FishOn55 Posted January 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Researching a Central Park balcony booking for May 28 Wonder sailing. We have always cruised in an ocean facing cabin on Oasis ships but decided we may try a Central Park cabin because of a great rate on this sailing date. My concern is noise from what I have read is a very loud movie/video screen somewhere above these cabins. Can someone who has sailed on Wonder address this noise concern? Would a certain deck and/or cabin location be quieter than others in this category? Not sure exactly where this screen is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I would think decks 11-14 in the actual Central Park area, between the 2 sets of elevators, would be ok. Deck 9 and 10 could have noise, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that they had concerns as to how close to Central park they those would be since CP is on 8. You don't need to worry about 9 since there are no CP balconies on deck 9. We've stayed on 10 numerous times without any issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Baltic Posted January 19, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2023 And each side of the screen, they are speakers. They might look small compared to the size of the screen but they pack a punch and the crew is not afraid to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted January 19, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Never deck 14. Under public areas. We enjoy central park deck 10 even love deck nine cabins. No balcony on deck nine, but a beautiful window seat. It is a very peaceful quite spot. Unlike the Boardwalk, you will not be bothered by any real noise. I would go crazy hearing all the noise, especially the merry go round and bell from the rock climbing wall all day. Central Park is A good option if you are on a budget.

I personally haven’t stayed in CP rooms but maybe the other end of CP would be better. We loved spending time in CP on Oasis but not so much on Wonder.

TX_Atlantis_Cruiser Posted January 19, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I was on Wonder last July and spent several evenings at the Trellis Bar in CP and wasn't bothered by the big screen at all so even if it presents some noise during the day, I think it is not a problem after dark. I have stayed in CP Balcony cabins on other Oasis ships and have loved it each time, looking out on the park while sitting on the balcony is unique to these ships and to me almost as enjoyable as an oceanview balcony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when there wasn’t anything playing on the screen, they still played music or background artificial bird tweeting. For us it was needless and took away from the ambiance of the space. IMO there are other places for music, there’s no need to have it everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those like me who might want to sit on the balcony and read during the day, how much time is devoted to screen time and or noise? Any first hand knowledge if you can hear the screen speakers during the day or at night with the balcony door closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t stay in a CP room, I just know we spent less time in CP as it wasn’t as pleasant as Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on deck 12 over Christmas and we never noticed but we never sit out on our balcony. Never an issue in the evening. The only issue we had was our door did not seal when it was closed. If you looked at the seal you could see right outside, this meant there was c constant whistling sound. Maintenance did come and fix it quickly enough but it then made the door very hard to close. I have a feeling the next people in the room will be calling about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got off Wonder after two weeks on board and walked through Central Park at all hours because we always book on deck 8. Other than the light from endless promo loops and puppy videos on the screen, we never once saw them playing a movie (or anything with sound) there, and there was never any mention in two weeks of cruise compasses of anything ever playing on that screen. So if you are bothered by the world's largest night light or piped in bird noises I'd avoid CP balconies, and if you want to sit on your balcony and watch a movie you won't be able to do it there.
