Prima- Noise?

[SPacificbound]

Having just read about endless banging and noise in Prima cabins, I am wondering if anyone has compiled a list of reported noisy cabins. TIA

NCL has.

 

but they are not sharing that list.

 

there are a couple mentioned in the cabin thread here on CC... and a few more mentioned in passing in various reviews and other threads.

 

one such cabin that i personally experienced was 11344.

 

avoid at all costs.

 

many people go on the prima and never encounter any problem whatsoever with cabin noise. others are not as lucky.

We have only been on the Prima twice and did not encounter any problems.

Which cabin are you looking at?  Will be easier to answer your question if we know!

Haven OS 12928 loud bangs and creaking noises in the master bedroom.

We had three days in a cabin on 10 on the Prima and then had to move because of the lack of noise!!!   They couldn't get the phone to work!!

 

The rest of the cruise was in forward bow cabin on 9, no noise problem there.

I'm staying in 14310 on Monday. I'll report back, but have heard it is nice and quiet. Hoping the report I read is true!

Just cabins on deck 9 below you and deck 11 above you.  I think you’re good with no loud venues on, above or below your deck.

We were in cabin 14100. The only noises we encountered were the wind occasionally whistling through a door seal on the balcony, and the door to the bridge area in the corridor outside slamming at all hours, but not frequently.

I just booked 14312 and 14314 for a 2025 cruise. Any feedback on those would be appreciated.

We had different noise issues, under the haven sun deck and they would drag around furniture all night long. We thought it would be quiet since not under the restaurant but learned our lesson. 15916.

Was in 14906 a few weeks ago and there was some creaking in our room during rough seas. Otherwise, the only other noise we heard was from the overhang of the haven restaurant with chairs scraping on the floor as people stood up/sat down. While the noise was minor IMO, there are people on here who expect their room to be completely silent...

oh, gosh, i haven’t read about anyone on cruise critic who expected their room to be completely silent. the ones i’ve seen complain about the prima have complained about a very persistent and specific type of noise that is known to NCL, well documented by NCL, and for which they apparently have developed a service recovery process, since it happens on nearly every cruise.
 

if you haven’t been in one of these rooms and experienced this problem, then it’s quite easy to say that certain guests are fussy or they’re malcontents or they expect their room to be like a reading room in a library… but that’s not the case. the prima has a known manufacturing defect that affects a certain number of rooms. if you have one of these rooms, during high seas, your room will shake and rattle as if poltergeists were in the walls and ceiling.

They moved you because the phone didn't work?  I honestly can't recall the last time I used the phone in my room so I'm not sure I'd even know if it didn't work.

What is a "service recovery process"?  Does that mean they have a process for dealing with the unhappy guest, or, they have a plan/process for fixing the problem?

IIRC, we used our phone once to set a wake up call. Now that I think about it there were a few times that there were messages, but I don't think any of them were very important.

5 sleepless nights in Haven 12906.

@PATRLR

 

I find it useful for guaranteeing a wake-up call and for setting up Meet & Greet meetings and combined dining for CC members.

That I kind of understand.  You were by the Medical Center and the Elevators.

[SPacificbound]

In looking up some of the Prima cabins with extreme noise, it seems that they are mostly in The Haven?

Nowhere near those locations. Was in haven and the clanking and banging all night was unbelievable.
