nextariel Posted February 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Has anyone stayed in a Sky Suite on deck 12 port since the refresh? Prior to refresh there were many complaints about the noise, wondering if this has been solved. Wondering which rooms are better for lower noise.

denys222 Posted February 18, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I am also curious about what , if anything was done to address the noise situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nextariel Posted February 19, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Still hoping someone has stayed in the Equinox deck 12 suites since the refresh. Wondering if the noise has been improved? Were the suite redone or just the Retreat added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if the noise has been improved? Were the suite redone or just the Retreat added? We stayed in a Royal suite in August- don't notice any change- perhaps some of the slip covers- As far as the refresh- unfortunately the Retreat wasn't completely finished- unlike the edge- no water features, no bar or restaurant- very hot an sunny- didn't bother using it- I cannot believe that they did anything to make the cabins more sound proof- but we stayed in a Royal not a sky. The alcoves were redone and we enjoyed a couple of days in them on the lawn deck. It is a wonderful ship and we enjoyed our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise47 Posted February 19, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Have Celebrity reduce the noises level on deck 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dylaness Posted February 20, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We were in 2150 on equinox just a few weeks ago. The noise was absolutely unbelievable. Honestly I can’t believe that they would sell any cruise room with this level of loud noise, but especially a suite.. The scraping and banging of the deck chairs began at around 6 o’clock each morning and continued throughout the day. Tired from being awoken so early and want to take a nap after lunch? Too bad, it sounds like there is a bowling alley above you. It wasn’t quite as bothersome in the evenings as it seemed to quiet down after 9 PM so I didn’t keep us from going to bed, We tried your plugs which dampened some of the sound but didn’t help the vibration at all. It was a really a non-restful week and I can’t imagine that they won’t have to do some significant reengineering to dampen the sound. I wouldn’t go on a cruise in this room again if it was free and I’m not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dylaness Posted February 20, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The balcony had two dining style chairs and a Decent size table, there was also a chair with the footstool that could recline somewhat but not completely flat, it appeared to be a different perhaps older style.

hrhdhd Posted February 20, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We stay in the SSs closer to the elevators (e.g., 2115, 2117), which have a bit of noise but not a lot. I do wear ear plugs to sleep (all the time, not just on cruises), so noise doesn't bother me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted February 20, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Has anyone requested a foot stool or lounge chair for the suite balconies. The new outdoor dining style chairs look very uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted February 20, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) We were in 2122 last month. A little “rolling cart” noise a couple times but nothing problematic and nothing affecting sleep. We had breakfast on the balcony a couple times, chairs were fine and larger dining table fit everything very well. Here are some room shots: Edited February 20, 2020 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Are you talking about noise from the Oceanview Cafe on deck 14 above? Not sure how that would be solved in the refresh. It is more likely solved by just choosing another deck below 12 if it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our room is under the beverage station, so hoping they cannot roll carts right there/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
