gary705 Posted December 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2015 We got on last Thursday in Fort Lauderdale, and we are staying on deck 5---- They are doing major construction work on deck 4--from 9am to 5 pm it is so noisy you can stay in the rooms We are unable to stay in the room to even have a conversation, Seabourn says' oh well -too bad for you . The work started Friday and will go for several weeks, If you are coming on next week bring ear plugs,,,, Last trip on this line Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no indication of impending work. What on earth are they doing? Were you warned of possible works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Catlover54 Posted December 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) That is terrible! Is the work they are doing perhaps some kind of emergency repair? Have you talked to the CD or HD? If this was routine scheduled maintenance, for each day you could not relax in your suite, it would seem reasonable compensation should be in order ( and I do not mean just a bunch of chocolate-covered strawberries) Edited December 6, 2015 by Catlover54 error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add : Maybe SB is following in Silversea's footsteps (or should that be wake) and building new shops mid-cruise. ;) But on deck 4? Perhaps they're turning the Restaurant into a large boutique? :p I board next week. I'll be sure to pack several pairs of ear plugs.

gary705 Posted December 6, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The construction is not connected with the dining room, looks like they are building additional rooms There was no warning and if we do not get something back after gold status, we will not be not this line again, Appears seabourn is getting closer to carnival Gary705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigella Posted December 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thank you for your reply about the construction work. I'm quite shocked by Seabourn's response to your complaint and I completely understand you being angry and disappointed. Have they offered to move you, or is the ship full? I can't imagine what they're doing to the suites on Deck 4, given the location of your suite. Are other guests also complaining about the noise or does it only seem to be in the vicinity of your suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted December 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Please get back to Nigella about the details! And hockey pucks! Believe it or not, we are in 514 in a few weeks and so are all ears, too. This noise business and purported failure to make good regarding your understandable complaint is unprecedented in my 15 years of Seabourn travel. Happy sailing!

Odyssey twice in just a matter of several weeks? Chin up ! It's a hard life. ;) I'll definitely update when I've been onboard for a couple of days although we're on deck 6.

markham Posted December 7, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nigella, Yes, a dark horse as you put it, but also one which is entirely predictable. Gladly so, too. Odyssey is my favorite ship! I look forward to hearing from you during your upcoming cruise! Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliana Posted December 7, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We board Odyssey next week and are concerned about the noise. Does it permeate to deck 6? Curious that only Gary has posted a complaint about the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxburgh Posted December 7, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We board Odyssey next week and are concerned about the noise. Does it permeate to deck 6? Curious that only Gary has posted a complaint about the noise Bear in mind that the vast majority of Seabourn guests do not use, or even know of, cruise critic and that the noise was probably fairly localised.

No responses as yet - they're obviously all enjoying their cruise too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted December 7, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nigella - this sounds a bit reminiscent of a certain other line you and I both know, and not at all like Seabourn. Let's hope it is something soon resolved, and also of course that the OP comes back to report on findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softsands Posted December 8, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Simply doesn't pass the smell test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted December 8, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Softsands, You're probably correct that this stuff about weeks of construction near 5 deck does not smell right. Like gary705 of "room" 514. If a cruise line wanted to perform major renovations they would use the time in dry dock to do so. Everything else is routine maintenance and done within hours. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigella Posted December 8, 2015 #22 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Never fear, Markham! I'll be on a mission to investigate fully and will be sure to report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Able Seaman H Posted December 8, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We have heard maintenance works being carried out from time to time, the worst being hammering to remove flaking paint but never to the extent it ruined a cruise. Had it bothered us I'm sure a call to the square would have had it stopped. Tends to be on port days as well when most pax are ashore. Not a problem unique to Seabourn.

That's the thing here, the way OP describes Seabourn's handling of the problem sounds....odd and unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary705 Posted December 8, 2015 Author #25 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We are still on the ship and they are still doing construction, they are taking some storage rooms on four and making a new crew lounge, We have not heard back from seabourn if there will be any compensation The noise is very noticeable Gary 705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
