Main Deck - Back of ship - Engine Noise?

[Gma&Gpa]

We're booked on the Dream for the very back of the ship - Main Deck. Is the noise from the engines going to be too much??

The engines are actually under the funnel.

Thanks... I had no idea that was the case. Then I guess the back end won't be a problem.

It sounds like Niagara back there with all the water gushing.

Back of Main deck we had a noticable vibration. I think it was the side thrusters or whatever it is that makes the ship go sideways. You will feel a obvious vibration, it just isnt from the engine.

Depends upon the kind of ship, the age of the ship, the location of the room etc. but I'd like to believe that the cruise-line would be upfront of a significant issue like engine noise.

It is caused by prop cavitation. Both the main props and the side thrusters can cause it.
