This is too freaky, I just responded to you on another thread about the website to find staterooms available. We have the very same rooms you have for our cruise! (They are near a hatch that I was told by
DCL is used for loading/unloading luggage.) After reading these posts and seeing Dave's List, just like you, I went to the web looking for other rooms, perhaps even upgrading. The problem with that is trying to find "connecting" rooms. We got the last cat. 10 connectors available, months ago! I hope you have better luck than I'm having! If we can't move, I won't let it ruin my vacation. Also, after looking at Dave's list and physically marking each stateroom on the pull-out from the cruisebook for when I call dcl and pester them again (and again and again), I realized that there are a lot of rooms on that list. Trying to avoid those rooms at this point for me seems like a huge challenge! Also, taking into consideration that there are so many rooms listed, I can't imagine that the noise could be that bad, I have not seen that many complaints about noise on these posts. So where are the complainees if the rooms are in fact too noisy??? It looks at this point like we will probably be staying in those rooms in September. I always want everything to be perfect, so I think knowing in advance that there may be noise will ward off the disappointment for me, but I realize that you will be honeymooning. I really can't justify the additional expense to go up to a veranda cat. which I what I would need to get connectors (the few rooms available for cat. 9 are on Dave's list).
In case you can not find other rooms, maybe this will offer you some comfort. I stayed in 2013 and was not bothered at all by noise. There was slight humming noise night 1 that I never heard again. Although 2013 is not on the noisy list, the room on the flipside of it, 2513, is. I should also note that I live in a very rural area and can't handle the noise of the suburbs never mind the city. If I am disturbed by noise at night it is typically a duck quacking or frog croaking that is the culprit. Having noted that, I had *no problem* sleeping on board, I found that the darkness of the inside cabin coupled with the slight motion of the ship and the pleasant weariness from the sun and fun of a wonderful day, lent to a very easy passage into a most wonderful night's sleep. The best sleep I've ever had in my life in fact (better than that in rural Rhode Island)! So I have resolved that if I can't change rooms, and even if there is some noise, I know that I am still going to be lulled into a very pleasant evening's sleep, and I am still going to have a wonderful time on the cruise.
Good luck on your quest! I may be able to tell you after my cruise just how noisy those cabins were...or weren't, if you remain booked in those staterooms.
