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.

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.
