Compumom Posted August 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi all, we are booked on the Regal in January and so excited for our first sailing on Princess! Any information WRT noise on the Marina deck? We've always stayed much lower on all other trips we've taken, sandwiched between floors with cabins, and honestly have never taken notice of the deck just below Lido.

If you are concerned about noise, you want to continue to book on a deck with cabins above and below you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compumom Posted August 27, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If you are concerned about noise, you want to continue to book on a deck with cabins above and below you. We are the beneficiaries of a most generous gift :D (I am still speechless!!!!), and did not book the cabin. In addition, we are part of a good sized group and everyone is situated in the same area. I'm asking so I get an idea of what to expect and how much slumber assistance I should bring ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2014 There have been posts (Pam) about noise from above (HC).Awful, awful, awful. I had M611 beneath the HC and the noise started every single day at 3:30am with bangs, crashes, slams and thuds loud enough to wake me up from a deep sleep. The worst was until 4:30am. From then on, I could hear the sound of the serving/clean-up carts rolling on the uncarpeted walkway. My sister was in M525, an inside, and also heard very loud noise, mostly from people walking and the sound of carts overhead. It was as though there was no insulation or sound-proofing. I would never, ever recommend a cabin that's not beneath other cabins. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compumom Posted August 27, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Awful, awful, awful.

I would never, ever recommend a cabin that's not beneath other cabins. :( I finally figured out what HC stands for! Our cabin is M312, which puts us forward more, under the pool area and towards the elevators. I think I'm going to mention what's above us and what goes on at night, just as an FYI. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth and I don't want to offend anyone! But I am really nervous about this one, mainly because I have trouble sleeping to begin with. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted August 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It really depends on exactly what you are under. If under an area where lounges and chairs are moved around at dawn, there will be some noise from above for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran_cruiser Posted August 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2014 When in doubt, bring earplugs! I regularly sleep with them. Helps to make for consistent "sound level" whether at home, in a noisy hotel room (AC/heater systems, hallway noise, etc), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Timeforvaca Posted August 30, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Having some kind of "white noise" can also help. They have iPhone apps that have it that you can run all night. We sleep with white noise even at home... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiavol Posted September 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 2, 2014 We have stayed right below Horizon Food Court several times on the Ruby and Emerald had never had a problem with noise. We are staying in a similar location on the Regal in January and expect the same success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
