Has anyone had a room above the piano bar.

I thought we had a great location on Horizon in August, but just noticed our 3 cabins on deck 6 are over the piano bar. Has anyone had a cabin here and if so, is noise an issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

I had a guarantee assigned over the piano bar on the Sunshine. It was never really an issue for us, but we are usually out and/or up until midnight - 1:00am or so.

We never have had a cabin above the piano bar, but honestly if I liked the cabin and the deck I wouldn’t let that be a deal breaker.

You might hear some muffled sounds through the floor, but it’s not the same as having a few hundred folks directly below you. At any given time it’s usually 30 to 50 max.

Never a problem to be above the piano bar on 3 Spirit Class ships.

Thank you all so much. I feel better. I do like the location so I think I will stick with it.

Piano Bar can get hopping until the wee hours.    Really depends on the player.  Some are better then others.   IF you are on a sailing with a good player-- and gets everyone involved that will be loud with people singing etc

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't book a cabin above or below any bar / night club / casino, ect... Then again, I don't really stay out very late, but I would still hate to have to deal with noise on my long awaited for vacation.

I agree there is some risk. The first hand experience from someone above does help. Thank you all for your thoughts. If anyone has stayed in a room above the piano bar, I would love to hear your experience.

Many years ago, a young man named Billy Joel had a small room over the piano bar...

Sounds like an awesome location. Drop a request down the floor vent. Sweet Caroline is a great one! 😊

We had a cabin above the Golden Bar on MSC Divina.  It wasn’t annoying, but sort of a game figuring out from the bass what the song was.  EM

We had a cabin with an AC failure years ago and the only free room was a balcony above, but the purser warned us that noise was an issue.  We napped during the day, and at night my little kids learned SWEET CAROLINE....:-)

No, not necessarily. I imagine if a cabin was situated directly above or below the piano itself there may be some sound heard. The piano wasn't underneath us but the tables and banquette seating were and not a peep on three sailings.

you tube patrick duffy    you can see how loud his playing gets the crowd.  Bert Stratton is a highly sought after piano player too   But he is on Princess now     Carnival does have some low key players.
