Disney Fantasy Deck 10 Stateroom -- Noisy??

I skipped the gym on the Fantasy, but I find it tough to believe that they actually have weights that someone would actually care to drop. Or you would think the staff would be concerned for safety of other guests. My last trip on the Magic they had dumbbells up to 100#,and that was about it for weights. Were people trying to do clean and jerks? snatch? I can certainly see someone involved with olympic lifting needing to bail, but without bumper plates, much less an oly bar what exactly are they lifting? Same with powerlifters and the deadlift, are they using the 100# dumbbells and dropping? Even then it's only 200#.

Could be the noise you heard were people slamming the medicine balls. :confused3
Seems to me "only 200#" could still make quite a racket.
 
10514 and 10512 were terrible if you like to sleep past 7 or 7:30. That's when people who don't know how to properly lift weights start dropping them on the floor, as well as start letting doors slam between rooms. Add to that the people who lumber on the treadmill in lead boots and it makes for very early mornings. Here's the review I posted:

The room was in perfect condition other than an iPod radio that never worked correctly, even when replaced. The only reason this was an issue is that music was the only thing that could drown out the incessant dropping of weights by people in the gym directly overhead who think dropping weights makes them more macho. I never slept past 7:15, and I’m not an early riser by any stretch of the imagination. The constant noise of doors slamming overhead and free weights being dropped from what sounded like overhead height, followed by vibrations that seemingly shook the ship to the keel, ensured that I would not actually be sleeping in bed on vacation other than the hours of 12-7, tops. This room, and others on the hallway (confirmed with several neighbors) turned into echo chambers once the gym opened up. Top it off with the rhythmic drone of a treadmill accompanied by what sounded like a 600 pound runner wearing lead jackboots and a 200 pound backpack and it’s a recipe for insomnia. The overhang can be annoying to some, but since I spontaneously combust in the sun it didn’t bother me. The only other issue with being on this deck might be if you like to wander around stark naked while in port, because the maintenance staff does constant laps by your window as they pressure wash the ship. The guy controlling the rolling work deck *can* see in your window, confirmed by us waving to him and him waving back. Very conveniently located. Close to the gym for those who get up at 6 am to drop weights in the spa and close to the adult areas for those who fancy a run up to the Cove for beers and the DOTD. I wouldn’t recommend this room to anybody unless they’re either dead, deaf, sleep so soundly that a lumber truck driving through a nitro glycerine factory wouldn’t wake them up or love to get up to work out before the sun comes up. Perhaps these rooms should be changed to a Cat 4ex. The ex appellation would be for “exercising". That way the people in these rooms wouldn’t have to worry about waking guests up, since they’d be the ones throwing bricks at the floor.
I love your descriptions. Sorry for your situation though.
 
"Only 200#" isn't a lot for a deadlifter, so they should have no problem returning it to the floor without dropping.
I guess that's the point. They seem to be (according to phinz's post) unable to return it to the floor without dropping it. I'm thinking there are people using the equipment who really don't know what they're doing.

This was the sound of free weights/dumbbells people were dropping on the deck after doing curls, etc. Apparently the big boom they make on a metal floor means you're that much more macho.
 
We were on deck 9 in the second room from the front of the Dream. It was super quiet with no noise from above and since we were at the end we didn't get anyone running by.
 
Thanks all for sharing your experiences and advice!! I know I can always count on help from fellow DISers. :)

How did others feel about the overhang on the balcony??
 
OK, I'll probably be odd man out here, but we recently did a B2B on the Fantasy. First cruise on deck 10 (10612) and second leg on deck 9 (9098).

The room on deck 10 was located underneath the area that's the entrance to the Arrrcade & Cabanas on the starboard side. While, there were occasional running feet, we didn't experience the scraping chairs in the morning. The only noise "issue" was the Pirate party after the fireworks. We could hear (well, really "feel") the bass in the music, but it only lasted about 1/2 hour.

Now, on deck 9, we were more midship, port side. And had connecting rooms on both sides. That is, to one side there were 3 rooms that connected and on the other side 2 rooms that connected. And the kids in both those rooms took great pleasure in running laps around/through all their connecting rooms/balconies (not to mention jumping off the upper bed to the floor). And there was a large group (I'm hoping it was the same group, and not different ones) above us (on deck 10) who seemed to think the only way to approach their rooms was by running foot races in the passageway above us.

It was definitely much noisier (for us) on deck 9 than 10. But I think (hope?) that this was an aberration. I would think that a room on a deck with staterooms above and below is typically quieter than the one below the pool.
The stateroom we have on hold is 10610 -- sounds like that that might work, then!
 
we never choose the deck immediately below the pool deck as our DD still takes naps and we find the pool noise too much on the top floor rooms. Pirate night is also noisy for her trying to sleep on that top deck.

Good luck
 
So... looks like there is no availability on Deck 9, so IF we opt to move off Deck 10, looks like it would be Deck 8.

Are you sure that all deck 9 staterooms are already taken, or does the DCL website just give you only a selection of deck 10 staterooms to choose from? If it is the later, then try to just select staterooms on deck 9 that fall into your category (just get them from the deckplan, they have one that you can download on the DCL website: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/m...edia/Assets/ShipsActivities/Ships/df-deck.pdf). The DCL website never gives you more than 8 staterooms to choose from, even if many more are available.

Wow - really?! I had NO IDEA. I was just going off of what the website gave me -- thanks for letting me know -- I'll try that!

:thanks:
 
Yeah, what the heck are those bars? I don't see anything like them on the photos of the ship. Also, you're under Cove Cafe, not the bridge.

EDIT: So sorry, that video was from the aft, not forward. I got it wrong. See my next post.

Sorry... I take back everything!!! Your counterpart room would have been 10048, not 10148. That video was from an aft room and you're forward. I'm still looking....
