connecting room noise???

[beautyandbeast]

We just received our cabin number and it turns out it is a connecting room. Does anyone have any experience with the noise factor? I'm hoping there wont be any noise, that the door is insulated and fits snugly in the door frame!! ha ha. I am a light sleeper and wondering if I should request a different room. Any info would be great. Oh the cabin is 6606.

Thanks,
Lynda

No different than a connecting hotel room. Stuff a towel at the threshold of the door if you are worried about line-of-sight noise. Fit of the doors (by my recollection) is very good.

Beyond that, it just doesn't matter.

We had one on our trip. Our DD's were in the next room.

Like most connecting rooms, It is really two (very heavy) doors separating them.

Probably thicker than most walls.

We never heard them when the doors were shut.

We were in a connecting room last summer and never heard our neighbors from inside. We were not sure there was anyone even in the room until we heard them on the verandah. I found the door to the hallway let in more noise then the one from the connecting room.

Thanks for the reassurance. I will sleep better now.

I think it will depend on your neighbor. If they're noisy you'll probably hear them. My Mom had a connecting room. Her neighbors were quite noisy (they spent a lot of time in their room). She was very unhappy and made sure that on our upcoming cruise she wouldn't have a connecting room. HTH

If you are the least bit worried about it, switch it. I posted the same question here a month or so ago, and I got different answers......(I believe I mixed up adjoining and connecting..I guess there is a difference, I just don't know what it is!)

Anyway, we switch ours, just to be safe. Here's the thread...

I was told once by a hotel employee that connecting meant two rooms next to each other with the door; adjoining meant across the hall from each other. Go figure - I always thought they meant the same thing

We, too, have a connecting room on our cruise. Unfortunately, by the time I called our TA to have us moved to a nonconnecting room, they were all booked. I'll just have to hope for quiet neighbors.
