Dave, if you ever publish a "NOISIEST ROOM LIST" please put #2633 at the very top!

My advice to anyone with that room, who does not live on top of an active volcano and enjoy it -- change rooms!!! Noises were CONSTANT and from all directions! Vibrations from below so bad at times (when coming into port at about 5AM) that every light fixture in the room rattled and shook, as well as the bed. Noises came from many sources and all directions, when one source was not producing noise, another was, continually day and night but worse during the night (below me, above me, beside me...). On the 3rd night of the cruise, there was loud music from below (staff area) along with cheering which began around 1:30 am, which was when I headed out of my room to go to another stateroom that I was given to sleep in.

Guest services provided me with another stateroom on deck 7 to use for sleeping (I was with 2 other parties in adjoining rooms on deck 2). Both thumbs, all fingers and toes down for room #2633.

I had inquired about upgrading at the terminal prior to sailing and was told by the Supervisor that there were no rooms available, it was a full cruise. On the 3rd night of the cruise I couldn't take it any longer and went to Guest Services to lodge a formal complaint (thinking that there were no other rooms available as per terminal conversation with staff). Was given another room to sleep in. Wished like heck that I had not been told at the terminal that the cruise was full as I would have approached guest services before the first night was through. My friends wanted to video my stateroom for a few hours during the night because they couldn't believe the noise in there. To Anyone who experiences the noise and lack of sleep (and exhaustion) that I did -- go to Guest Services IMMEDIATELY and seek resolution, they were very empathetic and accommodating.

A letter will be in the mail to DCL concerning #2633 from me, the lack of sleep really did exhaust me (especially after 4 nights at WDW) and it certainly did put a damper on my cruise, unfortunately. I was too tired to take excersions or attend some activities with friends. With the exception of that, the cruise was wonderful.

FYI: As for my friends rooms, #2635 and #2637, they could tollerate the noise they experienced the first 2 nights, but the music on the 3rd night distrubed them along with some other noises and on the 4th night, the noise was as severe as that in that in my room, so they did not sleep at all on the 4th night of the cruise.
 
Oh no! Ali, as you know, we have 2635 and 2637 for our kids for the cruise. I'm going to e-mail now and see if there are any other connectors! Thanks for the info....and so sorry you had a bad experience. Sleep deprivation is the Worst!! :(
 
Hi Fawn,

So sorry to disappoint you on the rooms. The two rooms that your family has were not as bad as mine on the first 2 nights. On the 3rd night it was the music mostly (some noise) that disturbed them and the 4th night was very bad. If DCL can not move your family prior to the cruise, when they are onboard, if they experience noise the first night, nip it in the bud immediately, have them go to Guest Services and request other rooms. The folks at Guest Services were very understanding.

I walked my friends to the area in which I previously had a room on the ship and they could not believe the difference in noise level simply in the hall, at they point they expressed that they would have forgone the connector for a less noisy area.
 
Sorry you had such a bad experience. All of the rooms you mentioned are on my "noisy room" list (<a href="http://www.dcltribute.com/faq/deck2noise.htm"><font color=blue><i>link</i></font></a>), but I'll make a note to update the list to place particular emphasis on the warning away from 2633.
 

Thanks Dave. It is my hope that nobody experiences the noise that I did. Your list is a very valuable tool; your efforts are much appreciated.
 
Uh oh- our room (2646) is on there. ANy advise from here guys? Should I request a different room- see we got upgraded from cat 11 to cat 9, so I was happy. Then I heard this room is noisey, so I requested a different room and she said that I can either take a cat 11 room or a room on I thought she said deck 1 as a cat 9, (I MAY be wrong on the deck number). So I chose to stay where we are and see for our self how noisey it is. I like the fact we have a window now. SO did I do the right thing?
 
I noticed 2114 is on your noisy room list. Do you know specifically why? I noticed that we're situated below one of the lounges, but if I remember, it was fairly quiet there.

Thanks

Not knowing what your specific alternate options were, I can't comment on whether you did the right thing. I gotta warn you, though, that 2646 is pretty far aft. The most aft rooms on Deck 2 have a <i><b>considerable</b></i> amount of noise when the ship is at sea. You're right in the area where the screws (propellers) are at work, so there is noise and vibration. It may not be a huge problem for you... if you enjoyed the "Magic Fingers" that you used to find at roadside motels, you might enjoy this. But I would at least want to know to expect it.

I don't remember specifically why 2114 - 2129 is on my list. I roamed the halls of Deck 2 at 11:30pm one night while we were at sea and that area struck me as noisy. I'm not sure what the source is though. 2114 probably is not <i><b>too</b></i> terribly noisy.
 
Ok, Now I'm really nervous! I am taking my mom on the Wonder Oct. 17th.
She is 73 and an extremely light sleeper. This will be her first cruise!
We have stateroom # 2600 should I be concerned. I don't want her to be miserable!

Help!

I wouldn't worry nearly as much about 2600. It's right on the edge of a noisy zone. You'll hear noise while you're out in the hallway, but it's probably fine in your room. Not at all like 2646.
 
Thanks Dave! The voice of reason has prevailed :)
I guess now all I have to do is pray for a Hurricane/ rain free cruise!
