Pursuit/Venture Penthouses: Noise/Disturbance from Zodiacs?

[notjaded]

We have been contemplating taking a Zodiac-intensive cruise on the Pursuit and having a PH suite. We notice that the zodiacs are stored above the PH suites, so wonder how much noise or other disturbances are experienced by PH suite occupants?

 

Many thanks for sharing your experiences.

Regarding the PH suites on the Venture/Pursuit, I suggest that you look at the Panorama suites, if you don't need the extra/extra room. For my wife and I, on board Venture earlier this year, it was a very nice, well located cabin and it gave a great view of the loading/unloading the zodiacs.

We are on Venture now. You definitely hear the loading/unloading of the zodiacs, but it's a rather short process, so only a minor issue.  It did wake us up a couple of times, as the scouting zodiac usually leaves rather early, but we kind of had to get out of bed anyway. 

 

Our Venture expedition cruise in Iceland and Greenland has been an incredible experience, which I highly recommend.

Response #3 above is consistent with our experience:  you’re definitely aware of the when the zodiacs are being lowered/raised, but it’s a brief process.
