Awww...Devoy, I hate that you had anything less than perfection on your honeymoon voyage. That makes me sad. I will say, tho, that it totally reinforces the use in stateroom reviews. Definitely gotta know what's going on above, below, and beside you when choosing a stateroom. Hope your next voyage you'll have paid the noisy dues and have nothing but good karma and a peaceful, blissful room to call home. :wave:

You're quite welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.
The noise in no way ruined the cruise. We did have a great time. It was just an annpyance that you would think they would have accounted for. It's not like this was the first ship that was ever built.

I felt the same way. You would think that in this day and age that they would be able to dampen the sound coming from areas like the pool deck or the clubs...atleast to lessen the sound transfer into the staterooms. I thought a very thick layer of sound absorbing compressed foam in the ceiling could have made a world of difference for us...

It seems to be how things go with us and Disney Vacations. When we had our parents over after we got back from the honeymoon to show them pictures and I was mentioning this mishap, my father asked me "Is that company ever going to be able to live up to your expectations?" It made me think for a minute, but I realized that obviously they have in the past or I wouldn't have these expectations to begin with, right? Anyway, as I mentioned, besides the noise issue, DCL met or exceeded all other expectations we had. I promise I will get a trip report posted soon!
I did send a follow up letter to DCL Guest Services. As I wrote the letter I realized the more the issue bothered me. Once you break it down, we were either woken up or kept up 5 of our 7 nights because of noise issues that could have been controlled or avoided, and I just think that is unacceptable and that there should be a disclaimer on rooms under the main pool deck that say "Noise from the above deck can be distracting and intrusive at times" or something of the sort that let us know what we were getting into when we decided to spend the extra $600 on that room catagory.

Ship: Dream
Stateroom # 10568
Room Category: 4A - Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Veranda
Aft, Mid or Forward: Mid
Date of Sailing: April 5, 2012
We sailed on the Dream and had a wonderful vacation. Our room was mid-ship close to elevators. We enjoyed how convenient our room was to the pool. However, our room was so noisy. Every morning we were awaken by the noise from above. We could hear chairs being moved, kids/people running, etc. The evenings were the same. The last evening was so noisy even our tired kids complained about the running feet. My in-laws were just down a few rooms in room 10562 and they said they did not have the noise we did.
We are going on the Dream next March and this time we have the same type of room on deck 8. I will miss being so close to the pool deck, but hopefully it will be a little more quiet.

It's a shame really. These cabins on Deck 10 midship are in a fabulous location. Close to Cabanas...close to the pools, and in the center of the ship of course. Our stateroom attendant said that many of his guests have been complaining about the noise from above. I really hope they do something about this when the ships are scheduled for their first drydock refurb.
Sarabeth, I highly suggest you mail a letter expressing your concerns to DCL. I've already been contacted by them and they are working on a resolution with us. I am also going to be forwarding my correspondence over to Karl Holz so whoever read/filters his email messages can see how my situation has played out thus far. Hope you enjoyed your cruise despite the noise. We can honestly say that if it weren't for the noise we would stay in that cabin (10600 on the Fantasy) again.

This was our second Disney Cruise but our first on the Dream. This room was located directly, I mean directly, across form the Deck 7 Laudry area. We didn't realize that when we booked, but really enjoyed the convevience of it. It was a 4 night cruise so normally I wouldn't have done laundry but we were following up with 10 nights at WDW, so it gave me a head start on the "unmentionables". We had no complaints since the room was very quiet, and comfortably accomodated 5. We LOVED the split bath. On our last Disney cruise we did not have that feature and would never be without it again unless it was just Hubby and I. Since our last cruise was an inside stateroom we were very excited about having an Oceanview. To be honest, though, I would go for verandah in the future since the window was more of a tease. "Oh look at the beautiful view, wouldn't you love to breath in the fresh Caribbean air?" Psych!!!! lol
As expected, service at dinner and elsewhere was fantastic. Our dining room Server and assisstant Server were fabulous. The kids (6 of them ages 12 to 18) adored them both. Not an easy task with kids that age. We usually closed the dining room cause the kids wanted to hang out with Travis (Jamaica) and Carlos (Peru). Our stateroom host Stephen was great. He was always available and on top of things. Our Palo evening we ordered room service for the kids since they wanted to stay in the room and watch movies. Service was prompt and accurate. Food, however, was ok...nothing spectacular but I guess that's why we go to the restaurants at dinner. Better selection and all round experience.
We had beautiful weather with the exception of wind. Such a windy cruise which, as you can imagine, made for a rocky cruise. On our first Disney cruise none of us felt any "sesa sickness". In fact, besides a gentle sway we felt nothing. This cruise was a completely different experience. Weather conditions are a fact of cruising and I in no way felt it ruined our cruise, but I definitely have a more realistic expectation for our next cruise. I will also be more prepared for queasiness.
Despite the Dream being 50% bigger we never felt overwhelmed or crowded. Besides 20 minute lineupes for the AquaDuck we never had to wait.
We're very happy we booked our next cruise, on the Fantasy, while onboard and are really looking forward to our Verandah!

