rojaan19 Posted October 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We are currently on deck 9 on the Silver Muse. The TV is now in the big mirror over the desk. We can hear the TV from the suite next door when their TV is on !! NOT HAPPY !! We had dinner with hotel director the other night, SS is aware of the "problem" BUT I am glad I brought ear plugs with me ! Obviously nobody thought of sound insulation during installation !!! 🙄 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted October 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2023 That would drive me nuts, especially after I had gone to bed at night. I think you had already asked your butler to have a word with them? Do you think the noise comes through even when TVs are on fairly quietly? It sounds as if it is a known problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayflower1 Posted October 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2023 How interesting rojaan19 that The Hotel Director indicates that ' They are aware of the problem'. This ' Problem ' has been apparent since the Ship was launched but nothing has been done. From our experience it does not relate to your Neighbours having their TV on a loud volume just as you say minimal Insulation.( We tested the Volume Issue with Friends residing in the next Suite and we/they could hear at low Volume ). Also moderate level Talking/Coughing etc is easily heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted October 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Yes it is a known problem. It is down to be fixed when the Muse goes into dry dock. but looking at it's future voyages it is grayed out for November/December 2025. The whole TV system is to be replaced we have been told. To me that is too long a time. We are hoping they get off in Hong kong and the next occupants don't watch the TV very much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted October 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2023 SS should supply earplugs for everyone - I have never thought to take any on a cruise, and I am sure I am not the only one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardowMD Posted October 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Oceania New Vista having similar issues with insulation between cabins. Wonder if same shipyard/architect? Valu engineering by cruise company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the wall mounted screens to the glass walls. In fact, every guest I spoke to on Muse didn’t like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancunian Posted October 21, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Sadly on the Dawn recently we could hear next door’s television. Fortunately they used it very little, and I think it was a case of them having it on too loud. We could not hear anything else from either side of us, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHF Posted October 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Do you know if the Muse has this problem in all the suites? I am booked on her in November 2024. Thanks, Missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted October 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It is certainly a possibility in the Vista and Veranda suites but fortunately most people don’t take a Silversea cruise to w a TV or movies all day. We did sail in a silver suite on the Muse and didn’t have the problem though it was at the start of 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Missy I could just hear the murmur of next door’s television in my verandah suite last month. However, as @drron29 stated, people don’t usually spend the day inside watching TV. My neighbour was in isolation for five days, but I still rarely heard the television. Perhaps some guests just have the volume turned up too high? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted October 25, 2023 #17 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The people from next door have disembarked. A full ship for the next segment so hopefully the new occupants won’t watch TV. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les37b Posted October 26, 2023 #20 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I didn’t notice any undue noise from our Muse voyage a few months ago, but maybe we had considerate neighbours or that final glass of wine before bedtime was a great sedative eliminating this problem! 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
