newcruisertk Posted August 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The balcony rooms on deck 10 under the Lido deck are extremely noisy due to movements of chairs on the Lido desk. When we complained, after our first day of cruising, Carnival acknowledged problems with our room and offered 20% off. I wanted to change rooms but none were available so I took the 20% and purchased ear plugs. I asked others cruisers in balcony rooms on deck 10 below Lido and they too acknowledged the noise problem. I suggested they complain and get a discount as compensation for the noise. Lastly, I must question Carnival's integrity since they continue to sell these rooms knowing that there are noise problems. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfun Posted August 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This happens on every ship and on all the cruiselines I have sailed on. Experienced cruisers know not to book any room that isn't stacked between other cabins. Never book a room that is over or under a public area. Also the cost of those rooms that are over or under the loud public areas are less money than those that aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klfrodo Posted August 18, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I learned that lesson the hard way. No, I didn't go crying to the pursers desk. Imagine that. You have an upstairs neighbor and you can hear noise.:eek: OMG!! It was a life lesson. Next time, an aft balcony, but 2 decks below the lido deck.

kujobie Posted August 18, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Shoot. I'd book a room there on purpose to get the 20% off and bring my own ear plugs. That would be like $200 off minus the 69 cents spent on ear plugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDYJABS Posted August 18, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2010 All Cruise lines - not just CARNIVAL have noisy cabins under the Lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruisertk Posted August 18, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted August 18, 2010 As you might be able to tell from my username, newcruisertk, I was unaware that cabins under the Lido deck would be noisy. The noise problem was from moving chairs and not from people. I would have thought that insulation or rubberized ends on the chair legs would have been considered. Anyway, as another poster suggested, it was a life lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamo951 Posted August 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2010 So did you stay on Lido or on Deck 9 (Vista), because Lido is Deck 10? All the rooms on Lido, have rooms above and below them, so noise should not be an issue if you stay on the Lido! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
