- Опубликовано: 17 фев 2024
- We address all the reasons why our cruise cabin was the worst cruise stateroom after our recent onboard experiences from neighboring cruise passengers that made it miserable. Are these cruise passengers dangerous cruise passengers? Should you book a Guaranteed Inside Cruise Cabin or take the advice of cruisers and Never book a guaranteed Cruise stateroom? This is the latest cruise news in tandem across the cruise industry where all cruise lines are making cruise cutbacks for cruise passengers onboard cruise ships during 2024 and we were surprised by what were real cruise cutbacks and which was just bad cruise ship design! What do cruise ships do with passengers upset at other cruise passengers at sea? How do Cruise Ship Crew handle these difficult cruise passengers? Are cruise ship passengers okay with cruise lines with bad inside cruise staterooms in 2024? We talk through our experience onboard the Worlds Biggest Cruise Ship (at the time) Wonder of the Seas including our worst cruise cabin neighbor ever. This affects Royal Caribbean’s Largest Cruise Ship Class, Oasis Class, but will it affect the worlds largest cruise ship Icon of the Seas? What are your thoughts in our inside cruise chat on the biggest concern onboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships 2024?

Note: We did ask for upgrade options once we sailed away, but prior to any knowledge of our neighbors behavior. Unfortunately, the ship was sold out and guest services said there were no rooms available to change to.
Who knows if one would have magically appeared if we would have gone back with valid complaints of our neighbors, but our fear was that we would be stuck in our same room with escalating neighbors due to the sold out ship. Hope this helps answer that question!
Totally understandable!! Seems like all of them are sold out! I'm shocked it was connecting as most of those get sold out fast.
Liars, Liars got your pants on 🔥 😅😂.
So, only you guys noticed their loud TV, bad language, their political talk ???
So, there is no other neighbors on the other side ??? Nobody else on fully book ship 😅😂🤣.
They _"never left the room"_
So, why did they go on cruise for just locking themselves in the inside cabin???!!!
Who knows, it were you, who got annoyed
Liars Liars, got your pants on 🔥 😅😂🤣
If you think that they are lying, why do watch and comment?? Nobody forcing you to do that.
E and
The minute you started describing the scene I knew exactly what you were talking about. I definitely would have spoken with guest services & requested to be moved for safety.
He should also notify the cruise line and call the FBI, give the cabin number and date of the person threatening political violence. They do take it seriously.
I agree with this comment@@rosey312
Me too!
They're in a cult. It's so sad. Everyone knows who you are talking about.
@@scottrobimson1644Both sides are becoming violent cults. No one gets to pretend to be innocent. Law and order plus fair elections are the only cure. Violence should not be tolerated.
The Great Jack Lemon said "class is knowing how to treat people" Enough said. So sorry you experienced this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did they experience this?
It sounds like they were purpously trying to disturb you. These kind of people are sick and scary.
We wondered this too to be honest with you. 😔
Our neighborhood was worse. Their grandson was watching porno flicks with sound on their balcony. We were on a Disney cruise with grandchildren. After complaining about 10 times finally the Captain put an end to this ridiculous behavior.
wow that's horrific
Wow
OMG, just listened to another cruise blogger talking about this same line and the arrest of two crew members for kiddie stuff just a couple of minutes ago! After the very recent case of a different line who had a worker arrested and admitting to abusing passenger children on board, one as young as 6, there is No way that a this should have been ok even on an adults only line! This is a way to make Cruising un family friendly!
You reported the behavior. Sounds like J J cruises did not complain to the proper authorities....or strong enough.
Whatever happened to using headphones???? Guess not.....
I would call security, let them know you felt unsafe and request to be moved. We have had an issue of threatening while on a Royal ship and we let it go but next time we will go to security, we all deserve to feel safe at all times.
We have met you two, your not loud people ❤️
They did nothing so did this actually happen did not record the noise and take it to customer relations. They say they are travel agents any trace agent travelling as a passengers would never have out up with this assuming it happened. There are always two sides to every story.
