Help with info on Caribbean Princess ocean view suite

[Little Doe]

Can someone tell me how loud the Fiesta Deck ocean view suites are? Do you hear noise from above and below decks? Also if you were in one, what were the pros and cons? Thanks so much

Those cabins are known as Window Suites.

 

A quick search will yield many threads with near-unanimous praise and very few reports of even minimal noise issues:

We were in F309 window suite last week in the CB and loved it. the only time we heard a sound from other passengers was when our neighbors were watching the football championship game. We had our own "secret" passageway which was kept shut at all times and kept it quiet and absolutely no smoke smell from Churchhill lounge, which also has doors.

 

We did hear some noise from the stabilizers when the sea was on the rougher side, sort of a groaning sound, mostly the first night out of Houston. Definitely bring ear plugs.

 

The cabin was spacious with a lovely bathroom, 3 closets, and a total of 22 drawers not counting the bathroom.

 

We would book one again in a heartbeat, excellent value and we really enjoyed the many suite perks.

Thank you so much for the information. We booked one of the window suites but worried about the noise. I appreciate the advice.

We were in the same suite in August 2013 (British Isles cruise) and had one night (out of 12) of groaning noises that at times sounded like the ship was breaking in half. Ever since, we make sure we have our ear plugs on every cruise just in case. Given that one sleepless night we would still book a window suite again on a cold weather cruise (in warmer weather we prefer a balcony) - the location is great, we love the suite perks and the prices are usually only slightly more than a mini.

Does anyone have any info/pics on F303 on the Caribbean Princess?

We were in a window suite on the Caribbean Princess sailing R/T from Southampton last year where the seas became so rough that the stabilizer noise was absolutely deafening. whining, screaming, banging constantly. You could not talk over the noise so much so that the front desk even acknowledged that it was truly unbearable ... .AND it lasted for 4 days out of the 7. We loved the suite but will never take one again for fear there will be rough seas. Too bad ,,lovely ship, great staff, and the ports were wonderful..especially Brugges.
