39august Posted May 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2012 A year or so ago, I was reading comments about problems with noise in Sky Suites as they are under the OV. There was some speculation that perhaps the newer Sotlstice class ships will not have this problem. Some of the accounts I read were pretty horendous! So, can anyone comment who has stayed in a SS on Silhouette? Reflection is not out yet, right? Considering Reflection winter of 2013-14 in a SS.

m1celt Posted May 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We have stayed in 2123 on the Solstice and 2127 on the Silhouette. While the Solstice was nosier than the Silhouette, we could still hear the carts as they rolled overhead in the Ocean View on the Silhouette. It didn't bother us that much and I would still book one of these cabins. However, someone who is more sensitive to noise might feel differently.

pete_coach Posted May 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We were in 2146 on the Solstice and had no issues with the noise. We are fairly early risers if that makes any difference but still, nothing extraordinary. On sea days, there was a bit of chair beginning around 7 AM but again, no big deal. I have also read about the horrendous noise and really have to take it with a grain of salt. It is a cruise ship after all, not a retirement village nor a secluded resort. Some people just like to complain ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedInLove Posted May 30, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2012 We were in 2152 on the Silhouette, almost dead center aft directly below the OV. We heard a little bit of chit chat when on our balcony, no big deal. In the evening, in our room even with the balcony door closed, we heard the staff dragging the deck furniture back into place. It was never very late at night so it didn't keep us awake, but it was loud enough that we'd stop tallking or have to turn up the TV volume a tad. The furniture weighs a ton so I get that they can't just lift them to move them. I've heard that ash can be a problem, but we never noticed any.

City_Woman Posted May 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2012 S2's are right under OV Cafe and yes, you can hear carts rolling. Some nights it bothered us, others not so much. This, in our opinion, is a bad design flaw for suite location. Another poster said what I agree: if you're a light sleeper it may bother you more. Judy p.s. Last trip on the Equinox we upgraded to an S1. We have found our favourite suite location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesn't bother them, can you tell me what time of night it mainly was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LewiLewi Posted May 30, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2012 We were in 2148 on Eclipse and never heard any noise and I'm a light sleeper. I was wondering what S1 Judy was in and why she liked it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_Woman Posted May 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2012 7356 Equinox Corner / Aft. Was very unsure until I was in there for 10 nights. Balcony and location and layout - just fabulous for us. Maybe not for everyone, but suited us the best so far! Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Pop Posted June 2, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We have room 2135 on the Silhouette and I am very sensitive to noise. Would ear plugs work? We're off June 24th out of Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
