Good morning good people, I am a newbie to this board and a newbie to cruising so please forgive me if I come across as ignorant. My wife and I cruised on Rhapsody of the seas recently and stayed in a Grand Suite directly under the pool deck. We chose mid ship as we were advised this would be best to avoid possible motion sickness. It was our first cruise so we didnt know if we would get seasick or not. Unfortunately most nights we were kept awake by the scraping of tables/chairs across the pool deck by staff cleaning etc. It was very loud. Soon we are going on Voyager of the seas and have picked a suite forward of the ship to hopefully avoid the pool deck noise. We are a bit worried about the up and down movement though. Is it normal for noise from the pool deck to be this loud or maybe it was just on Rhapsody? Not talking about evening noise from music playing or other guests just from 3am noise from staff scraping tables and chairs around the deck? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW, we loved the cruise so much we immediately booked another the noise was the only nitpick we had.
