but was concerned about being under the Windjammer (I usually book a deck with passenger decks above and below). The observations posted here helped. I booked the JS. Just another reason I love Cruise Critic:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boyzmom Posted May 14, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We have cabin 1100 aft on JOS . Is the Windjammer open in the morning? I'm hoping to run up and grab some snacks to bring down to the cabin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGodiva Posted May 14, 2008 #17 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We have cabin 1100 aft on JOS . Is the Windjammer open in the morning? I'm hoping to run up and grab some snacks to bring down to the cabin :) Yes, the Windjammer starts serving buffet breakfast about 7 in the morning. I've got JS 1100 too! When are you going? If it's before 11/30/09, let me know how that cabin is. I picked it especially because of comments on these boards. I love being in the back of the ship where a minimum of people pass by your room. We just got off Vision of the Seas where we had the JS 8088 also a corner aft with a terrific wrap around balcony. I hope we'll enjoy 1100 as much. I actually know where Ft. Salonga is! I've been there, used to live in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

es_2009 Posted July 11, 2010 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2010 We just got off the Jewel. There was definatley noise from above our cabin 1576. Also could hear the folks next door. I dont remember hearing so much noise on the Explorer last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there, used to live in NYC. We have had JS 1100 on the Jewel and Serenade and have it again on the Serenade this Oct and on the Radiance next year - wonderful stateroom with a huge balcony and never had a problem with the outside Windjammer area above. Like the advantage of only being one deck down from pool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekgirl16 Posted July 12, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 12, 2014 in cabn 9576 was the bed next to the balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 12, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 12, 2014 in cabn 9576 was the bed next to the balcony? I believe all the JS staterooms on Radiance class have the bed by the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbaamd Posted July 12, 2014 #25 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) 9576 is an E1 on Jewel. Under deck 10, so no common areas above. We've been in 9576 on Radiance, Brilliance and Jewel. Love it. Not a JS, but a very convenient cabin, little noise, a bit larger balcony. And the bed is next to the closet.
