Epic connecting rooms-privacy/noise

[jfbbarry]

I'm looking at a M4 cabin on the Epic, unfortunately they all have a connecting room attached.  Can anyone please tell me if you can hear the other people in the next cabin?  How noisy is it?

Thanks

No real noise. But you do give up one of your closets if you have a connecting door.

All connecting rooms are attached, that is what a connecting room is (as opposed to adjoining).  There is neither a noise nor a safety issue.  the connection is two doors back to back, one in each cabin.  each cabin's door lock independently.

My last cruise was in 2019 on the Epic in a studio cabin with a connecting room.  I could hear all kinds of things from the next room, including a ton of coughing and nose blowing.  Guess who was also sick after a couple of days? Yep.  Never again.

 

Maybe (hopefully) it isn't so bad in a balcony?

Same experience in an Epic studio.

We have had connecting balcony cabins with our kids.  They were very quiet, yet we could hear a sneeze or cough, or even an argument at times.  We have a rule - never get connecting rooms on a cruise or hotel if it is not family connected to us.