@@dlgregory35 I totally believe this story! Have you met them? I have as many other cruisers have also. These are two very nice respectful gentlemen and yes they are travel agents
So you personally know them? Do you honestly believe that they would put up with loud noisy disturbing neighbours in the next cabin without complaining? We have their story no other side to the story and I am darned sure I would not put up with what they say they have put up with. Nothing has been given to back up this story and this is the same with many bloggers on here they tell you a story without any backup evidence obviously to get income from people through adverts.
@@dlgregory35 please stop commenting on my post, your comments are not welcome.
@@Mhutch1123 Tjen you are an idiot they have done nothing to back up this story I will apologise if they give some credibility to their story bit at this time they have given no credibility to this report and why not as it is simple to report to a cruise line. easy to report people without any kind of backup to Does this not make you think something may not be correct? Use your brain and stop accepting everything you are told online here as being the truth and nothing but the truth.
Working in HR, I would have been down to guest services with the first incident asking to be placed elsewhere for safety concerns. Not sure where you departed from but I have utilized the Passenger Vessel Act before and ended a cruise early (the cruise departed from LA and I left the ship in PV, Mexico). Please consider this: those people have likely exhibited rude behaviour before. If they had previously cruised with RCL the cruise line might already have a file on them from past reports, needing just one more to take action. If others in your situation took the same approach to wait it out and not inform guest services, then with these individuals, there would be no documentation on file about past incidents and these two would feel empowered to continue with the same type of behaviour on future cruises (if they take another and with the same cruise line). Because you stated they they rarely left the room you could have had guest services discretely send a security agent to your room to be witness to the activity and then they could have taken action, even it it was to find you another inside cabin. There are a lot of other factors that I would not know as I was not there, but connecting door or not, you both deserved to enjoy your cruise without having to walk on eggshells each time you were in your room. There would be no way that I would do seven days with that next to me; I would ask that a bed be made up in a life boat first or I would be invoking that Act again, even though it would be at a cost to me.
Unfortunately RC cruises are sailing fully booked and have nowhere to move you to.
In a sane world that advice is fine and dandy but it’s not a sane world. With the type of relationship that JJ have and those people sounding like people that might be prejudice tricky situation. Especially if the ship was full. Some how I would have reported them though.
If the people he talked about had that bad behavior, the other side neighbors would have known and made complaints, too.
Funny thing is only them experience that.
So, he's lying.
@CL-mp4vn how do you know the neighbors next to them didn't complain? Although if rooms aren't connecting on other side they may not have heard the couple talking so clearly either.
@@CL-mp4vn Please leave this channel.
I'm so sorry that you guys had this experience! As sweet and kind as the two of you are, you are the last people that would deserve this!
Yes I think you should have called Guest Services and I hope you report it to the cruise line, they will probably give you some kind of accommodation on your next cruise.
We had to call Guest Services twice, late at night cuz our neighbors TV was blaring
Both cabins were Suites
I think they should have gone around and talked to them. Said "Look. Obviously, the door is paper thin. We are keeping it down as much as possible out of respect for you, however, we sometimes need to have a quiet space to make phone calls." But once they started being jerks, they don't deserve your respect. I wouldn't go out of your way to be noisy, but don't be bothered about making noise yourselves.
Depending on the nature of the proposed violence, you might consider notifying law enforcement officials, i.e. FBI.
We thought on this as well, but we don’t know their names or personal info. We didn’t even get a good look at them (or want to) given the issues through the wall.
We seriously hope it’s all talk, but know that’s how it always starts. 😔
@@JJCruise All you would need to do is give them your cabin number if you decide to speak to authorities. They could get the info from the cruise lines.
Guest Services????
Why there is evidence that this country could be headed towards another Civil War, it’s one of the biggest reason there are so many gun grabs, pushes for new laws to strip ownership of certain guns away from LAW ABIDING citizens. Look the criminal element is going to get them no matter what. Remember the wording of the 2nd amendment, to protect for both foreign AND DOMESTIC attack.
Just because it's a guarantee cabin, doesn't mean you have to accept it. I've had some, noisy, went to guest services and I was moved immediately.
People are so rude more lately than ever. I believe if you did 9 times out of 10 cruise line would not do anything like next door smoking weed and they did nothing. You could not enjoy your balcony 😢
For sure! Blame cruise lines for focusing on money and not safety and enjoyment of their guests.
