BigAft Posted May 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2004 We have booked E728 on the Golden for Sept. @nd trip on her so we know the ship, but what can you tell me about E728. Any noise from below? Thanks, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiLuvr Posted May 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yes, there is noise of two main varieties: 1) Docking noise from the thrusters (or something). When the ship is coming around to "park" in its port space, we get this loud grinding-type noise. If it's 6 a.m. and you're wanting to sleep in, that can be a pain in the behind but, as I just posted in another thread, we had early wake-up calls due to early excursions almost every day, so it really wasn't a major problem for me/us except on the final day when they started "parking" around 4:45 a.m. ARGH! (yawn) 2) Noise from the Vista Lounge below us on Promenade Deck. I have heard "sound" coming from the Vista Lounge many times on two different cruises in E728. However, I have never found the noise so obtrusive that I couldn't sleep. I seem to recall that my companions in E729 said it was different (noise more obtrusive) over on that side. None of the noise I heard would stop me from booking E728 again. After all, there is all kinds of noise in all kinds of places, NOT just the aft. For example, when I sailed in a Dolphin mini-suite in 2002, my cabinmate and I were awakened by a horrifyingly loud screeching sound which scared the BEJESUS out of us (we thought the ship had run aground!). That turned out to be the sound of a lifeboat (which was stored just under our cabin) being lowered down on a wench to the water to be used as a tender! So ya just never know what you're going to deal with! I would MUCH rather deal with the "parking" noise in E728 than the horrible noise we had amidships on Dolphin, but that's me.
