curlymason Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM #1 Share Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM Hi all! It’s been years since I’ve been on a Princess cruise, and never on this class of ship. I’m trying to choose between Deck 8 Aft over the lounge or Deck 15 under either the pool deck or the buffet. Any opinions? I’m not sure which will be quieter for my afternoon naps 🤣. Thanks!!

reedprincess Posted yesterday at 02:00 AM #2 Share Posted yesterday at 02:00 AM Deck 8 over the lounge. Rarely any late night music or noise there whereas under the pool deck or buffet will have early morning chair scraping or pool pump noise, all day chairs being dragged around or trolleys over the hard surface floor in the buffet, etc. way more chance of noise on 15. Plus, lower down, less movement overall.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BamaVol Posted yesterday at 12:35 PM #4 Share Posted yesterday at 12:35 PM Was there no third or fourth choice? I have been under the pool deck on another Princess ship and it was quiet (it was Alaska) but Enchanted in June would have been another story. But I’d rather deal with noise during the day than at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Cruiser Posted yesterday at 12:49 PM #5 Share Posted yesterday at 12:49 PM Another reason that I like deck 8 is that with the exception of the pools and buffet, most activities are on decks 5-7 which are all very walkable without having to constantly take elevators. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landlocked12 Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM #6 Share Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM We had an aft mini suite on the Emerald princess a few years ago that was directly under the lounge. Reedprincess is correct. There wasn’t any noise when we were trying to sleep, and we liked being able to take the stairs to the restaurants and bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have been over the lounge on Emerald Deck (8) on Emerald Princess - not under. Deck 9, Dolphin, is all cabins...

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted yesterday at 05:15 PM #8 Share Posted yesterday at 05:15 PM we loved deck 8, but we usually get an obstructed balcony since they are cheaper than regular balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted 20 hours ago #9 Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) @curlymason I would choose deck 8 because there’s cabins above your head and not public space. That would be my first choice. Depends on what category mini suite you would be choosing for deck 15. There are some cabins that have cabins above your head and some public areas.

Rare startedwithamouse Posted 18 hours ago #10 Share Posted 18 hours ago Deck 8. We're night owls, so usually the ones closing down the bars/nightclub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKCruiser007 Posted 18 hours ago #11 Share Posted 18 hours ago Another vote for Emerald Deck (8.) That is where we usually stay. Very infrequently do we hear bass thumping from the lounge below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s something going on in the lounge at night, I’m likely in there anyway 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am NOT a morning person lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
