Something about a vent that made the balcony unusable.. Best I look again...:) You’re right, I didn’t scroll right far enough. Difficult to know whether that would apply on the other ships!

Also it looks like the bathrooms on deck 9 are right above these cabins. Any noise issues? Thanks!! Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica I've been advised (I think by Phil among others) that the last N1 (under the aft bathrooms) and first N2 port side cabins (under the Windows entrance) are the quietest – safe from pool chair or waiter cart noises. [I hope that's right because I have 8056 on Journey (equivalent to 8048 on Onward) booked for next year!] It should also apply to those under the forward bathrooms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica If it's "bouncy" you'll notice it a lot more than midship, but I'm ok with the movement. Didn't hear anything from above. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica You'll be fine there and you have the added advantage of the solid bulkhead to one side so will have more balcony privacy with the verandah cabin next door and more soundproofing that side too.

HarleyPoppy Posted April 19 #1312 Share Posted April 19 Onward 4031? Anyone stayed in or around this room? Any issues to avoid? Many thanks 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag Posted April 20 #1313 Share Posted April 20 Cabin Number 8060 Ship Journey Month/Year sailed April 2024 Would you choose this room again N Is noise an issue Y This a noisy part of the ship. There is exhaust or some kind of mechanical plant causing vibration and continuous low rumbling noise across the corridor from this suite. The aircon was turned up to create additional masking white noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best location for a CC suite, in my opinion: walk-in shower, low traffic, carpeting overhead, minimal motion, easy access to dining venues, Mosaic and guest relations. Will be in one of these suites for 55 days by the end of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise is not excessively intrusive, but is clearly audible in the shower room. I would prefer a suite either two or three further forward or aft of 8060, so as to moderate the constant drone.

Interesting that it apparently affects that particular suite. We always want a bow-facing bed, so maybe we've never done 8060 or its Onward equivalent.

I suspect given the flexibility built into ships structures to withstand vibration caused by more unpredictable wind and wave patterns unusual noise is something that’s potentially going to haunt you on ships regardless of their age And things can change overnight. Recently on a cruise that had previously experienced quite rough seas the captain highlighted that he had sounds that appeared through the night in his quarters which he had never heard in all the years he had slept there. Journey has recently had a few beatings at sea so I hope you’ve packed your earplugs - that’s what we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand the comment about some kind of humming noise outside of the suite. I also wondered what this was, but noise did NOT bother me once we were inside our suite. I was in Pursuit, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obobru Posted April 22 #1324 Share Posted April 22 Anyone know anything about Onward 4028 I see on the Azamara website on all other ships this is an accessible room but not on this ship yet it still looks to be large as the booking says 228sqft. Any photos or details of the layout plus if it has a sofa or not. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
