Joannedisfan Posted July 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I was looking at the deck plans for our upcoming cruise. I notice in the back was a large open area? Is this a crew only area or a sitting area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted July 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) That is a "Crew Only" area. It is where the aft mooring lines and winches are located for docking. Google "Volendam stern" for photos. Edited July 28, 2016 by Heartgrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted July 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Generally public areas are labelled or "hatched" like the Verandah and Navigation deck stern areas, while unlabelled white space is crew only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannedisfan Posted July 28, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm in cabin 1958. Will this be noisy or fairly quiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted July 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Sorry to say it will be more than likely noisy. You are directly over an engineering space. There are also two stern thrusters, used to propel the ship sideways when docking, just forward of EE1958 that can create quite a bit of noise and vibration. There are symbols (circle with an "X" represented on the hull) for their location. Unfortunately most docking occurs in the early AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted July 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2016 1958, as has been ably noted, will be noisy, at times anyways. Better than near the engine room stacks, which can have noise AND vibration! You may find under the thermostat in your cabin a small sign warning about those side thrusters. We didn't think they were a big deal, but we don't sleep in past docking in the morning very often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
