VOS Owner's Suite

[Flyinman]

My family will be sailing on VOS March 15th for the first time. I have booked an Owner's Suite and have been in one on several other ships but not VOS. We are in suite 1300 and looking for information regarding noise levels either above or room to room. I have been on some ships that are very quiet while others I can hear everything going on next door. Also any other info to throw in about the suite and ship will be helpful.

 

Thanks,

J

You shouldn't have noise issues in that cabin--the newer ships are fairly well insulated against noise.

Just like at home, it will never be completely silent, and you'll be able to hear it when folks let their doors slam shut, or are carrying on while walking past your door....none of this should be annoying!

We were in 1314 just last week. I'm happy to say that we never

heard either neighbor--ever! When I did catch them in the hallway

I asked if they could hear our TV or music and they both said no.

Now I did hear some noise from up above this time. It must have been

a cart up by the ice cream machine. Nothing too major and my sound

machine blocked it out.

I was pleasantly surprised by a few extra perks on this cruise for

suites. The champagne in the embarkation area was a very nice touch

to start off the cruise. And for debarkation the suites meet in the

Seville dining room and have a hot breakfast set up with waiters.

Much nicer than dealing with the windjammer and faster than ordering

in the main dining room. Martin, the concierge comes and escorts you

off the ship when it's time. The whole disembarkation process seemed

to be much more organized. I didn't see the normal crowd of people

camped out by the door waiting to be called.

Oh, I almost forgot, something that really impressed me. When I

stepped into the CL for the first time, Martin addressed me by name

before we had ever met! Nice touch. He will be in contact with you

via voice mail often throughout the cruise and I found he had excellant

follow up with any desires/concerns we had. We didn't find the CL

very crowded but then again we have late seating so perhaps we

missed the crowd. Martin spent part of his time upstairs but there

was always a bartender to pour us a drink. We always found a

place to sit down with plenty of empty chairs.

I'm sure your weather will be better than ours was. We didn't get

in the pool or ocean once. But on the positive side we really got

our money's worth for our room this time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the replies. Oh yes I am not expecting completely silent but we were on the Rhapsody a couple of years ago and heard the kids, parents, etc. at all hours of the night. The Serenade was a bit different as we never heard neighbors but did hear carts above us which was not a big deal. Good to hear you had a great cruise as my least 2 cruises on RCCL have been less than par.

I agree, the Vision class OS's have some noise issues. But I actually

prefer the room layout better. They Voyager class seems to be

more soundproof.

We stayed in 1308 last week. We had no noise complaints. Very nice. I can second the kudos to Martin (concierge)...always helpful and pleasant.