So sorry you had that awful experience!☹ You guys are so warm and pleasant, I know you don't deserve that kind of neighbor on cruise ship or anywhere else. Good that you guys said nothing because your neighbors sound combative and you don't need those negatives in your lives, Hope you never have to deal with that sort of behavior in the future💕💕💕
I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I definitely would not want that guy as my neighbor either.
Thanks! We hope to never have this happen again (and since it’s 1/71 cruises, we’ll take our chances 😅)
I'm glad to hear that you both made it safely through the cruise. I would think that they should have/be reported to the cruise line for a couple of reasons. Firstly, It is not Okay to be that disrespectful to others around them. Secondly, If they do this and no one reports the behavior, they are in the mindset of "If I make it known I am violent, I will always get my way". Third and lastly, With the sound of what responses you were getting through the walls, you actually put yourself in the way of harm by not reporting it immediately and being placed in a safer location. Keep doing what you are doing, I love your reports on cruising!
Thanks for sharing. I hope to see you on a cruise some day. 😊
Thank you for making this video! I support you guys 100% and would have reacted the same way if I encountered someone like that!
I think ya'll did what you could to keep it civil. You never know what people are capable of doing. Love you both! Keep up the great work!
I hope your friends had a great time. Glad you got a chance to cruise with them.
Security and guest relations needed to be alerted during these situations day one.
We did a two-week cruise on Seabourne, the people next door were on the phone talking loudly to family members for up to two hours a day. They talked from the balcony to the suite at the same volume. So even on luxury lines it's the same. You get the same people no matter what you pay.
Oh I hear you. This happened to me on my Panama Cruise. My neighbours had major yelling fights both in their room and on the balcony. Alcohol was partly to blame. Why people think that they are so entitled to disturb others is beyond me 😢 my cabin was also a connecting cabin.
We were on Harmony of the seas, the room we booked was a balcony. When I booked it, it was not a connecting room. But when we got to our room it WAS a connecting room. Not marked to the map as one. We had 2 older ladies next door, maybe hard of hearing… we could hear every conversation they had. Luckily they were in bed early. I would never book a connecting room.
I certainly feel sorry you had to endure such conditions.
You do understand and know as travel agents, the risks of booking a guaranteed room; you get the leftovers, the undesirable rooms, or a room that was left after the prior booking was upgraded
First of all congratulations on 51 k on your way too 100k and beyond 🎉Yes you should have said something about this in case something happened ! Most people suck these days it's all about them not the way it used to be! Keep on being the good guys you are that's really all you can do at this point sad to say 😊
You did the absolute best thing the world we live in is crazy and it takes ALOT to be the bigger person good job and sorry for a bad experience
Oh Sweetie...I'm so sorry. Sending love and positivity to you.
No one should have been subjected to that kind of harrassment And I applaud you for your action or lack of. Don't know if I would have been so kind.
So sorry that you had to experience this!
My goodness, that’s terrible. So sorry you experienced this 😞
That’s horrible, I’m so sorry. Thank goodness we’ve never been through that.
we had loud cabin neighbors once and we let them know we could hear every word they say. It didn't change anything so we kindly asked to be moved. They did move us to another cabin because we were nice about it. Enjoyed the rest of our cruise
Oh boy, I have one of those cabins booked on allure spring break week. Gonna be an adventure.
Oh no how awful for you and Jordan! I have a cruise booked on MSC Seascape and did the let them choose my cabin, Bella experience and of course when I looked it up it is a connecting cabin!I like the Deluxe Balcony size, but not the connecting, might have to change that! Thanks for the information so sorry for your experience.
You did a very considerate thing. Although you were on a cruise, you still had a job to do. I'm so sorry that you had to put up with those neighbors. May your next cruise be filled with happy and joyful times
I think you did the right thing based on what you were experiencing. It’s really a hard call. You must have been a storyteller in another life because you always keep things interesting and keep my attention. I admire your patience ❤
😮😳 so sorry you had to deal with this people can be something! We are going on a cruise this coming April we have an aft balcony hope our cruise neighbors are good. So far we’ve had good luck
Connecting doors are a complete nightmare. Wish Cruise ships wouldn't have them. The few families they benefit must be far outweighed by the many who have to put up with feeling you are almost in the same cabin as those next door. The main reason I never choose a guarantee cabin.
