Focused1 Posted September 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We are in the process of booking a cruise on the Fantasy concierge floors. We have our choice of Deck 11 or 12. We are considering deck 12 as we like that the concierge lounge is also on the deck 12. However, we notice that the sun deck and bar are just above. Does anyone have experience in staying on this deck? Should we book deck 11 or 12 if we are concerned about noise above us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalves Posted September 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We've been on deck 12 and had no problem at all with noise from above. Loved that the lounge was so convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted September 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2016 We stayed on 12 forward and heard no noise from the sundeck above. The concierge sun deck barely got used and the public one would have people up there once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear3412 Posted September 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Deck 12; I've heard deck 12 gets lots of noise from above. Chairs moving about at all hours. Crews washing decks starting at midnight. Then again at 4am. Crew rigs mounted outside the rooms off the balconies of 12, blocking views. Moving about. They also wash too much. Also in port and at sea. :( Crew may end up on your balcony without notice in port. During the day it's constant noise with pax above. Carts rolling about at all hours. Crew storage closets are on 12 and generate tons of noise. The traffic on 12 to the lounge is deafening. If not forward of the lounge, oh my. It's a constant back and forth of traffic. Doors slamming constantly. Elevator traffic, oh my. Lounge access is keyed on 12 which often doesn't work. So pax bang on the side doors to the lounge. So pleasant for those nearby. not. A level above Spa. Elevators always crowded down to spa/adult pool. Staircase down to 11 always crowed with ....... from deck 12. So it can be difficult, and confrontational at times to get down to 11, given the pax from deck 12 who tend to congregate on said staircase Deck 11; Pick a cabin on deck 11. Larger balconies (deeper), closer to Spa. No stairs to adult pool. Ecstasy exists on 11. Pool deck / lido to room w/o stairs / elevator. Balconies enclosed mostly so no annoying wash rigs / crew. Balconies protected from weather / rain. No stair trauma. No teen stair/stare encounters. Back door hidden stairs to lounge to avoid the riffraff. Secret luggage elevator. You likely get you luggage first. The concierge are always perusing deck 11 too :D :p :) ....... Edited September 15, 2016 by bear3412 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted September 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Please contrast the above post of "I've heard....." with 2 posters who have stayed on deck 12 with no noise issues. Each of us has different experiences. However, a lot that I've read about specific cabins has ended up to be not true when I've stayed in that cabin. I've also been in cabins with "good" reports on line and had problems in that cabin--a call to housekeeping or guest services usually got it fixed.

AlexandNessa Posted September 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Stayed on both 11 and 12. We do not book concierge if only 11 is available. Stayed 12506, 12512, 12000, and 11002. Happy with all Deck 12 rooms listed. No noise and I'm a light, late sleeper (work late shift regularly/ body not on a normal clock. As in 9am is an ungodly hour for me.). Also not happy with Deck 11 verandah. Very enclosed, was hot as a greenhouse or incubator (suppose this is a plus in rainy or cold weather, but August, um no). Also enclosure acted as a megaphone. Heard normal conversations clearly a couple verandas away. Did not enjoy being a floor away from lounge or being near elevators on same deck as pools (too many people come in from pools to those elevators. Always a wait). Will also suggest starboard side (125xx) if available so you can have nice view of Castaway Cay. Love being on veranda while arriving and pulling away from CC. Do not, however, book room over gym starboard. 12514, 12516, for example. Some trainers love early morning classes with too much bass to get the blood flowing. Enjoy. Let us know what you decide.

alaska_planner Posted September 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2016 i looked it up, we were in 12512 and it was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!! loved the location... i don't recall any noise and i'm usually pretty bothered by noise... my biggest fear was being so far forward, since we usually prefer midship, but it was fine....perfectly fine..

danzemacabre Posted September 17, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We have stayed on deck 12 also. 12010 Fantasy. Did not have one issue with noise we were in our room quite a bit as well. Only noise we heard is from folks letting their cabin doors slam shut! ☺ It is a great location, take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice the " :p " ? Or " :D " I guess not. BTW, we only sail deck 2 on the Fantasy. :D Lol Edited September 21, 2016 by bear3412 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
