Noisy Cabin? - Emerald Riviera Deck

[tommyboy7]

We are a little late in booking the Emerald for January. We are sailing with another couple, and have been offered rooms R701 & R709.

 

From a quick glance at the ship map, it looks like we're mighty close to the stairs and elevator. We also pretty high, and pretty close to the back.

 

Any thoughts as to how much noise and/or movement there might be. My wife can be prone to some slight seasickness, and I'm a bit noise sensitive.

 

We've cruised before, and had no problem in the middle of the Caribe deck.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've never had noise problems with being near the elevators and frequently choose cabins there. My only problem with noise has been the people who cannot close a door but insist on letting it slam shut. That varies by who the neighbors are on a particular cruise. When the slammer is a nightowl it wakes us both up.

We like being at the rear of the ship but have no problems with sea sickness.

We were in R745 right under the chairs and it was a nightmare. We heard the chairs scraping all day/night. No motion sickness, though.

I've stayed in R739 and had no noise issues. There is carpeting above in Cafe Caribe so there wouldn't be any deck chairs scraping and the carpeting should provide some sound insulation. I didn't notice any extra movement in 739, and I've also stayed mid ship Caribe (as a comparison to the two locations).

Perfect location, Princess cabins are some of the most soundproof. Being near a stairwell or elevator is a non issue in my book.

We will only pick cabins on Riviera in the 600-700 area when we stay on that deck. ;)