Stateroom: 2546
Room Category: 09B Deluxe Oceanview
Location: Midship
Sail Date: June 12, 2011
I have to admit that before sailing I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like being on desk 2.Somehow it felt second-class to me. However, it turned out to be a great room. So much so that we're staying in almost the exact same location on our next one.
The room was really convenient to Enchanted Garden, the midship elevators, and steps up to the atrium. And even though it was close convenient to lots of places, we never heard any noise.
The room had a large port hole that my daughter loved to sit in. There was also only one time that I actually felt any kind of ship motion and that was on the very last night. I would definitely recommend this stateroom.

Stateroom # 5640
Room Category - 7A Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigators Verandah
Aft, Mid or Forward - Aft
Date of Sailing - 2/11/2000
This is from quite a long time ago, but I wanted to include this one since it is a Navigators Verandah which sleeps 3 people. Since my DH were not married (we had just gotten engaged, and booked this two weeks out as a celebration) and we were traveling with his 13 year old daughter, we separated the beds (as you can sort of see in the first picture). I ended up taking the convertible sofa actually because I wanted to be close the the verandah, and it was very comfortable.
Unfortunately I do not remember if there was a steamer trunk.
This stateroom is just a few steps from the Buena Vista Theatre, which we found very convenient. It is also on the same deck as the kids clubs, although we found no issues with noise.
What I especially loved about the Navigators Verandah was the bench seat. Great place to curl up and read a book!
You can see somewhat the beds separated
Open porthole on the verandah

This stateroom has an extra large verandah, which was wonderful! Although we were not crazy about the solid white wall, the size more than made up for that. The location is convenient for running up to Beach Blanket Buffet and the drink station, and there were no noise issues.

Room Category - 4B Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
Aft, Mid or Forward - Aft
Date of Sailing - 10/22/2009
This stateroom sleeps 5, although there were only two of us. We did have a steamer trunk in this room, and loved having the additional storage space just for the mere fact of keeping things out of sight!
The location could not have been more perfect. We were literally steps from the aft lifts and stairs. At first we were concerned this would be a noise issue, but it was not in the slightest! The convenience to Beach Blanket Buffet and the drink station were awesome - especially the drink station. We loved that the verandahs on this deck do not have the possibility of a minuscule obstruction (off to either side depending on where you are located...and not all have this). Overall and excellent room and location!

Stateroom # 8048
Room Category - T Concierge One Bedroom Suite with Verandah
Aft, Mid or Forward - Midship
Date of Sailing - 11/27/2010
Wow! I'm not even sure where to begin with this one! How about the one and only negative - middle of the night noise from the pool deck above as the CMs clean the deck (think chairs being dragged mainly). While this did not bother me (I'm hard of hearing, therefore NOTHING wakes me up), I would imagine this would be quite bothersome to others. It didn't affect either one of us, but that's not to say others would feel differently.
Ok, now on to the good! I have toured both the Dream and Fantasy and can honestly say I would never book a one-bedroom suite on either one of those, especially after enjoying our one-bedroom suite on the Magic. This is simply due to the stateroom layout between the two different classes of ships. What I love about this stateroom is the fact that both the living room and the bedroom have a verandah right there next to them. I can wake up and look out at the ocean with no obstructions in my way (same can't be said about the Dream class where you have to sit-up or bend your head to look around the partial wall and then across the living room furniture).
I also love the wood furniture and bookcase in this stateroom. Very classic and classy.
The master bedroom has a bed, two side tables, a side chair with ottoman, and entertainment center with a good amount of drawer space. A lovely sliding set of doors with frosted windows separates the bedroom from the living room.
The master bathroom? Heavenly! Three sections - first section closest to the bedroom is a vanity and chair with a WALK-IN closet across from it. Ample, ample, ample storage space. The second section in the middle is the double sink and a jacuzzi tub across from it. And that jacuzzi tub is just heavenly! The third and furthest back section is the toilet and marble walk-in shower. We loved the shower. Very roomy, and true walk-in.
There is a nice, albeit small, dining area which allowed us to order in from the dining room two nights. We truly enjoyed this! The dining area also has a wet bar and fridge and a hutch. The living room, in addition to the gorgeous entertainment center, has a sofa and two side chairs.
Both the living room and master bedroom have sliding doors leading out to the double sized verandah, which extends across both.
The bathroom for the living room area also has a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. There is a generously sized closet in the front as well, which serves a great purpose for jackets, scuba gear, etc.
The location of this stateroom is fabulous, about midway between the midship and aft lifts/stairs. It's one deck down from Topsiders and the drink station, which is awesome.

