I was wondering about the aft staterooms on the Fantasy. Do all or most of them have issues with noise and/or vibration? Are some decks better than others with these issues related to the mechanics of the ship? Experiences, advice?

It's been a while since we sailed the Fantasy, but our room was in the aft (deck 10) and the bed felt like one of those massage beds you find in some cheap motels due to the vibration.
 

The vibration will be impacted by two major factors: Whether the engines are running at or near full power, and prevailing sea conditions. We were on the 9-night Greek Isles Cruise in June and for the first two nights, the vibrations were something - but we still had a great night of sleep. Then we had a few consecutive days and nights when it wasn't an issue at all. Then we had a rougher day when wind and sailing conditions were a bit more rough than expected... and all was quiet on the last night
 
We just stayed aft on the Fantasy 12 day med deck 10146. We were not affected at all by the vibrations. There were a few times where there were vibrations but it wasn’t disrupted and more when docking or leaving port. The other time was when we had to go full speed to get closer to land for a medical helicopter evacuation off the coast of Greece. We had no rough seas either which I’m sure makes a difference. We sailed GTY so the cabin was assigned be we wouldn’t hesitate to book there either. It was quiet with cabanas above us and we liked being under the bump out as we always has a nice shady balcony to enjoy.

We stayed 9 Aft once and that is exactly how I described it to DH who was still asleep when we were docking one morning. The kids and myself were cracking up watching him in what looked like a cheap motel bed. :goodvibes

If I remember right, other than that 1 morning while docking it didn't really have much of an effect on us. This was 9 years ago though, so take that with a grain of salt. :blush:
 
We purposely book the aft rooms for their oversized verandahs and love it!! There may be some vibration when backing in while docking though truthfully I believe our last 7 night eastern cruise there was none. Our favourite is 7194. But always best to book where you will be the happiest.
 
These are our favorite rooms. Love the oversized balcony and relaxing looking at the ocean and where we sailed. It is so peaceful. We have never been bothered by the movement of the ship, maybe we are lucky. Pearl members here and have sailed in these cabins on the Fantasy and Dream at least 10 times. Some people say there is extra movement, I don't doubt them. If you are prone to being bothered by the extra movement then choose elsewhere - I am sure you will be happy anywhere :) The large balcony is such a plus though - nice to get a lounger and just relax out there all evening.
