Mercury-Do you hear kitchen above Continental cabins?

[steviem1]

Just booked the Mercury, the Continental deck below the kitchen, cabin 4110. I am afraid that the noise from the kitchen will keep us awake. Has anyone ever had this cabin, or been in this location on that ship? What was your experience?

Uh oh - we are cabin 4112. Never thought of that. Hope not.

We were on the Century a year ago and on the Continental Deck, cabin 4136. The noise from the kitchen was very noticable all night long. We must have been under a very large dough mixer...We asked to switch cabins, and they moved us to the other end of the ship, same deck. No noise at all from this new cabin.

 

Good Luck!

Never book a cabin under, next to, or over any public areas. You are just asking for trouble. Even when we get a hotel room near the vending or elevators, we ask to be moved. I can't imagine a week or 10 days in a cabin with noise throughout the night. What a miserable vacation that would be.

[steviem1]

I panicked and got our room moved further aft from under the kitchen, even though both my TA and her contact said they had never had a complaint from this ship about any of the rooms below the kitchen. We will see what happens. I checked our brochure and the Century wasn't in it, so I couldn't check the layout.

 

Thanks again,

Stevie

Maybe they didn't have complaints because the pax figured it was the luck of the draw - or they were so tired when they went to bed, they didn't hear anything - or they are heavy sleepers - or they are very tolerant of noise.

 

Not everyone cares about the noise around them, but since you asked whether there would be noise - I am assuming you do care about the noise. The change was a good idea - for your peace of mind. Hopefully, your TA checked the location of the new room to look for sources of noise that would bother you before they recommended the specific cabin.

I am also on the Continental deck on the Century room 4163. Has anyone ever had this room? Will I hear noise above me? Please advise. Thank you

Great now I am getting worried. We are on Penthouse 1073.

We always book cabins that have cabins above and below but were stuck with limited choices with balconies so opted for a balcony over deck level.

 

Any comments?

oh terrific..i was only thinking that it would be noisy during mealtimes..and my cabin didnt apear to be under the main dining area...now unsure what to do

We had a cabin on the Continental deck on the Mercury and it was very noisy. Sounded lke pots and pans were being thrown around all night. Maybe we next to dishwashing area. Never again will we ever book a cabin below, above or adjacent to the galley.

We had cabin 4058 on the Mercury last month and didn't hear any noise. We were on Continental deck on the Galaxy last year and also had no problems. However, my cousin and her husband were 2 doors down and they said the noise was awful.

On Mercury - does anyone have good news about #4112? We booked through "that auction site" and cannot move unless we want an inside.

[sunpsyche]

My brochure shows a big empty space over my cabin # 4115...so I figured it would be ok... the web site shows this same empty space. Is that the kitchen? I'm on the century.

[morriscats]

Same here on Mercury - a big empty space. Got a feeling that IS the kitchen. Hope they don't cook all night.

[sdcruiser]

As mentioned earlier above, we were on the Century, cabin 4136, which is directly below the 'empty space' or galley. Of course, the cruise line won't label it that in the brochure as people would tend not to book any cabins around this area.

 

Our room was quite noisy at night, as the 'giant dough mixer' was contantly churning out bread for meals. The bread was fantastic, however, we asked to be moved to the only other cabin available, which was in the front of the ship, same deck. Much quieter, a huge difference!!!

 

If you're a light sleeper, then I would move to the mid or front of the Continental Deck...

 

Good Luck!

Thanks for the clarification, sd! I've already sent an email to my TA. I just know it would drive me nuts.

We moved two doors down which appears to be under the entrance to the galley. Don't know about the other ships, as this is our first time on Celebrity. I hope that we are far enough away from the cooking area. I suppose that those big empty spaces on all of those ships are the galleys. Our new room is 4120, so if anyone has stayed in that room, I would appreciate a report. Still worried about the noise, although I have been on cruises with people who slam drawers next door or talk loudly in the hallways late at night. Guess you get what you get. Thanks for all of the input.

We're in 4125 on 10/16/04 on Century. I'll let you know what we hear when we get back. We booked through "that auction site" as well so it will probably be difficult to move if there is a problem.

Thanks

We sailed in 4125 on Century and didn't here any specific noises...:) We heard some noises couple of times during our vacation but it wasn't bad nor I think it was from kitchen.

 

By-the-way,...despite being Category 8 room looked nicer and bigger than room next to it (to the Aft) Category 7. It was L shaped.

 

Good luck with your cruise..and say hello to our room.;)

[sunpsyche]

I moved to 4143 which is under the dining room. Figured the noise would be at mealtimes when I wont be sleeping? I'm hoping anyway as this was the only option available. Am looking at an upgrade though.

[steviem1]

Hope that we all get one!

What is "that auction site"? Is it a priceline for cruises?

[rtroeh]

We sailed in 4125 on Century

 

What is the empty space directly foreward of 4125?

[morriscats]

SkySweet,

Are we supposed to say - sky auction! Good price but not so good communication. Gotta know what you are doing - like know the galley is right above you. Oh well. We will love it no matter what.
