SewerUrchin43 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I was contemplating a future cruise and thinking about upgrading our usual balcony room to a Jr. Suite, but all that is available is on the 10th deck below the pool deck on the Independence of the Seas. Just wondering if anyone in the blog has stayed in these rooms and how much sound filters down. They are rooms available in the Aft and Mid of the ship if that helps. as always, Thank you for reading/responding to my inquiry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 The main noise issue being below the pool deck is from the crew dragging and arranging the chairs very early in the morning. How bad this noise will be will depend on how heavy you sleep and how sensitive to noise you are. For me personally, this is a no-go when booking a cabin. For others, they will say it’s no big deal.

WAYNO Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 . We have been directly below an active deck. Chairs being dragged around and running are the biggest culprits to me. Initially it's bothersome. In short order, my little brain just tunes it out, not much different than folks living by railroad tracks (including me at one time) tune out the train racket. Everybody has different tolerances of such inconveniences, and only you can know if you can live with this racket. SewerUrchin43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewerUrchin43 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I didn’t even think about rearranging the chairs and the noise that would make. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanoknick Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Last year we had a deck 10 Jr Suite on Liberty, which I believe is the same layout is Independence. We noticed noise a couple of times, but nothing that bothered us or kept us from sleeping. Would gladly book a JS on that deck again.
