Shiba Posted October 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm considering booking a JS for an upcoming MOS cruise (4 nighter) - I've read that it can get noisy due to the pool deck and Windjammer above on Deck 11. Any tips on which JS is the best? I know there'll be some noise - which is no problem. I always travel with my trusty earplugs!! Thanks!

c0reyann Posted October 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2007 We had room 1586 and it was VERY quiet. I think the best bet would be to stay aft, there isn't as much above you. We'd hear thumps every now and again but not like what I heard just walking the hall going towards the bow. WHOA. I'd also reccomend staying on the starboard side, best views going in and out of the ports!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 16, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2007 None of the rooms are noisy--the pool and Windjammer floor is NOT the ceiling of your room! Shhhhh! Quiet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted October 19, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2007 All of my previous cruises have been below the pool deck, and sorry, but you do hear what is above you. Same thing on Majesty's sister ship, Monarch. Best bet is to stay farther back from the Windjammer, as there can be a lot of noise setting up for breakfast...

Annefran Posted October 19, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2007 We are booked on Majesty in Dec 07 in a JS (1552). I had heard it was noiser under the Windjammer area vs. the pool area. I thought being under the pool area might be quieter also with respect to the times, no one is around the pool at 6am but they are getting ready for breakfast around that time in the Windjammer. So IMO, I thought it would be better under the pool area. (We are actually under the pool area but close to the elevators.) I hope I made a good choice, either way we are cruising and that is the best part! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted October 19, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Our noisiest JS was far aft on Majesty. It was because of the stairs to the pool deck. This is only a problem if you like to take an afternoon nap - you won't get one. Kids go up and down the stairs and then "bam bam bam" go the feet as the run back and forth to the pool. Thankfully noise wasn't an issue at all at night or in the very early morning in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted October 19, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi- We were in 1040 on Majesty a few years ago and heard NOTHING from above, it is far enough back in the Windjammer that the carpeted area is above you. It was a great location. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually take an afternoon nap. As long as it's quiet at night and early morning, I'm good to go. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was those aft stairs that led up to a walkway on the pool deck. The walkway was far from the pool which is why kids were compelled to run hard and fast - they wanted to get there.
