Ship - NCL Viva
Deck - 13
Stateroom # - 13304
Stateroom Category – Haven (HE)
Starboard or Port Side - Port
Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Not really:
-There was a constant whistling sound coming from the fan in bathroom.
-We could hear conversations/laughter from the pool deck below when we were on the balcony during the day. We could also hear music that was being piped into the area below us on deck 8. It was somewhat faint, but definitely noticeable and got very old after a while - one evening we didn't even sit on the balcony because the techno music was so annoying. We walked around the entire 8th deck (where they pipe the music from) and the only area where we think you might not be able to hear it would be on the other side of the ship, further forward. It seems like the best option for Haven rooms would be higher up or aft.
-Occasionally we could hear the the slide door slam closed & people screaming as they slid down. Hours were limited for the slides, so we only noticed it a few times.
-A couple of times we heard a door slamming down hall. The room doors were all soft close, so we decided it must be a staff door that was just down the hall from us. We only noticed it a few times, but one day it happened multiple times between 5-7am. I think a lot of people had ordered room service then.
-When we were at high sea we could hear the creaking/tapping sounds that others have mentioned in the Prima. It only happened a couple of times when the see was somewhat rough.
Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No
Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. –
Looking straight out the port side or looking aft was fine. If you looked forward you could see the slide. Most of the time it didn't bother us but a couple of nights it impeded our view of the sunset.
Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal
Was wind a problem? - No
Any specific problems with this cabin? -
This room does not have a full length mirror.
The shower drain slowed as the week went by, and was so stopped up it overflowed a couple of times.
Any other comments? -
