Cabins under the casino, noisy?

[AVMom]

Hi, considering an ocean view cabin dircectly under the casino on the Grand. Anyone stayed under a casino before? How much noise can one expect? Thanks for any info:confused: !

We were on the Grand last year in a cabin under the casino and never heard it. Also, I spent a lot of time in the casino and noticed it wasn't very noisy overall, so figured that's why we didn't hear it in our cabin.

I think you will be fine.

I was in P328 Sapphire Princess which has the same basic ship plan especially for those cabins under the casino.

I too was a little worried, BUT, only heard a noise two times! Both times a vacuum cleaner for a few moments.

I was amazed we couldn't hear the casino noises, but as the earlier poster commented, the casino is not noisy like a Las Vegas type casino. Not all of those constant dinking noises, bands, loud music, etc.

Actually as far as noise, it was my quietest cabin in 5 voyages.

See http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=525874 for more comments on the plaza deck. Many people like that deck.

Thanks for the casino info. We had visions clinking coins and ringing bells all night long. Sounds like it will be just fine, we don't spend much time in the cabin (sleeping and changing clothes!). Looking forward to Alaska!

Is the Grand in Alaska this Summer? I thought it was only the Golden, Coral, Diamond, Island, Pacific, Sun, Sapphire, and Dawn. Maybe OP meant a "Grand Class" Ship?

My mistake, it is the Golden. I'm new to this, reading too many threads, reviews, deck plans.... Thanks!

No experience under the casino...BUT on a Golden Princess cruise a couple of years ago we did have a cabin directly over the Explorers Lounge and we got noise and vibration from the bands and music until quite late. For the first couple of night we couldn't figure out if it was the people in the cabins around us, but then figured out it was from the Explorer's Lounge. Beware of Deck 8!

As far as the casino goes, it all depends on the cruise and how many gamblers there are. I have not been on any where the casino ever gets all that loud. I think as other have stated that the lounges create more noise. Also, be careful with cabins under the Aloha deck (on most ships) on the open deck by the buffet. My wife and I found out the hard way that chairs slidding on the deck can be heard all too well.
