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!

You have to look at the deck plans of every ship before you book. At least I do. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

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. |

They don't have laundry rooms for passengers. :-) -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

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. Bill |

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.

Gadget Gadget 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. -- **U.S. Army Retired - USPS Retired** **Degreed in CS, BS, HBS** **Notary Public, State of Kansas** **Licensed for Conceal and Carry** |

They asked me what they could do to make it right for me. I told them since it really wasn't their fault, just and oversight, they need not compensate me. I'll chalk that one up to being too stupid to research the cabin location, but then who would have known that those tables and chairs moved around the deck, and would make so much noise? I told them about my idea of putting rubber feet on the furniture on the wooden decks and I think they went for it. I already had my experience, I just don't want others to have to suffer the same thing. -- **U.S. Army Retired - USPS Retired** **Degreed in CS, BS, HBS** **Notary Public, State of Kansas** **Licensed for Conceal and Carry** |
