What's above my cabin?

[kdvolfan]

I am booked on the Diamond in room 323 on the Plaza deck. Based on information I read on these boards (thanks everyone), I wanted to look and see what was directly above my cabin to see if I was going to have a problem with noise. When I look at the deck plan for the Fiesta deck right above me, there is a blank section there. Does anyone know what is really there? thanks.

I am pretty sure that the blank space is the Explorer's lounge. The Explorer's Lounge is actually on the Promenade deck, but you go down some steps to get into it. That way there is a higher ceiling for this public room. This results in the Explorers lounge occupying two floors.

I am going by memory, so someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If it is the Explorers Lounge, there might be some noise, but only someone who has stayed in one of those rooms would know for sure.

It looks like he is below the Casino.... only a problem if he can hear slot machine noise or happy winners....:D

I'm booked on the Plaza deck in 331 on the Grand and it's right under the casino. Kinda freaked me out till I read on here that they are VERY quiet rooms and you can't hear the casino at all.

I was incorrect about the Explorer's lounge. I looked into it a little more. I have some deck plans on file and I printed them out and looked at them. It is confusing, because they are at different scales. But I now agree with the above posters that it looks like it is under the casino.

I, too, was concerned about booking a room that I later realized was just above the Explorers lounge. ("How bad can it be?" I thought. I mean, "the band can't play ALL night long, can they?") The fact was, our cabins (two "side-by-side" were very quiet from all sides ('cept the occasional noise from our daughters' quarrels coming from the next door cabin.) I would have never known there was a lounge just below us. It was very quiet.

I think you should be fine. You are below the Casino. We were in P328 (opposite side and 2 cabins forward) on the Sapphire (sister ship) on my first cruise and LOVED that cabin. NEVER heard the Casino once. OK, one time we heard a vacuum cleaner. lol. Very quit and great location. So close to the atrium, but you would never know it while in your cabin. Steps away from the theater. Elevator ride to the gym and foreward viewing area of the ship. Only thing far away is the buffet, which wasn't an issue for me as I eat in the dining rooms whenever possible. I have never been able to get a cabin in this area since, but would jump at it.

Thanks everyone. I feel much better.
