That’s very reassuring, thanks Linda

Thanks Linda. On your six cruises did you ever stay near a crew access door, and if so do you remember where that was?

Thanks uktog, that’s interesting info about the sign and good advice. The second cruise it happened to us, I did mention to reception and they responded well. Having said that, we currently have a wide choice of cabin locations and have never sailed with Viking - so I thought I’d try to remove one potential issue up front!

Thank you for your replies Tayana, we are also careful never to slam our cabin door. On my first 20 cruises I didn’t worry about crew access locations … until we ended up directly opposite a crew door that was left to close hard dozens of times a day (and several times a night) by diverse crew from cleaning to room service to maintenance. Imagine an inconsiderate neighbour slamming their door that frequently and you get the idea! whitbob & SantaFe1, thank you for the very helpful specifics

Hi all, I’m new to these boards and to Viking Ocean, in process of selecting cabin on our first Viking cruise. Having sailed other lines, we have twice had noise issues from crew access doors (to/from service stairs) directly opposite our cabin. These doors are heavily used for obvious reasons and often slam shut behind busy crew. I don’t blame the hard-working individuals but would rather avoid those locations in future. I’ve scanned the boards (and scoured the internet) and found various references to Viking Ocean laundry locations being relatively quiet - but nothing on precise locations of crew access doors. Does anyone out there know? To be more specific, the areas we’re looking at are on decks 5 and 6 … my best guess is to avoid 5020-27, 6012-19 and 5074-81 and 6066-71 … but it would be very helpful if someone could correct that and/or narrow down the ranges. Even better, tell me that the doors don’t slam on Viking so I’m worrying over nothing!! Thanks for your help.
