Rare stevenr597 Posted September 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2011 My wife and I are scheduled to sail on the MS Azamara Quest this comming February. We had booked a V2 Club Veranda Stateroom, but we recently have been given the chance to upgrade to a N2 Club Continent Suite. We think that these suites are on Deck 8. Deck 8 is just below the deck where the pools and cafe is located. Because of this the question of noise has come up. Would the suites be very noisy cabins? In the past we have tried to book a cabin between decks with other cabins. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room is about 50% larger, with a larger bathroom, a Butler, and complimentary specialty Dining. Here's a list of Suite amenities from Azamara's website : http://browse.azamaraclubcruises.com/dc/plancruise/ships/cabinclass/cabintype/home.do?br=C&cabinType=SS&cabincls=D&shipCode=JR If you have other questions, feel free to ask.

tgg Posted September 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2011 My wife and I are scheduled to sail on the MS Azamara Quest this comming February.

In the past we have tried to book a cabin between decks with other cabins. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Just curious. You said you "have been given the chance to upgrade". Is this a free upgrade or is it an upgrade at a greatly reduced price? The suite is half again as large as the balcony cabin. The closet space is much better, the bathroom alone (which has a bathtub) may be worth the upgrade price (if there is one), and you will be able to eat in the specialty restaurants without paying the upcharge. Butler service can be a big plus for some people but wasn't for us. The only problem with booking a suite is that it will be hard to go back to a regular balcony cabin in the future.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Gilly Posted September 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Just have to agree with everything other posters have said. Didn't notice any discernible noise in 8063. I loved everything about this cabin- size, amenities, butler etc, etc. GO FOR IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickypicky Posted September 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My wife and I are scheduled to sail on the MS Azamara Quest this comming February.

Deck 8 is just below the deck where the pools and cafe is located. Because of this the question of noise has come up. Would the suites be very noisy cabins? In the past we have tried to book a cabin between decks with other cabins. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. We have stayed in a V1, 8035, under the pool deck. The noise from the cleaning of the decks in the middle of the night was disturbing, even with my trusty white noise machine running (it didn't bother my DH at all, so I guess it depends on how soundly you sleep). It is possible that they have rectified this situation, but don't know when else they would do that particular job. For our upcoming cruise we have booked into a V3 on deck 7 so as to have staterooms above and below us. Having said that, were I to be offered the opportunity to upgrade, I wouldn't hesitate:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had priority dining and could elect to dine there nightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANTHEMAN Posted September 15, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Stayed in 8039 (free upgrade:)) in 2008 and was never disturbed by any noise. On occasion we would hear what sounded like very distant thunder..presume that was chairs being moved above...but was in no way disturbing. Go for it!!

Redtravel Posted September 17, 2011 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The week before the cruise, if the suites aren't sold, Azamara calls and tries to upsell the suites. Prices vary. Some people get deals. Some people get taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare stevenr597 Posted September 19, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Forgot to say, I have the same question as TGG--is your upgrade offer complimentary or discounted? I hope that I did not give the wrong impression. It is not an upgrade, we are still paying a singificant amount for the suite, just not as much as we had originally planned.
