Smile New to Princess - Sapphire E728 Noise from Club downstairs?

Hello,
We have a 14 month old son, (who will be 16 months on the trip) and we're booked to take the Sapphire, Mexican Riviera for 7 nights. We like the fact that it is aft, bigger balcony with view and all, however, just noticed that it's just above the club fusion. How noisy would it be during the wee hours? We're considering changing cabins if it's going to be noisy enough to wake our kid up every other hour. Also, does anyone know what time people party till each night in the club? (I have no idea)
And for any of those experienced cruisers who've been on board Sapphire, what deck or particular cabin would you suggest in our situation? We're thinking of bringing a white noise sound machine if that could help, since he'll be taking naps during the day too and we'd like to muffle out the PA's as much as possible.
Any kind of advices for first timer on Princess is appreciated!
Thanks!!

Hello:


We've had this cabin and while you can hear some muffled noise from Club Fusion, I really don't think it would keep your son from sleeping....it's really very light and most of the time we didn't even notice it at all. During the Princess Pop Star (about 10:00) we could hear muffled voices but that's it...no loud music that would keep you awake. After about 11:30 we heard nothing. I personally think it won't be a problem, but if the same cabin on the starboard side is open you may want to take that one and then you won't hear any noise at all (we've been in both cabins). Whatever you decide, have a wonderful cruise.

E728 on the Sapphire is directly above the stage and bandstand, so there MIGHT be some noise. However, it is pretty muffled and doesn't bother most people. Some have reported a little noise, others have said they didn't hear a thing. These are GREAT cabins, i.e., the mini-suites on Emerald deck.

E728 is great! We had it on the Sapphire and never heard a thing from the club below.

We did think about the option of moving to an interior or oceanview and save money to do other things onboard, but wasn't sure if it'd be worth giving up such a nice location. The only reason we'd be serious of moving is if the cabin would be noisy from the downstairs club. But after seeing your replies, we're pretty sure it won't be that bad.

Thanks everyone, I guess we might as well stick with this cabin. We're thinking of bringing a white noise machine with us, so hopefully it would muffle the noise if any comes thru the floor.
