room with a view Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 A few years ago we cruised on the Brilliance in 8588 - we are now considering the Jewel . I seem to remember this cabin was quiet noisy with music coming up from the decks below. Should we consider moving along the hump - are the balconies smaller ? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Balconies on Radiance class hump staterooms are larger than other side-facing staterooms in the same category. However, I'd move away from the hump to avoid the centrum noise and occasional cigarette smoke coming up the centrum from the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacruise9 Posted July 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi, I cruised aboard the Jewel of the Seas a few years ago in 9580 (a hump cabin). I liked the location and the view from the balcony. However, there was a lot of noise from the Centrum (bands playing, etc.). I think the decision of whether you should choose a stateroom in a different location depends on how much you are bothered by noise. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted July 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Stayed in 8088 once. That's when I learned my lesson. Now we always book 6 or more cabins down from the Centrum on that class of ships. VERY noisy at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Look at the deck plans, while not "to scale", the balcony sizes are pretty representative of size. Not ALL of the 'Hump" balconies have the deeper spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser123! Posted July 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We were in a hump on the Jewel. Floor 9. No noise from the elevator, but even with the big hallway doors closed, the noise from the Centrum was very noticeable. However, the size of the balcony and location made up for it.

How bad is the cigarette smoke coming from the casino? We have had cabins 8088 and 8086 in the past and never had a problem with noise or smoke but our last cruise was over 10 years ago. I picked this cabin for the large balcony. I can handle the noise but not a cabin that smells like smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can handle the noise but not a cabin that smells like smoke. It depends, I guess, on how many smokers are on your cruise and how many of them decide to use the casino as their smoking lounge. It can be quite bad. It shouldn't be, but it is. (oh, not IN your cabin. Outside of your cabin.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room with a view Posted July 28, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thanks, everyone for your advice . I will look for a cabin further along deck 8. Best wishes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