Jared, you and Jordan are the sweetest guys on you tube. I find your reviews and tours to be very informative and entertaining. For that very reason, I never book a connecting cabin. I did it once. Lesson learned. The guests in the cabin next door had knock-down loud fights AT NIGHT, and they smoked in the cabin and on the balcony. I called guest services about the smoking, and I think they were moved. You may have made the right call to not get guest services involved, as they seemed to be very vocal politically. Now you have lessons learned. Keep up the great videos and I’ll keep giving you thumbs up. I am one of your many loyal subscribers. Love you guys! 😊
Wow, I’m sorry you had such bad neighbors. I guess things like this are inevitable for frequent cruisers but it sounds like you guys handled it very well. Here’s to better neighbors on your next cruise!
Sorry you guys had that experience. I think you did the right thing in just ignoring them.
Wow!!! That's just nuts!! I remember wife and I were on enchantment of the seas. We had what appeared to be a converted closet(lol) but the neighbors were drinking every since they boarded and were yelling and destroying their cabin. Sounded like and appeared that they would come straight through the wall. Security was afraid to stop it so we had to deal with it until we got to Nassau.
Thanks!
Thank you for the Super Thanks and for watching!! 🤗🥳
I think you did the right thing by being the bigger people and ignoring them. Unless you could change your cabin, it would only make things a lot worse if you called guest services. People like that feed off your reactions
I'm so sorry this happened to you. You're two great guys who are kind, considerate, and sweet. I learned we can never control others, only our reactions to them. Unless you had recorded what happened and was being said, it was your word against theirs, with no proof. That could have made your situation much worse! Going forward, I suggest utilizing your video recording, should something like this happen again. Unless the ship is sold out, maybe guest service can move you to a new cabin. It's worth asking. Cruise ship passengers are a cross-section of society. Some good, some bad, regardless of political, social, economic leanings. When you're on vacation you deserve better than that experience. As always, great content!
So sorry you had such fanatical neighbors! Never have understood that kind of behavior. God bless you guys!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I want to know the good and bad so I can plan accordingly. I will never book a room with a connecting door and try to avoid very busy cruises.
You should have recorded them.
So sorry you had to deal with that! I think you handled this story and yourselves very respectfully. I disagree with the people that say you are pushing a political agenda or a side. Many don’t like it when a mirror is held up to people that feel they can say or do anything. It is YOUR experience and you don’t have to tip toe around how uncomfortable they made you feel. I am right there with you! Love you guys and your channel! Keep up the great work!
Why do I have a feeling their favorite news station starts with an F and ends with an x?
Faux
Ouch - two 6 foot plus guys in an inside cabin sounds cramped just thinking about it.
I have a guarantee inside cabin on this ship next year. I've read that people have taped around the opening of the connecting door. Might not do much but at least it's something. There is tape for this purpose on Amazon. Thank you for sharing the noise issue.
Had same experience on the Wonder in a balcony; screaming kid day and night through adjoining room door. We were cruising during a kids sail free week. No more Wonder of the Seas for us.
Oooh not fun at all! We’ve totally had adjoining doors in the past that haven’t been an issue at all. Wonder what’s with Wonder 🤔
The problem with the room was that it had a connecting door. Whenever we have one, you can hear the other cabin.
I think reporting them may have put you in danger if they found out you had done so.
Unfortunately, there are Axx holes out there. Can you still report them to the cruise line now that you are off the ship?
Stay safe!!
That’s a great question! We never thought of that as an option.
Great idea to report these “people” after the cruise. RCCL should ban them and they should be put on a watch list by the FBI - in case another January 6 type incident occurs.
They were probably at Jan 6. Who knows, the FBI could already be looking for them. @@davidhurwitz2291
@@davidhurwitz2291 They were probably at Jan 6. Who knows, the FBI could already be looking for them.
The last cruise I went on, our neighbor was loud , but entertaining. It was like listening to a soap opera. 😂😂
Hey Jared, I am sorry to hear about your experience. I thought about this situation and I would have asked to change stateroom from day 2. You guys had a bad experience when you were in your stateroom which is not fair to you. It's easy for me to say after the fact. You are too nice to the rude people next door. But make sure to have a good experience as well. It would be an honor to have you as a cruise neighbor. 🙂 Hopefully one day that will happen.
