Q4 deck 5 v deck 8 Queen Victoria

[cruzadict]

We are about to book QV for Xmas 2024 in an aft Queens Grill.  Can anyone tell me which deck would they prefer between deck 5 and deck 8.  Many thanks.  Such lovely decisions

[cruzadict]

Oh and corner suite or middle suite.

We were on deck 4 aft in Q5 corner suite and the noise and vibration and would never book a suite aft again. We had other issues that ended up with us moving suites half way through the cruise.

Deck 8 middle, would be my reluctant preference. My usual take is that you can over-analyse deck positioning and "is this above x or below y?" and the chances are it's only a small difference: the staterooms and suites are all good really. However if it's right at aft, as the QG suites are, then you need to be aware of the noise and churn of water directly below you, so further away is best. It probably makes a difference if most of the cruise is gently ambling between closeby ports as opposed to going full pelt over the North Sea for 24 hours.

Had QG on Deck 8 stern at least a dozen times. Never had a problem. Never heard "churn of water".

 

You do hear the stewards put out the loungers around 7:00am, but as we're early risers, it doesn't bother us.

Had 6 and seven aft and like you, never heard a churn.

 

Vibrations were def. felt in July when head hit pillow when in very lively seas  [but not in May in benign seas] but not enough to keep us awake.
