One ANNOYING PROBLEM ON THE MUSE

[rojaan19]

We are currently  on deck 9 on the Silver Muse.  The TV  is now in the big  mirror over the desk.

We can hear the TV  from the suite next door when their TV is on !!  NOT HAPPY !!   We had dinner with hotel director the other night,   SS is aware of the "problem"  BUT I am glad I brought  ear plugs with me  !

Obviously  nobody thought  of sound insulation  during installation  !!! 🙄

That would drive me nuts, especially after  I had gone to bed at night.  I think you had already asked your butler to have a word with them?  Do you think the noise comes through  even when TVs are on fairly quietly?  It sounds as if it is a known problem.

How interesting rojaan19 that The Hotel Director indicates that ' They are aware of the problem'. This ' Problem ' has been apparent since the Ship was launched but nothing has been done. From our experience it does not relate to your Neighbours having their TV on a loud volume just as you say minimal Insulation.( We tested the Volume Issue with Friends residing in the next Suite and we/they could hear at low Volume ). Also moderate level Talking/Coughing etc is easily heard.

Yes it is a known problem. It is down to be fixed when the Muse goes into dry dock. but looking at it's future voyages it is grayed out for November/December 2025. The whole TV system is to be replaced we have been told.

To me that is too long a time. We are hoping they get off in Hong kong and the next occupants don't watch the TV very much.

SS should supply earplugs for everyone - I have never thought to take any on  a cruise, and I am sure I am not the only one.

Oceania New Vista having similar issues with insulation between cabins. Wonder if same shipyard/architect? Valu engineering by cruise company?

Was this resolved for the Dawn build?

Which is probably why the system was changed when Silver Dawn was built. I much prefer the wall mounted screens to the glass walls.  In fact, every guest I spoke to on Muse didn’t like them.

Sadly on the Dawn recently we could hear next door’s television.   Fortunately they used it very little, and I think it was a case of them having it on too loud.  We could not hear anything else from either side of us,

Do you know if the Muse has this problem in all the suites?  I am booked on her in November 2024.

 

Thanks, Missy

It is certainly a possibility in the Vista and Veranda suites but fortunately most people don’t take a Silversea cruise to w

a TV or movies all day. We did sail in a silver suite on the Muse and didn’t have the problem though it was at the start of 2019.

I could just hear the murmur of next door’s television in my verandah suite last month. However, as @drron29 stated, people don’t usually spend the day inside watching TV.  My neighbour was in isolation for five days, but I still rarely heard the television.  Perhaps some guests just have the volume turned up too high?

This is why I take this 5 pack with me 😮

It took a moment, but once I realised they were ear plugs...

Same here.  At first I was like, rojann! 😳

[drron29]

The people from next door have disembarked. A full ship for the next segment so hopefully the new occupants won’t watch TV.

What on earth did you think they were ?? !!

[lincslady]

It took me a couple of minutes, having led a sheltered life.

I didn’t notice any undue noise from our Muse voyage a few months ago, but maybe we had considerate neighbours or that final glass of wine before bedtime was a great sedative eliminating this problem! 🤪

[drron29]

Well our new neighbours haven't turned on the TV .............yet.
