flowers44 Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 DH and I are going on the Explorer of the Seas on August 28th for a New England/Canada cruise. I have booked an interior cabin 8341. It is a connecting cabin to 8339. I am concerned about the connecting cabin being more noisy or less private. There are several Category L cabins on Deck 10 that I could change to but I like the location of Deck 8 since it is about half way to both the pool Deck above and the restaurant/theater deck below. Anyone who has used one half of a connecting cabin configuration, do I have anything to worry about? I remember one time, a Travel Agent told me that she did not want to book me into a connecting cabin. Thanks for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesCruising Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I can tell you we had connecting GS on Explorer. We intentionally booked connecting with family. My daughter and son in law with grandkids were next door and I can definitely tell you we could hear the boys. If we were not traveling with others we wanted to be connected to - I wouldn't do it.

Merion_Mom Posted January 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2014 In my experience, there have been cruises where I DID hear the neighbors, and cruises where I did not. It may be more a function of WHO is next door rather than the connecting door. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had young children with us - they could get lucky and have 2 quiet adults next door - or not:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily room next to the teens again. Balcony doors leak noise too, though, so just avoiding connecting rooms isn't a guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that a connecting door makes much difference either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
