Review summary

No one goes on a vacation and come back saying what great subwoofers they have. The bass is overwhelming in the lounges. Bass frequencies reverberate through materials and pass directly into the cabins. We can have the same level of entertainment with proper sound mixing. Paying for an extended preferred cabin and having it intentionally disrupted is more than just bad business.

Great view - TERRIBLE acoustics. The entertainment Dept thinks cranking the subwoofers is somehow entertaining - the entire aft deck of cabins sounded like the rivets were coming out of the walls. Our cabin's metal ice container top was literally vibrating. They do this intentionally - they know its a problem and disruptive to guests. Going on a vacation and not being able to sleep/rest by deliberate actions of a ship dept is not good - we will not be back to this cruise line
