Wilsons0605 Posted December 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) We are booked on a cruise to Bermuda leaving on 5/31/19. We are currently set to be in cabin 10167. Has anyone stayed in this particular room before (or 10167 on any of the other NCL Jewel class ships)? It doesn’t share walls with another cabin (which I like because I’m a light sleeper), but it just looks oddly positioned on the deck plan. Thank you!

candydane Posted December 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Google “ncl cabin 10167”. There were several hits. Also try individually googling each of the Jewel Class ships with that cabib number. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetnspicy Posted December 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I am staying in 10662 on the Gem in January. I was wondering about the room you posted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagie Posted December 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Interesting cabin layout - nothing below it and only cabins above it - looks like some sort of storage area around it as well as below it. We have been on deck 10 aft on the Pearl and really don't remember much about the cabins next to us. We will be in the corner suite on deck 10 in a year - going through the Panama Canal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted December 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Narrow "white space" forward of the cabin 10167 (a standard rectangular inside cabin) could be a ventilation chamber from the engine room - BUT - looking at pictures of the ship this would not be so - suspect as bonvoyage (HI from DAWN 2016 trip) has noted perhaps cabin steward storage service space or other maintenance electrical vaults etc. Certainly not any SPA or Galley areas - stairs and elevators on the deck plan are much further forward from this cabin location. Sometimes in these "white spaces" are crew stairways and elevators not marked on the deck diagrams. With the cushion of space all around this cabin 10167 one should have no noise issues or foot traffic. Only issue that comes to mind is using the azipod thrusters moving the ship into and away from the pier - some degree of shake rattle and roll in the aft end of the GEM.

Cardex Posted December 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I was just on the Gem in cabin 10168 which is across the hall. This area is really quiet. The space to the left of 10167 has a door and it is storage for the art auctions. The only time I saw it used was when they were bring art in and out. The service carts are stored near cabins 10662/10162. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any leanings one way or another on the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any leanings one way or another on the room? I loved the room. The area is very quiet and the views were amazing! The room is a little smaller but the balcony more than made up for it. There were 2 chairs, a small table and 2 lounge chairs on the balcony. The only issues we had were some black soot spots and some trash (mainly empty sugar packets) on the balcony some mornings. I would definitely book this cabin again! Here are some photos of the cabin. Edited January 3, 2019 by Cardex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseGal999 Posted January 4, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) The best entertainer on the Gem will be performing on this cruise. Justin Golan, Piano Bar Entertainer and Music Director, is back onboard the NCL Gem. Following his very successful shows in NY December, 2018 ... he has added 2 more shows in February and March 2019. You can enjoy and participate in his shows before your cruise ... see details below. Get tickets for one or both of the shows ... you won't be disappointed! https://www.theduplex.com/site/calendar Edited January 4, 2019 by CruiseGal999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlcs Posted March 8, 2019 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2019 We just got off the Gem this morning and started out in cabin 10167. The location is excellent and very quiet. The 3 days we were in that cabin, we never heard or saw our neighbors.. however, starting at 5:45 am, we were woken up with horrible banging on the walls and lots of noise in that “empty” space next to that cabin. We found out on day 3 that it is the storage room for the art auction. Workers came in several times a day to change out the art paintings. We asked our cabin steward (Vincent, who was fabulous, btw) about the noise and he told us to go the service desk to see if the workers could try and be a little quiet, at least in the morning. We know they have a job to do, but they should never put a cabin in that space. It’s like it’s put in the middle of a warehouse. Anyway, we went back to our cabin after we went down and spoke with someone. We got a call about 20 min later from the service desk saying they had another cabin available on the same floor and they would show us and let us move there if wanted to. They also said they would help move us. We took the new cabin and bugged out that night. (We got cabin 10069) It was still a little noisy at times, but way better than cabin 10167. The next day, we found a bottle of wine and a tray of chocolates in our room from the service desk for our troubles with the other cabin! It was a great cabin and location, except for the noise next to it. I’m sorry to report how noisy this room is. If you have any other questions, I’ll be happy to answer them! Have a great cruise!

Thanks so much for the information...😭. I’m glad that the area around the room was nice and that it’s in a good location but I’m worried about the noise from the art storage area at all times of the day/night. I’m thinking I will call and see if we can switch to another room as several people on various reviews of this room have now mentioned noise from that art storage area. Bummer! Thank you again for the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
