Beware Splendor 1024!

[anotherlurker]

We just returned from the Splendor Cabin 1024 (Cat SS) Spa Suite. This room is directly below the treadmills in the gym. If you plan on spending time in your room, you will hear the constant thumping of people running on the treadmills. We did complain and the Guest Services Supervisor did her best to try to control the usage in the gym.

 

We are working on a member review for the cruise that will have more details.

 

Just FYI only if you are looking at rooms on the Splendor!

Thanks for the tip...that doesn't sound like a comfortable room that you were in.

Sometimes you have to wonder if these "designers" ever use their head.

Why would they put a Suite in this location?????

 

If your permission, I will add this to the Cabin Selection Tips "do not book" thread....

Wow, great head's up. I wouldn't have even thought to look at the deck plans like that but you can clearly see it treadmills are directly above that room on the deckplans.

...and I also heard that you don't want to be below the 'weights' area in the gym - cuz of everyone dropping their heavy weights - and if your cabin is right below....well you get the picture!

I would not recommend this room until Carnival changes the location of gym equipment above the room.

 

We had originally booked 1040 (Cat 8P) and bit on the upsell for the Suite. I had done my research on cruisedeckplans dot com for room 1040. Since I was at work, I only went with portside (1024) as a preference. 1025 was available.

 

I spoke to my neighbors also as I was bringing everyone into our room to hear the thumping sound and it seemed more loud and focused in our room for some reason. My neighbors did hear some light thumping and I did hear the interior rooms talking about the weights being dropped.

 

Albeit it was a gorgeous room, we had every intention to enjoy our Suite and spend time in our room. This was during Spring Break and I wasn't interested in the general pool area for relaxation.

 

I also want to emphasize that once Carnival did hear the sounds, Senior Guest Services Supervisor Charlene Ellapan did work as best she could to resolve the issue. She did compensate us generously and offered a discount on a future cruise.

I know I am bumping this older thread, but I could not find the information elsewhere: Is this still an issue wiith the Splendor SPA suites?

Never saw bed linens like those, wow!

 

I'd never book a cabin under the gym.

my wife and I were in 1026 which is right accross the hall from this room and we never heard a thing. I guess it's all about where things are placed above or below you
