Wyuna1 Posted June 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We have booked a Grand Suite on Rhapsody of the Seas (8005) which has a interconnecting door to an Owners Suite. Have not experienced a interconnecting door on any previous cruises. I was wondering how much noise is transferred from adjoining cabin and if so are there an remedies.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMCAT22 Posted June 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can't say about doors between suites but in adjoining staterooms you do get a little noise.You can normally tell when someone is in the adjacent cabin with connecting doors but not what they are saying or tv noise etc. I suspect that noise won't be an issue in your case as the interconnecting door probably won't be between the noisier parts of the room. A towel at the bottom of the door normally muffles sound a bit.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted June 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Twice we have had rooms with connecting doors and we never had any problems with noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think the noise transmission is highly dependent on your neighbors. We've had two cruises with connecting staterooms. One we could hear nothing from next door, the other we heard loud TV and loud talking at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Stuff a towel under it, if noise is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted June 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If you have good hearing then you can hear whats happening next door and it also depends how inconsiderate your neighbor may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa010 Posted June 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) We were in 8004 OS on Rhapsody 2 weeks ago and didn't hear anything from 8005. We did have the bingo winner move in next door (I really hate that "prize" for several reasons) and we did hear them.

leaveitallbehind Posted June 30, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We have had connecting staterooms a couple of times and have not had a noise issue with that. There are two doors in place - one in each stateroom - so it is a pretty good barrier. BTW both doors have to be unlocked from each stateroom by the stateroom attendant to gain access between the rooms so they can't be accidentally opened by each stateroom passengers.

Rare JamesEM Posted June 30, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2014 On some ships the cabin will have a chair instead of a sofa when there is a connecting door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted June 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 30, 2014 when I was on the Liberty in 2011 we had a connecting cabin and you could hear alot. We could hear them fight and make up if you know what I mean. This was my dw first cruise and she said never again, but that is just us. I am sure it all depends on who your next door too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it all depends on who your next door too True, and we also prefer non-connecting rooms - but (based on category) more for keeping the love seat v a chair. But there can be noisy neighbors anywhere with any stateroom category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-Badger Posted June 30, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We were just on the Liberty 2 weeks ago and had a stateroom with a connecting door and never heard them - and they had 2 children under the age of 10. The only time we heard them was when we both had our balcony doors open. Like always - I think it depends on the neighbors. If you have loud neighbors you can hear them connecting door or not.

cruisnpat Posted June 30, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We on the Oasis in Nov/Dec Cabin 14313 which has connecting doors. Can someone verify that we have a couch and not the chair. Also how about noise from adjoining room. Thanks for any information you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone tell you about noise from an adjoining cabin when the cruise has not happened nor do we even know if the cabin will have passengers.

We've had connecting staterooms and they were just one door (on Freedom and Allure, and on Disney Magic). It seems like if it was 2 doors, it would not have to be unlocked by the attendant (just like in connecting hotel rooms), since neither room could open the other room's door.

I'm sure some one out there has sailed in that cabin before that might remember if they could hear noise from the other room or not. And yes I know that I haven't sailed that cruise yet.

dancinman66 Posted August 22, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Now that's funny Neighbours I've never had an issue there. Just marginal noise but a big party could be happening in the owners suite :) Just make sure you get an invite Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyTales Posted August 22, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 22, 2014 We've had a connecting room and heard a lot. Now always chose a non connecting room. Also don't like to be above the casino. I guess I have good hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crilski Posted August 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 23, 2014 As I have shared before - we had a connecting cabin . . . . with a hard of hearing man, that yelled, was mean and grouchy, and the TV was turned on LOUD! We could hear everything. We requested a move - and after checking with our room attendant - we were moved. Thank Goodness! I will NEVER book a connecting cabin again. Not willing to take that chance. There is not always an open cabin available . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF_Knight Posted August 23, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We won't do connecting cabins again with strangers on the other side of the door. We did it once on Radiance and could hear everything from the room next door (talking, TV, "intimate" moments) as if they were in the room with us.

We had connecting rooms on Enchantment a few weeks ago (one for us, one for the kids). There was definitely only a single door between the cabins.

dcarjn Posted August 23, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We had connecting rooms in an Oasis balcony in May. Never again. We were woken up at night by loud talking, we could hear how unhappy they were about their bill, how much they spent on drinks, etc. I felt like their voices were amplified by the connecting doors. it was miserable.

2Shoes2Go Posted August 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Could hear talking and plenty of activity through the door; there was but one. Then one trip, a child rattling the door handle on several nights, from the other side. Won't take an adjoining again.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
