Carnival Liberty - Cruise From Hell
 

The cabin deck just below the pool deck is normally the highest and the
highest price as well.

Don't book this deck if you are bothered by noise of running or
furniture moving above.

Normally inside cabins in the low decks are the cheapest and quietest on
the ship, you won't have the sun wake you up.

$80 was a very nice refund, use it to start building your own ship!

Depends on how close to the propellers or the engine the cabin is. You
have to look at the deck plans of every ship before you book. At least
I do.

We were on a ship and had checked the plans. It didn't show that we
were directly across from the laundry room. We are not early to bed
people but it was very annoying to hear people talking very loudly at
3 and 4 in the morning even though there were signs about it. They
eventually closed the laundry room late at night.

Sail with Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. They don't have laundry rooms
for passengers. :-)

The best choice for figuring out if a cabin is good or bad is to look on
Cruise Critic. There are many discussions there about the different
ships and which cabins are to be avoided (or preferred). I had a problem
with our cabin on Celebrity Galaxy several years ago. It turns out that
there was something underneath my cabin (maybe food storage) and you
would hear doors sliding open and closed at odd hours. I had read about
it on CC but there were differing reports on whether it was resolved or
not. It was not. And when I tried to ask about it at the captain's Q&A
session, the CD would not let me ask and told me we could talk about it
offline.

They never did anything about it, but I did get the kitchen tour I had
been asking for (and I was not entitled to it from my status), not sure
if that was related to my complaining.

I hadn't done that unfortunately. I only checked on the website.

Carnival Liberty - Cruise From Hell
 

I browsed Cruise Critic and Cruise Reviews and found only ONE note
concerning the exact cabin I was assigned to. All that was said was
there was some noise from the top deck during events. Nothing was said
about continuous noise from furniture movement. On the Carnival
website, some people have got downright nasty with me, placing the blame
on me for not doing my research. However, all of these so called
experienced cruisers didn't once give me a link to where I could find
the necessary information. I know about the ones above and am a member
of them, but they didn't even mention those. I won't comment on a
subject that requires a link unless I can provide it. I wasn't the
problem on that cruise. Carnival wasn't the problem, the crew wasn't
the problem, and neither were the passengers. The designers are the
problem for not insulating cabins from the Lido deck (mid ships). I
recommended to Carnival that a quick fix would be to install rubber feet
on the tables and chairs. At least that would cut the noise factor to
less than half and not cost a lot to do. I would love to hear from
other cruisers that have had noisy cabins. We should have Cruise Critic
or another site create a listing of cabins on all lines that are not
desirable for one reason or another. Thanks for your gracious response.

Smart A**. Only kidding. In all of the good and smart assed responses
I've received here and on the Carnival website forums, NOBODY
recommended a website to visit in order to check cabin location or
desirability, except for one that listed a site where you can actually
overlay decks. Now THAT would have been of some help, but then maybe
not since I didn't know until we boarded that there were loose furniture
around that part of the deck. Even then I didn't think my cabin would
vibrate from the noise.

I challenge anyone to book Cabin 8319 or any one around it on either
side of the ship and report back that they didn't hear any deck noise,
noise so bad that it woke you up, unless of course you are a deep
sleeper. I also wasn't the only one complaining. Just the vocal one.

I disagree about whose fault it is. The line paid for the ship and
could have paid for more sound insulation. The builder isn't going to
provide it gratis.

There is an attitude by some experienced in cruises, by no means all,
who have an attitude that everyone should know what they have learned.

Yes I know. It wasn't always like that here. I see some smart assed posters
have shown up, and people were complaining about Charles and others. They
are the ones that gave me straight answers without the snide remarks. If
someone is going to respond to someone that had a bad experience, smart
assed responses only make it more difficult. Few have actually provided
useful links or positive feedback. I also notice that none have sailed the
Liberty.
