cabin number 7015-Black Watch

[the english lady]

Hi we are booked in a junior suite on Black Watch. We booked a cabin then changed our mind about the position, and changed it (cost us to do that):o Now I know I am being silly but this time I picked one that I now realise has a lift right next to it !!!!..Can anyone confirm whether you hear any noise from the lifts..the actual cabin looks a lot bigger on the deck plan, I hope it's not to compensate for noise from the lifts.:(

[the english lady]

well lots of people are looking at it, but no replies, i guess the same question would apply to cabins in similar places on the other decks ie 7014-8800-8801-9901-9902. alternativly has anyone stayed in a cabin next to a lift on a ship, any ship.

I have travelled on all fred. Olsen's ships and have, on occasions had cabin close to lifts. I had no problem with noise from the lifts themselves but, on rare occasions, could heat people chattingas they left the lifts. i don't think you will have a problem. I have sailed in cabin 7001 and found it ideal.:)

[the english lady]

thank you Parsman. I am hoping the wardrobes might be against the wall where the lift is...anyway we are not going to pay to change again so we will see...I know it was rather a long shot posting as so few Fred people seem to post anywhere.

We were in 9901 [as a family of 4] with our daughters in the small cabin backing onto the lifts. We had no problem whatsoever with noise from the lifts [and I am pretty fussy] so do not worry. Just have a super time on a lovely ship. Vicki.

[the english lady]

cruise music than you very much for your reply.

Vicki . we have now moved again!!! and are in 9902. from what I have managed to find out 9901 and 9902 are huge. Are they normal cabin size with a bedroom off?. That seems to be along the side of the lift. Any noise from above? Really really looking forward to this holiday now.

I never even thought about the lifts or anything when i booked cabin 4059. My only thought was that i didn't want to be at the back of the ship, but also didn't want to be at the pointed end. I could probably sleep through anything anyway.

Do let us know how you get on, english lady. We are booked into the same cabin after an upgrade - for the Greenland cruise in August. We have been near lifts before, and not been bothered by any noise.

I most certainly will try and post a review, but if that seems like too much hard work, I will post a little thing on here, to say what we thought of the cabin. Once on a Thomson's ship we were just along from the bar at the top front of the ship,and right by the top of the stairs ,and we never heard anyone. It was a large cabin as well.

[the english lady]

just realised Romola 10 you must be getting on, as we are getting off. If we enjoy it too much you may just find someone hiding in the wardrobe!!!!

[romola10]

sounds as if the cabin would be big enough for us all, english lady : )
