riversidecruiser Posted April 17, 2009 #52 Share Posted April 17, 2009 In a VS did you find the Anchor being dropped very disturbing early in the morning. ? Given a choice which deck VS would you take ? Brian We didn't have any problems with the sound of the anchor; of course, we enjoyed getting up early and watching all of the activity. The VS on the 6th Deck offer a great view of the crewmen docking the ship. On the other hand, you're right next to the crewmen docking the ship:p For noise, the problem is the sound of the waves hitting the hull on TA crossings. VERY loud:( It was fine once we hit Bermuda, however. If I booked another VS, though, I think I'd opt for deck 7. As regards the wind, it is quite windy, but shelter is provided by the enclosed "railing". It was still possible to lay in a lounger to catch some rays, but still have a little shelter from the wind.

orchestrapal Posted April 17, 2009 #53 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Brian:Only book 7th deck as the 6th deck VS not only have the anchor noise but also the drums and vibration of the music from the lounge below both afternoons and evenings until about 11:30. The ride will also be somewhat smoother on 7. The views from the front are incredible but the calm and quiet of the back OS are also worth something to us.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted April 17, 2009 #54 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Both riversidecruiser & orchestrapal covered it! I am also an early riser. DW is not, but she could sleep through anything!! I am usually up in the Horizon Lounge before 6:30 am. If she's awake, it's best if I leave her alone---tends to growl when approached too early. It's amazing the number of pax. that are out walking that time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Claudia, I think we met you and your husband in Tahiti??? We were the couple from Melbourne and on the roll call. Sorry if it is not you - thanks about the advice anyway.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted April 18, 2009 #59 Share Posted April 18, 2009 For those who have not been in an OS/VS, but are planning to do so, one can not install any software on the O supplied laptops. That's why I bought her a 10" netbook to bring on board. Worked out great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
