Navigator Cabin Selection- Vibration Problem

[CruiserPK]

We are planning a trip next year on the Navigator and after a rather lengthty telephone conversation with a Radisson agent I would LOVE some feedback! She mentioned that the C1 and D1 cabins have been recatagorized for next year due to vibration in the back of the ship. So, does that mean these are terrible cabins? We were considering Deck 8 possibly cabin 859 or 861. I would appreciate any help! Thanks

I was in cabin 863 last year on the Navigator and never felt any vibration. We has breakfast in suite each morining at sea and did not notice the glasses rattling or any noise whatsover. We had calms seas, however if one gets into a storm, you are on a ship and likely to feel/hear something.

 

If this is a concern, perhaps you might book the cat between C1/D1 - D and select a mid ship cabin on deck 8.

Since most of the balcony staterooms on Navigator are the same and more than adequate in size, we have always felt that the best staterooms are down low and mid-ships. We were in 629 and it was perfect- stable ride, great view and convenient.

Yes, there is vibration (and kudos to this one Radisson agent for acknowledging this issue as the Radisson home office appears to pretend that there is no vibration problem on either the Navigator or the Voyager).

The vibration is most apparent in the rear portion of the ship and seems to lessen as you go forward on the ship. It is also most noticeable when the ship is travelling at higher speeds as when there are long distances between ports. My recommendation would be to look at mid-ship or forward of mid-ship.

Well that would explain the lack on vibration en route to Bermuda as the ship maintained less than 20 knots.
