Are The Inside Staterooms Sound Proof?


Recommended Posts

They can be quiet, but not in the sense of a land version of "soundproof" - you might hear loud voices or a tv or a door slamming or a toilet flushing. Some rooms are better or worse than others depending on their location.

 

Remember the ship is made of metal - and it is a moving, flexing thing on the water.

No the staterooms are not soundproof.

 

With that said you don't hear much when you are in them. You may hear the occasional neighbor toilet flush, or a door close in the hallway, but they have never been enough to disturb me in my sleep, and nothing that disturb or became obnoxious while in the stateroom.

 

Can I ask....why do you ask?

No cabin is soundproof, but they are insulated to a degree. I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about noise...there are no jackhammers or other truly annoying, repetitive sounds. You WILL hear when loud folks pass your hallway doors...in ANY cabin. You will hear squeaking or closet door hinges. You will hear your toilet flush. You will hear occassional thumps and bumps.

No place is totally quiet....not even your home!

I wouldn't call them sound proof, but sound muffled unless the neighbors get really raucous and loud. We've never had a bad experience with noisy neighbors. You can definitely hear the cabin doors snap closed when you are in your cabin and people's voices going down the hall. No real problems to report on any Royal Caribbean ship we've sailed, however, I have heard others report of over zealous neighbors.:cool:

No they are not sound proof.

 

So if you tend to scream during certain activities, keep in mind your neighbors might hear you.

 

 

P.S.... I meant like screaming at the television during political debates, or sporting events.:eek::D:eek:

I knew that was what you meant.

I just wanted to make sure that the neighbors wouldn't hear my friend screaming at the T.V.

Sometimes my friend can be a little loud.

One cruise our neighbors woke us up every morning at 7:30 with the volume of their TV. I wanted to complain, couldn't sleep, but DH said it was their vacation too. :mad:

 

On another cruise, the moans and groans were coming right thru the wall. That time I was sooooo jealous! :p

Earplugs help. Regarding the loud TV in the morning, it might be the cabin steward cleaning. They always turn on the TV while they are working in the cabins. Check next time, because he/she can turn it down.

 

Maybe friend should go to the sports bar or casino and watch the games. LOTS of yelling there!
