Review summary

I will leave you with this. They amount of noise in this ship had me wanting to go home after the first day. Guest services tried their best to help us and moved us to another cabin. But upon checking in the cabin attendant told us, we should not move to this new cabin. Because the people who were in it before us vacated it because the neighbors were playing their speaker etc and were very loud. Overall the potential for a great cruise was greatly diminished because when it came to insulating the cabin's. The architects/engineers missed the boat. Especially this one.

Ship Quality

Elevator doors closed within seconds after opening when you try to enter the elevator. Many people commented about this.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Bathroom way too small. Shower was tiny and felt closed in, I am not an overweight person.

Ship tip

I booked this ship thinking that it would have the latest technology, meaning it would have the latest sound insulation tech. The noise from the deck above us and both sides was really bad. The ship is beautiful and they spent plenty of money in the common areas. But it’s not going to help you relax and have a restful night sleep. I will not, nor would I recommend any to anyone to book a cruise on this ship. People smoking pot and cigarettes on the balconies, which really limited me and my family being able to use the balcony that I paid for.

One of the problems you had with noise is your cabin has a joining room doors with the room next to you. That is always a noisy cabin and you should always avoid that.

Noise is a concern, it is important to view deck plans to choose cabin

Thanks for the review For those as Ligthsleeper or family with baby yes they tend to complaint about noises of other people and that's Understandable I would recommend a deck in the middle section no near elevator and at least 2 deck under o above common public areas

Thank you for your detailed review. My guess is the noise was over the top especially for your 6 month old baby.
