dosi58 Posted August 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi, Im looking to book 2 Promenade interior cabins on Freedom of the Seas There's availability in : 8287 and 8289 - but there's a blank spot between 8287 and 8283 8595 and 8597 - but there's a blank spot between 8597 and 8607 7587 and 7589 - but there's a blank spot between 7587 and 7583 7287 and 7289 - but there's a blank spot between 7287 and 7283 Can anyone tell what are the blank spots about? Is it were the towels\sheets etc' are stored and used by the stewardes? (I wouldn"t want to be near a storage with a lot of movement around....) Thanks for any info you could provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted August 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) They most likely are crew service areas. If so, activity around them would generally be during the times of day when your stateroom is being made up. I wouldn't be overly concerned.

cb at sea Posted August 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The larger white spaces are storage or closets....there really shouldn't be added noise because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I suspect the smaller ones are linen lockers, where the cabin service carts are kept, the larger ones are likely pantries, where the stewards have ice makers and glass washers.

CntPAcruiser Posted August 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I've also heard these spaces can be access to the performer areas above the Promenade. In general, beware these unknowns. We booked on board for a recently past cruise and were repeatedly assured that the blank space showing on the cabin diagram opposite our stateroom was "nothing at all" or "just a stairwell." I should have known better, but you'd think the loyalty ambassador wouldn't lie outright. Of course, it was the galley area, so every night and morning we had noise from them collecting glasses and dishware, banging around carts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaMW Posted August 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2016 On Freedom now and we are in 6315. Well was woke up this morning to slamming in the adjoining space yes storage and noisy. I would stay away from the spaces from now on. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted August 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Over the years I have booked guarantee cabins that always seem to be assigned next to the "empty" spaces. I have been next to: - elevator equipment rooms - pool pumps - access doors for crew who slammed doors all night Avoid if possible! Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted August 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I stayed in room 2001 on the Jewel that was surrounded by a blank area ... it was the crew hallway. I heard them each time I ordered room service and that was pretty much the only time there was noise in that hallway. I absolutely loved it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stay away from the spaces from now on. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app I'm in 6321 in November which is on the other side of the storage closet from you. Is this wake-up a daily thing or intermittent? I'm usually an early riser for breakfast but would like to go back to sleep on sea days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love PalmTrees Posted August 17, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2016 We once were next to a storage closet, actually on the other side of the wall next to our bed's headboard. Every morning at 4 am I was awoken by loud banging, etc. I guess that is when the staff started restocking the area. I can't say it ruined my cruise. I have never been on a bad cruise!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merly Posted August 18, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Once stayed in a cabin opposite a "white space". It was a crew access area and the door banged continuously. Now we will avoid white spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit-Cruiser Posted August 18, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We were next to a white space on the Navigator last year. We were awoken every morning around 6.30 by carts banging & lots of other noises. We were moved to another cabin after 3 days. We also, will now avoid rooms next to white spaces.
