Creaking rooms on the Glory!

[dvdgunner]

Has anyone else have there room creak so bad that they cant sleep!!!!

Are room 6463 on the 2/16/08 sailing was like that. Also are neighbors said the same thing. The seas were rough but what a hunk of junk. I hope the hull doesnt creak also!!!!

i was in 7348 and slept like a baby.

 

first half of the cruise was very smooth, but then got rough the second half.

 

still no creaking sounds.

[dvdgunner]

were you on the same cruise? it was rough in the first half after Nassau. also maybe it was because we were on the back of the ship. I have heard that it is roughest back there. I guess in the future dont book there! Besides the creaking room the ship was very nice.

Bring along some foam ear plugs.;)

[cruise_pirate]

Whew! I have 6473 I am pretty sure it will not be a hunk of junk!;)

[dvdgunner]

I guess thats the answer!!!!!!!!! Spend $3000 for a weeks stay but bring earplugs!!!!! I guess being on NCL RCCL & Disney and never needing earplugs on the previous 8 cruises we went on. I guess im just trying to warn people.

[dvdgunner]

Make sure to bring earplugs!!!!!!!!

Whew! I have 6473 I am pretty sure it will not be a hunk of junk!;)

You are on a ship, made of metal that is almost 1,000 feet long on the ocean with waves making it rock. Yeah...it's gonna creak a little!

[dvdgunner]

Creak a little would be fine. When it sounds like rats are running back and forth all nite in the ceiling maybe not fine. I mean come on this isnt a US navy destroyer were talking about.

I've been in some creaking rooms before. It bothered me a little. I'm a light sleeper with very good hearing. It didn't bother my husband a bit. He always uses ear plugs... not for creaking rooms, but for the dreaded slamming doors and loud conversations in the hall. By the way, do you mean you spent $3000.00 per person for a 7 day cruise?:eek:

[Cigar Dude]

I was on Glory last year, and will be again this September! I don't remember any "creaking", but I do remember having a fantastic time!

[dvdgunner]

no 4 people.

Well I may bring them, but What should I expect for less than 1200.total for the week with a double balcony! I am sure I will have more fun than being at work!;)

[tcs1366]

were you on the same cruise?

 

NO - i was a week later

2-23-08 thru 3-1-08

 

and i was more in the middle of the ship

 

i have motion issues, so DH made sure we were 'middle-ish'

[dvdgunner]

Just want to make it clear we did enjoy the ship it was beautiful, sevice great etc. etc. I was just wondering if anyone else heard this. maybe it was just a bad cabin or maybe rats were running around up ther. LOL

[cruise_pirate]

Never know could have been bildge rats! We had a stowaway cricket on our Legend cruise last fall and he chirped every night. The first few nights I thought it was the AC squeaking then found a fat cricket on the balcony. By then I figured he was having the time of his life and let him continue to chirp!:)

[Cigar Dude]

I found that heavy drinking cures weird noises on cruise ships. :D ;)

[we2cruze]

no 4 people.

 

Somehow that makes me feel better.:o

[dvdgunner]

Now that is really funny!!!!!! I guess quit your complaining it could have been worse!! hope you killed the cricket i know i would have!

[serene56]

Creaking?

 

I have stayed on the aft of most of my cruises and never heard creaking. We did have some shuddering/vibration due to rough waters on our first Liberty cruise. (that weather was crazy and cold too)

 

The aft is not for everyone. Especially those who are prone to motionsicknesses.

 

This is the first time I ever heard of a creaking sound.

Actually NO we did not kill it I figured how many crickets have gone from Tampa to the Caymans,Cozumel,Belize,Honduras and back to tampa? He must have found bugs or something to eat he was pretty fat and happy.:p

We have experience this type of noise on a HAL ship, but it was coming from the overhead bunk that was stowed away. If I pushed on the ceiling where the bunk folded into, the noise went away. I steer clear of any room that sleeps 4 now. :D

[bstman]

We had the creaking on our Conquest cruise. This is the only cruise so far that I have heard that. And yes, it was fairly loud and annoying!! But as the previous poster said, we had bunks in the ceiling and fianlly figured out the noise was coming from them. We tried pulling them down and putting back up but it did no good-we had creaking all week!!

[Ms Belvedere]

I must be the only one who likes the noises the ship makes when sailing through the seas late at night. It makes me think about the many sailors through the years and the sounds they must have heard on the wooden ships back in those days. Of course, some of the noise WOULD have been rats running around. :p

 

cruise_pirate, thanks for not killing the cricket. ;)