My first thought when you said he had to make a phone call, was to go to the "office" and sit on the "throne" with the door closed for a bit more privacy! 😂 Yeah, I would have certainly lodged a complaint against them and seen if recording them would have been ok. I know some states are one party consent, but not sure about cruise ships and the countries they are registered in and visit. Stinks that you had to put up with that. They are not typical of most people on that side. But at least you know to never make that same cabin mistake again! 😂 Good luck and take care from a new subscriber!
You guys were the bigger respected neighbors and handled it professionally sorry you had to endure it
You had the cabin from hell. So sorry you both had to deal with this. These neighbors sound very dangerous and unbalanced. I would have reported them and I would have complained about safety issues. I don't book guarantee cabins and this scenario is my nightmare. Thank you for your warning and you guys are true gentlemen.
That is a difficult position. Was the cruise ship at full occupancy? If not, I might have asked to move considering the neighbors' behavior. Still, they might be able to identify you (because Guest Services would send someone to talk with them), and there could be an uncomfortable confrontation. I can't figure out why they did not leave the room. That is so odd considering the type of cabin it was and the fact they were on a cruise. I am sorry that happened to you all. It is certainly a cautionary tale about connecting cabins!
You did the right thing. Hardly anything guest services could have done. Some people are not worth getting upset over. Being the bigger person was the correct thing to do..
Oh my gosh! I so wish you would’ve reported this!!!! This person could very well be telling the truth! Please call and report it. They can find out who it is.
We were in a connecting cabin one time and it was horrible. It was a suite next door and all they did was fight! They had 2 kids and I felt bad for them. Everyone was miserable and we heard all about it. It got so bad one day that we reported it and security came to our cabin so they could listen. Then they knocked on their door and they didn’t answer it and security just left! 🙄
For future reference I would document everything. And as soon as you felt unsafe or threatened, report it to Guest Services. They may not be able to do anything, but at least you have it on record should something happen.
Wow, the two of you have had some out there cruise experiences, but I don’t know about this one. After 2020 some people seem so unhinged. It’s hard to say what would keep us safer. Saying again sorry this happened to you.
If people haven't seen the light by now, the crash that's coming WILL make 08-12 look great, the millions of military age Illegal males entering Our Country, flipping off the cameras, telling the reporters, you'll know our names soon enough, or the women and children who have been raped, murdered trying to come to America, seeing police get beat up, knocked out by illegals then the POS get let out within hours with tax paid, bus, air flights to California, etc.................... It is disturbing to say the least, maybe the fools will open their eyes but then they're so brain washed they'll blame T when everything collapses, LMFAO. I tell all my friends and family to turn off Fox News and worst is MSNDC and Cnn. They ARE lying to The People, tune in to Real America's Voice, go on Citizen Free Press, Revolver, Breitbart etc... and WAKE UP QUICK! Stop letting THEIR eyes and ears lie to THEM!
Unless the cruise line can move you, reporting them for playing their TV loud will just escalate it
So sorry you went through this. Seems like those Ne'er-do-well's didn't get the memo that we're supposed to chill on a cruise. Such negativity takes up too much energy.
If you were unhappy with your cabin, and we have been told that cruise was only 2/3 full, could you have asked guest services for a different cabin?
I sailed on a few with the connecting door and won’t do it again!! The noise carries so much between the rooms. I could hear everything!! It was horrible.
I am sorry that this happened to you all as this sounds like a nightmare.. one of the downsides I have heard of about Wonder is the thin walls between some of the room types. Even in a normal situation that would be tough but with these "neighbors" that sounds awful. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing and fun for all involved and this experience detracts from all of it. Happy your friends didn't have to experience something like that as that.
Wow…this really makes me appreciate how lucky we have been with our neighbours on our recent cruises of 16 days and 20 days…mind you our quietest hallways are always on Princess. We just were on Explorer of the Seas, inside promenade connecting stateroom and our neighbours were great. If they were being loud at night while trying to sleep I would inform guest services immediately.
