acruisingcouple Posted August 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We are currently booked in a balcony cabin on deck 13 port side towards the aft. I have read that some cruisers in the actual aft balcony cabins have experienced some noise issues due the music being played at Spice H2O and was wondering if the noise issues are as bad in the balcony cabins on the side towards the aft. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted August 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We were on the Breakaway last year on deck 13 in an aft cabin. The noise was so bad that the walls were actually shaking, never again. Two years prior we were on deck 11 aft. You could still hear the music but it was OK. We will be on deck 9 in a few weeks, aft again. I am hoping this room will be nice as 2 decks from 13 to 11 made a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFred Posted August 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yep, had an aft balcony on the Getaway last year, right under the Spice speakers. It was like Jurassic Park...shaking so bad the water in the glasses was dancing to the bass. Going on the Escape this October, no where near those speakers!

luvtheships Posted August 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I was aft deck 11 and the bumping and movement back there was horrible. I doubt any of it was from spice though. It just that the aft is a bumpy ride any which way Midship low is where we are from now on Ok so those that love aft cabins now go to town and post what a smooth ride it is.

aggiemom11 Posted August 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yikes!!! We are in room 13300. Anyone know about this one with noise?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted August 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2016 You are right in the noisy area they are talking about. There are BC balcony cabins like yours two decks down on deck 11 - might want to change to one of those to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising_Bif Posted August 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2016 What about cabins on the aft hump? Are they forward enough from Spice to avoid the music and vibrations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denatravels Posted August 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Is this noise at night, or also during the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 9 is quiet except for the wake sound, if you are on balcony you can faintly hear the music, indoors nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted November 4, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 4, 2016 i read through this thread and now i'm concerned about my possible choice of 13290 from a noise perspective on the BA. any first hand accounts from cabins in this immediate area would be appreciated. i am not concerned with noise if i'm on the balcony, just inside with door closed. one review of this cabin elsewhere says noisy but unclear if door was open or closed. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leekel619 Posted November 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yep, had an aft balcony on the Getaway last year, right under the Spice speakers. It was like Jurassic Park...shaking so bad the water in the glasses was dancing to the bass. Going on the Escape this October, no where near those speakers! Different ship but we were in an aft-facing on the Dawn in June. Deck 8 right above Bliss Lounge. I still get chills when I remember how atrociously loud the music thumped in our room from 11pm-3am every night. I could hear all the lyrics. I could hear the DJ. Luckily it was only those hours. And only one week. (Everything fantastic otherwise!!) Jurassic Park is right! [emoji23] especially the scary parts. The speakers are literally mounted on the floor under our bed. It's my own fault. We were on the first cruise after the re-furb. The stateroom we were booked in originally...we lost when dry dock was extended. We called immediately to re-book. Aft-facing in our yearly preference. Deck 10! I vaguely remember my TA saying this new booking may be loud and replying who cares we'll take it. I've posted a few times warning passengers. It's good for those who will be down in Bliss all night anyhow so the noise won't bother them! Looking forward to May! Back on the Dawn.

pacruiser13 Posted November 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just beware, we had a midship balcony on deck 12 on BA and were right above the outdoor bars. It was very loud at night. Most nights if we shut the doors it wasn't too bad. There were no quiet nights on the balcony though and on nights when there were football games on we could hear the noise even with the doors closed. The smoking section was also right below us.

Hoosier1439 Posted November 9, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2016 We stayed on the BA Aft Deck 11. We could hear the bass but it did not keep us up at night. The ride in the Aft did in fact rock us to sleep:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride in the Aft did in fact rock us to sleep:) good play on words..bass..rock as i'm about 7 or 8 rooms from the aft balconies, i'm estimating we will be ok and i actually think we are below the spice water feature if my scientific method of holding up fingers to the computer screen to determine distance, is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
