Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8A

With the ship just having been refurbished, we thought everything would be new. Obviously all the staterooms have not been refurbished, because much of what was in our cabin and on the balcony was not new; however, after to talking to a few people in the newly added cabins, we were glad that we had not booked one of those--two of the three we talked to had air conditioning issues. The cabin and balcony, physically were fine. The issue we had was noise. The walls and door are paper thin. I could hear the people next door opening and closing drawers. What was worse was the noise from the Lido Marketplace above. Every morning, between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. we'd be awakened to the sounds of metal scraping across the ceiling. The next to last morning, we heard hammering and drilling at the same time of morning. I would definitely suggest NOT getting a cabin under the Lido Marketplace, unless you are an early riser! I complained to Guest Services about this (& felt like I was taking a test--they asked me about what time it happened each day and what the noise sounded like). Bottom line, nothing was done about it.