My last 2 cruises had loud neighbors...both in the haven on ncl. KIDS.we ignored
Wow! What a terrible experience!! I think I would inform guest services and asked to be moved to another stateroom. Even though it was only a 7 night cruise that’s still a long time to tolerate these obnoxious neighbours.
Man, I am so sorry this happened to you guys.
If they were that loud, I would have recorded them on my phone AND I would have gone to guest services too. I wonder if their neightbors on their OTHER side would have also been getting an earful too.
Terrible, scary stuff.
Noise canceling headphones, never leave for a vacation without them.
Vacation for me is about zero drama, so I would have done what you both did and stayed out of my stateroom as much as possible and wear my earplugs when I sleep.
It’s so sad that something that should be so enjoyable turned out to be a nightmare.
The last 2 cruises we had guaranteed rooms and we ended up with adjoining rooms. I think it is the cruise lines way to punish you since you paid a reduced price e. We had problems both times with noise.
There was a family of 3 in the cabin next door to us. They apparently had extended family members with them on the cruise because there were a ton of people in their room and balcony all hours of the day and night. To make matters worse, their baby would cry nonstop so no sleeping for us. Of course there were no other cabins for us to move to. We couldn't get off that ship quick enough.
The bathroom is also an alternative for some quiet space.
Wow this is crazy ! They should have stayed home ! They seem miserable! I’m sorry you had that experience.
I would have called GS even if it was just so they could see how they needed to add more sound proofing.
We went on the Celebration last year and had a balcony cabin, but every time I would go out to sit and get some fresh air, there would be the smell of weed. Someone complained because a bank of cabins (including us) got a letter that there was a complaint and so on, but it continued. Almost every day. It made me rethink cruising and getting a balcony.
We’ve had a similar situation except our time, they actually thought it was us and threatened us with a warning (neither of us smoke). We told guest services that neither of us smoke or have any smoking paraphernalia (whether cigarettes, cigars or other) and they were super nice with their apologies saying someone nearby swore it was our cabin.
We are glad they take it seriously initially, but sounds like they never caught the person on our ship either. 😌
We also had that happened & it was a strong smell of weed. 4 days into the cruise we saw our smoking neighbor being escorted off the ship by security when we reached port.
I have noticed lots of smoking on the balcony’s recently. I’m not getting a balcony for awhile. I’m going to get ocean view instead.
I wish our neighbors had been escorted off the ship. We asked to be moved, and were told we’d be kicked off the ship if we complained again. Yeah Carnival. The offenders were over 70.
Yes, had similar experience on MSC last fall. Both sides smoking something! Again poor enforcement by cruise lines focusing on $.
That is always a tough call. If they were legitimately threatening violence you should have contacted guest services on board. The only problem is that would alert these people as to who complained about them and you would not be safe. You should contact the cruise line and let them know exactly what happened and let the cruise line contact the proper authorities.
Had a similar terrible experience many years ago on the Allure of the Seas. Thought we were getting a deal. NOT!! Got a surprise upgrade from an Ocean View to a Balcony. Well it was to a connecting cabin balcony. The girl next door kept complaining on the phone to what sounded like friends, loudly and started slamming her door purposely every time she entered and exited. It got so bad we had to call the front to complain about the door slamming. The front desk did put a stop to it. Will never accept an upgrade before knowing were we are moved and will never book a connecting cabin next to unknown guests.
On one cruise, we were in a connecting cabin. Our neighbors partied all day and all night in that cabin throughout the cruise. I don’t know when they slept. It was awful.
Thank you thank you thank you for NOT making us have to listen to those vulgar words!!! It is appreciated more than you can imagine. Not all content creators do that.
They were speaking privately in their room. Not a crime.
You did everything right. You have good instincts.
Have fun on your next cruise 🙂
We had a similar experience, but not because of cabin thins walls. Our neighbor was alone and elderly. When we were heading to our cabin he was loud and giving the steward a hard time. He said he was in E804 however, there was no such cabin. So, it went on and on with him. I and finally said, even when you have been proven wrong you are still yelling you are bine an A**hole. The week continued and almost nightly he couldn't get in his cabin and would be screaming HELP HELP, obviously being good neighbors a bunch of us came out to see what was happening, especially because that night we had an emergency medivac. We were all on edge and he was elderly. His medallion didn't work because he was trying to get in our cabin. He said I am going to call 911. It was miserable and it woke us up nightly. We too did not report him, but wrote a note on our survey we did at the end of the cruise. We luckily were never in the cabin during the day. I think you guys did the right thing. Good on you for being above that crap, because for sure if you had complained they would have been possibly very dangerous.
