Connecting Door?? Noisy?

[debster]

We are currently in a stateroom that has a connecting door with the room next door.

Will we notice more noise with this?

All the non-connecting door rooms available are either aft or forward.

We currently are mid-ship in a Cat 6

We were blessed mad: ) with noisy neighbors on our cruise in November and most of the sound seemed to come through the connecting door. I haven't been in a room without the connecting door, however, so I can't offer a scientific comparison. Our cabin was a Cat. 5 in the forward part of the ship (right next to the forward elevators, in fact) on deck 7 and that didn't seem to create any kind of problems. If possible, I'd go without the connecting door in the future.

We had connecting doors on our cruise in October. But we were traveling with my parents and they had the connecting room, so it wasn't noise, but we did hear the people in the other cabin on the other side, more than we heard my parents and the kids. They wanted to sleep in their cabin and we were more than happy to let them do so.

We've had a connecting room on both of our cruises. We heard nothing on either trip. I think it really depends on your neighbors.

agreeing with others, just hope you get good neighbors. we were connected with family so if they were being too loud we could just yell at them but it was only muffled noise at the worst. the noise isn't what bothered me....it was my MIL and SILs knocking on the door constantly to see what we were doing. i wouldn't worry, you'll probably be so pooped from cruising you won't hear a thing once you hit the pillow.

We had a connecting door and heard no noise coming from that side of the room.........now the other side, that's a horse of another color!

We've had a connecting door twice. One time it was a secret porthole room, and hubby dubbed the people next door the Kickbox Family because the kids loved to slam each other into the door! It was probably worse for us because we don't have kids to make any noise to drown them out. Based on that experience, plus an even worse one on RCCL, I wouldn't do a connector again.
But the other time we had a connector on DCL, we rarely heard the other family. They had kids, I guess they weren't into kick boxing.

On our 12-13 cruise..we had an adjoiner...5522 with 5524.

We never heard any excessve noise from the other room.
Occassionally we heard "raised" voices at children...but then
I'm sure they heard some from us too....lol

I wouldn't normally book one...but it was the only SPR left when we booked.

You'll most assuredly have noise, which is why I'll never take a stateroom with a connecting door again. I had one once - with a nice older couple staying next door. They weren't overly loud by any means, but I could hear their conversations (not the actual words), heard them coughing, and heard when the grandson came to visit (thank goodness he slept in his parents' stateroom). I can only imagine how awful it would have been if it was a noisy couple with a couple of rambunctious kids in there (or a baby who is certainly going to be crying at some point)- yikes!

In one word "Yes." That was my experience on my 3rd cruise with DCL, when for the 1st time I had a connecting door between my cabin and the cabin next to mine. At least I put it down to the connecting door between the 2 cabins. The other 2 times I sailed with DCL, there was no connecting door between the cabins and less noise from the cabin next door. Of course, other people have had different experiences.

I think it all depends on who is next door. If they have children with them you are more likely to probably hear noise. On our first cruise we did NOT have connecting rooms, but every night at around 3 or 4 o'clock we would hear a girl whining about something (couldn't tell what she was saying) and a father yelling back to her, "You are 8 years old! You shouldn't be acting like this." and so on and so on.....this was EVERY night on our 4 night cruise. I don't know was wrong with the girl, but she had to wake up everyone every night.

Again this was NOT a connecting room, just the room behind us (on the other side of the back wall).

That is the only cruise we have every had problems with hearing other people in our room. We have been on 3 other cruises since then (but no connecting rooms) and all has been fine.

So, even without a connecting room, it is possible to hear the people next to you if they are really loud!
