skidroe Posted April 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We have a QB vista suite reserved on the Maasdam, the deck plan shows that it is a "connecting cabin". Will we have noise coming from the other cabin, or is the door soundproof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the door itself is soundproof, but the gap between the bottom of the door and the threshold? Like you sometimes get from the alleyway and under your stateroom's front door?

sandy999 Posted April 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Can you switch cabins? I personally dislike connecting cabins and the ones which have overhead bunks to accommodate 4 people because of the reduced cabin space. Also cabins near the funnel due to vibration.

Rare kazu Posted April 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There isn't a lot of noise from the door, but there are times you can hear things. On one occasion the person connecting to us was not well and the nurse was coming to give them meds. Something required being mixed in water and we could hear the clink of the spoon in the glass every time. Weird. I tend to avoid connecting cabins if I can. You usually lose a closet due to the door.

BRWolf Posted April 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We had a connecting cabin on the Veendam and heard nothing from the adjoining cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Eyes Are Sailing Posted April 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I dislike connecting cabins on ships or connecting rooms in hotels. If you ever get a couple of busy newlyweds next door you will know why.;) Same with couples on the verge of a divorce.....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted April 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We have had connecting cabins on various ships and have heard just as much noise from a cabin next door that was NOT connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted April 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We have had connecting cabins on various ships and have heard just as much noise from a cabin next door that was NOT connected. In both situations we have at times - though rarely - heard voices and TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM1984 Posted April 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We had a connecting cabin on our last cruise, and the couple was very loud. We called guest services and the maintence person came and put some "soundproofing" between the two doors, along with duct tape around the frame. It did help a lot.

Sounds like it's a frequent-enough issue that they're prepared for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted April 26, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I had a connecting cabin on the Rotterdam, which has a similar layout as the Maasdam. I heard nothing from the next cabin, and my bed was the one next to the door. There are two doors---one opening from each cabin. It's pretty soundproof. My cabin didn't lose any closet, or floor, space to the connecting door. Had we wanted to use the connecting feature we would have lost some floor storage space at the foot of the bed.

catl331 Posted April 27, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We've had a few connecting cabins and the only time the sound from the other cabin was annoying to us was when there was a high-pitched young boy who was always loud and allowed to stay up quite late at night.