There's no reason to have connected rooms like these ones on the ships or hotels. I think we consider our vacations as a valuable and a special event which we plan in advance. We need privacy and a relaxing trip, so with the design and layout like that is very problematic.
My friend had a cabin where , even without an adjoining door, the neighbours were so loud, and would play their tv 24/7. It was so annoying. Even reporting it to security didn't help. They were such a pain and it totally ruined her cruise. Such a shame for 7 days. You should have reported it, not sure if it would have made any difference but report it still.
I would have gone to gs the second day that tv was blasting. I would have given the first day a pass on the chance they would get over their "mood". I would ask someone to come to your room and listen to how loud the sound was from the other room. Those big ships must have a spare empty room somewhere to move people to who are having such issues. We went to Florida once and someone in the next room had their tv blasting all night. They said it was an older woman and she needed the sound to sleep. We said we didn't need to be awake all night. We were on vacation. They moved us. They moved us to a higher floor with a better view. 😊 Kathleen
What about the occupants of the cabin on the other side of these people? Did you ever converse with them?
We had nightmare neighbors in a balcony cabin. We also have cruised 50+ times and did not encounter anything like this in any other cabin types (including inside cabins). Yes, we have had balcony smokers and pot use (makes me very nauseated and I couldn't use our balcony) but we never call about those things. Our last cruise was our nightmare situation. The neighbors were very loud and it seemed like they were in our cabin with us. (not a connecting cabin) They also had very loud sexy time multiple times a day at all hours. 1st of all, good for them for enjoying their cruise, but not appropriate to be so over the top in volume in a public situation. We tried some subtle hints such as talking a little louder so they could hear how thin the walls were. I sent a kind, discreet note under their door just to say that the walls were very thin and we hoped that we weren't disturbing them as I am sure that they noticed we can hear each other very clearly through the wall. That night and the following 4 nights they were louder than ever and had friends in their cabin at 2am and they loudly stated that they were apparently disturbing people with their "enthusiasm". On day 6 of our 7 day cruise my husband finally went to guest services to plead for an intervention or a room change- we were not able to sleep! They told us that unless we called while they were engaged in the noise they couldn't speak to them. He then asked if we could change cabins, even an inside cabin would be fine. They did move us and we had 1 good night. I wish we had done that sooner.
People be crazy. I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
We were next to a man yelling at the women in the cabin. I will never get a cabin that opens into the cabin next to it. Connecting doors are not very soundproof. I figured if I complained it would get worse.
We once had a connecting room on Independence of the Seas ~ Just the worst! That said, we were rarely in our room so it worked out. In your case, should it happen again, I might go to Guest Services as soon as there is a problem. They’ll have a record of the issue AND God Forbid, if the Neighbor’s start getting crazy, they’ll have a “paper trail”. Also, you never know, they might have moved your cabin bc of your loyalty.
For your story, you should say if the cruise was at full occupancy. I'm hearing that a lot of cruises are full occupancy now. Everyone seems to think it's so easy to get a room changed. They would probably only change if there was something wrong with the cabin, such as a leak or A/C that didn't work.
I believe, if you had complained to guest services, you may have been moved to a better cabin & possibly a balcony cabin! A woman I met on my last cruise to the Mediterranean was upgraded from an inside to a balcony because she complained that it had a foul smell. She got a balcony cabin for 7 days out of her 14 day cruise. They had to clean it & air it out before moving her back to her original cabin. She was thrilled how guest services at Princess handled her complaint!
I would call guess service to change the cabin and would have told them about the conversation you heard
Sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience.
Thank you! We are very hopeful to never have it happen again 😅
I am so sorry this happened to you...but Ah No! I would have recorded their conversations/tv and gone to straight to guest services! But i understand just wanting to keep the peace, y'all are so kind.
