How bad is a cabin below the galley ?

[funinthe sun]

I just booked our family of 5 two cabins on the Carnival DREAM ,1 interior & 1 cove balcony across from each other (deck 2). It looks as though almost all of the well-talked about "cove" balcony cabins are just below the galley. After reading many posts here ,I'm wondering if I made a bad decision. Most posts are very negative , stating how noisy these cabins are all through the night. We were not able to get oceanview adjoining rooms . And I'm not sure I'm comfortable in a reg. balcony ,as we have a 2 year old toddler. I know this is a brand new ship and reviews aren't out yet, but we're traveling in Nov 2009 and I love some advice .Has anyone stayed in a newer (maybe better sound proofed ) ship that can advise me or reassure me that these won't be terribly noisy cabins?

 

Thanks for your help....haven't been on a cruise for over 10 years and was looking forward to this trip.

For me personally I only book rooms that have cabins above and below them. I pay too much $$$ to risk the chance of being disturbed while I'm trying to sleep.

VERY BAD!

We were in cabin b621 on the Star Princess which was located below the Horizon Court galley

They deep cleaned it between 11pm- 3am

moving stuff, drawers slamming and then the water pressure hose

they didn't score a 99 on the CDC for nothing

we were eventually moved and then heavily compensated by Princess
