zelker Posted June 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) In the Vista Class Neptune Lounges, we don't think we've ever noticed the doors that are at the opposite end from the Concierge Desk (the ones closest to the big table and book shelves) being used during a cruise - we know we've never used them - but before we commit to 40 days in Noordam 7060, whose door looks to be right across from that (hopefully unused) door into the NL, I thought I would check with those of you who may be more observant about those kinds of things and can tell us if we need to be concerned about noise from that door or can confirm that it really does not get used. Thanks! Edited June 14, 2019 by zelker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted June 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I don't recall seeing those doors get much use. We always used the doors at the concierge end. The lounge isn't open 24/7, so there wouldn't be late-night noise. And most people who are there in the morning are quiet, so I wouldn't expect morning hallway noise, either.

twodjs Posted June 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think the only doors with the cabin card entry slots are the ones by the Concierge desk. I think you can exit by the other doors but most people only congragate around the coffee and snacks at the Concierge end, so those other doors are seldom used. We have had a Suite right across from the Concierge entrance and never had a problem with noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted June 14, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Don't overthink this...it is not an issue at either door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted June 14, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Agree with twodjs. The card access is on the door by the concierges. The other door is locked for entry and can only be exited from. It very rarely was though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted June 14, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2019 We were recently on the Eurodam and I used the back door several times (port side as I recall) for entry with a cabin card. However, I would not worry about the noise from this, as I have stayed opposite the main door and never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the Vista class handles it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that there is no card access on the 2nd set of doors. Signature class (E’dam, NA) have access on both. Vista class has access only on the door by the concierge table.

My late DH and I always had suite right across from neptune Lounge and it was Very rare for us to ever hear any hall way noi se coming f rom Neptune Lounge. The once in a while, I would open our door a tiny bit, close it and the noise stopped. i never had to 'make any comment' Edited June 14, 2019 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same holds for "R" cllass ships (Rotterdam, Amstedam, Volendam and Zandam) Those doors opposite desk are not locked when Neptune Lounge is open and operagting.
