Grand class emerald deck aft noisy?

[DrD]

We've booked one of the minisuites in the aft section of the Emerald deck on the Sapphire (that's alot of jewelry!) We chose this for the covered balcony, all other minisuites have exposed balconies.

 

My question is, has anyone had one of these cabins, and was it noisy? It's right over the Vista lounge/ club fusion.

 

Thanks in advance.

On the Grand and the Star we had both E728 & E279 and in the evenings there is noise that bleeds up from the Vista Lounge. It actually wasn't too bothersome as it gave us something to dance to while we were getting ready for dinner. LOL

We were in E726 on the Star, and yes, we heard noise from the lounge below. However, it was only during showtime in the evening, and usually finished by 11pm.

We were in E727 on the Caribbean Princess, and found it to be perfect. We only once heard some faint music before 11 PM, but so faint we werent sure it was imagined.

Thanks all. How did you like those rooms in general? I've booked us in E716.

The only difference in the rooms is the covered balcony, other than that they are all pretty much identical. Mini Suites are very nice on Princess Ships.

I've stayed in E728 twice on the Golden. Enjoyed the cabin very much (MUCH prefer the covered balcony to the exposed--have had both).

 

You've mentioned that you're in E716...I'm not sure if that's aft enough to experience noise from the thrusters, but we had a LOT of noise/vibration from the thrusters in E728 when docking or leaving port. It doesn't last long but, when you're sound asleep at 6 a.m., it is not a welcome sound!

We really loved our mini suite. The bathroom was very roomy, nice tub with shower. The two TVs practically side by side was a bit silly. One faced the bed and one the sofa in the sitting area. Fine as long as you were watching the same channel. The covered balcony was a big plus for us.
