We were on the Prima this summer and loved it. The food was the best of any ship we have been on. We have gotten on other ships the guaranteed room, and they are usually odd in some way. This is not just an ncl thing but on all lines.

Sleeping with ear plugs makes a difference.

I see you took the guarantee cabin option. Never do this as all cruise lines use this out people in cabins with known problems. I’ll bet they knew your cabin was a noisy one.

I sailed on a brand new Celebrity ship this past March and the creaking in the cabin drove me nuts. The ship has a certain amount of flex to it, and it can be very annoying. It was in a very specific place in the cabin.

I've had a similar experience in ships that creak in bad weather. Not much can be done, I'm sure the ships are built this way. Too bad you let it ruin your trip.
