TwoTexans Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 What are the gray areas of the ship map? I'm thinking of booking the room next to the gray, but I don't want to share a wall with a mechanical room or some other active area that will be heard in the room. This is Allure.

BowTieBrigade Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think your instinct about this being mechanical/maintenance is probably correct. Following to see if someone knows for certain. TwoTexans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyNestTravels Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 There are interior stairwells & "cargo" elevators for the crew. I believe those gray areas could be those spots. TwoTexans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Most likely the Cabin Staff storage and elevators. Probably where they store and prep their carts. TwoTexans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Not sure, but could they also be some of the smokestacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I believe their could be any/all of what has been brought up here. In any case, I'd avoid them just in case they are mechanical or elevators for the crew. The crew works all hours of the day/night. JMHO P.S. I wouldn't chose a cabin below a deck that has any type of chairs above it, a dance floor above it, or a galley/kitchen/snack bar above it.

AshleyDillo Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 That's the area behind the living wall in Central Park. There are some crew areas back there. The rooms ending in 229 and 629 have larger balconies. I have stayed in one of these before and would not hesitate to stay in one again. I did hear sound from that gray area in the mornings, but I was awake already. KristiZ, TwoTexans and cdixon22 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely wasn't that early since I'm never up that early. But in the mornings was the only time I really heard it. I'm not a light sleeper whatsoever so it could have been going all morning long and I wouldn't have known. I can't easily check but if the gray area goes down the entire ship in the same area it could be crew elevator and stairs which would explain the noise being room service carts in the morning.

Traveling Mike Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I booked a cabin with a grey area next to it and found out it was the working area for staff. When the ship started rolling in the middle of the Atlantic things started sliding across the floor and hitting the walls. It was not a good night's sleep. Sence then I do not book with grey areas unless I know for sure what they are. TwoTexans and EmptyNestTravels 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveTheSharks Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Awww crap. My sailing in November is exactly in one of those rooms (on that deck too!) that is next to that 'grey area'! EmptyNestTravels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristyD Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Any one else know for sure about the greyed area? I took a photo of the door across from one my client's stateroom. Any suggestion would be great. I didn't see staff to ask when I was on the Allure. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
