CILCIANRQTS Posted June 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2022 The door is very convenient for that “occasional” afternoon or evening beverage. There is minimal traffic in that corridor, since the more convenient main entrance for everyone not on your corridor is on the other side. Most not on that corridor are not even aware of the door, and it is more trouble than walking through the main corridor. Can’t speak to through the wall noise from the lounge, as we haven’t been in that particular cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi13 Posted June 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It is unlikely you get much, if any, noise from the adjacent lounge. It isn't overly loud, even when live music is provided. You also have a main fire zone insulated bulkhead between the cabin and the lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveljkkk Posted June 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2022 We had friends who stayed in that area and when we visited them it was quiet and there was no traffic. Basically, an unknown (to others) passage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise is from the strong closer that can slam the door shut if one is not expecting it. 🍺 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukefan Posted June 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2022 We have had the second cabin in from the Explorer's Lounge and never heard a thing from the Explorer's Lounge. We did occasionally hear the door slam shut but not very often. I personally wouldn't think twice about rebooking that cabin. The location is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempreMare Posted June 25, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Thank you all!! Odd that searching did not show that thread. Ah - i see why. Since my arm left arm is fully immobilized in a sling, I'm using dictation, or one hand plus Breevy, a text expander I must have searched with the full words penthouse junior suite instead of the acronym. Yep... In any event, as someone extra fire paranoid I'm happy to hear about the extra fire protection on the side of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra99 Posted June 26, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2022 We've been in 7002 on Orion (second up the hall from that door into Explorers) and loved it. Zero issues with noise (except for the occasional door slam). We've booked it again for next year.

doowopbob Posted June 26, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Glad to read the positive replies as we are booked in this cabin this coming Dec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duquephart Posted July 2, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2022 We had 7000 booked on a previous try. Far end of corridor appealed to us (plus "secret" door to explorers). Closer to lifts might be considered. Currently in 8000 and everything just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