Stateroom # 7625
Room Category - 11A Standard Inside Stateroom
Aft, Mid or Forward - Aft
Date of Sailing - 5/9/2012
Having sailed in only verandah staterooms, we were determined to try an inside stateroom, and guess what? We loved it! Well, we loved this particular stateroom. The layout for the standard inside, which does not have the split bath, is a bit different...and honestly we much preferred this. The bed is straight ahead when walking in, and it faces the door. This makes the room seem so much more open when you are lying in bed. (With the other categories, the bed is turned sideways and faces a wall, which is relatively close to the bed.) No steamer trunk here, but we felt the drawer space and closet space provided ample room for two people. The room could sleep three.
We had absolutely no noise issues - wow, it was as quiet as could be here! The location was absolutely incredible. We were just steps from the secret aft deck, and also just steps from the secret staircase that leads directly into Topsiders. We were also close to the aft lifts/stairs and were only two decks down from the drink station. There honestly could not be a more perfect location.
I apologize for the messy closet and desk! We overpacked (five checked bags and two carry-ons...crazy!), and we also were involved with a gift exchange, so we were amassing quite a collection of things!

Stateroom #: 8534
Room Category: 5B: Forward Starboard
Date of Sailing: August 5th, 2012 - August 10th, 2012
The room was just ahead of the forward elevator lobby. While I was never waken by noise, my friends from Canada were in the connecting stateroom 8532 and they are admitted light sleepers, were woken up every night at least once by someone slamming a door, running down the hallway or talking loudly as they passed.
The verandah was another thing entirely. There's simply no way to slide the chairs or table on the verandah without making a horrendous racket. As soon as I discovered this fact I always picked the chair or table up to move it. This simple gesture was a foreign concept to my fellow guest in the staterooms above and below me for several decks. Several times I was deep into a book only to be jarred back into reality by the roar of rubber feet dragging on the deck. Please understand, my hearing was damaged from years as a nightclub DJ so it's not that I'm sensitive to sound. The sound is very unpleasant so please be considerate on your next cruise.
The stateroom was spotless and kept that way by the host. I found the bed covers to be rather heavy for my taste. I asked the host for a single sheet when passing in the hallway and found the sheet on my bed less than an hour later.
This stateroom has a full width verandah with a railing and glass below. If you look at a picture of the Dream it's the 8th stateroom with a full verandah from the front of the boat on deck 8.
Getting around was easy because we walked down the hall and took the mid or aft elevators if going to Deck 3,4 or 11. For the theaters or the the adult areas we took the forward elevators.

Stateroom #: 2110
Room Category: 9C
Aft, Mid or Forward: Aft
Date of Sailing: 7/28/12
Room was relatively quite, slept 4 with 1 pull down bunk and convertible sofa. Large round window, but did not have steamer trunk. Only real complaint during trip was room temp being somewhat tepid, but a service call helped that as they came out and changed air filter and hooked up some device to the A/C control to change settings. Did note that that electronic devices in room (i.e. wave phones and alarm clock) really need to be changed out, as they are so well used the buttons don't really work anymore. The wave phones as a result were never used (you could never push a button and get it to work), and the alarm clock if you bumped it would unplug and reset (which resulted in a 1/2 hour fight to reset the time).

The wave phones as a result were never used (you could never push a button and get it to work), and the alarm clock if you bumped it would unplug and reset (which resulted in a 1/2 hour fight to reset the time).

Ship: Disney Dream
Stateroom # 9168
Room Category: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
Aft (Almost as Aft as you can get)
Date of Sailing: 10/23/11 - 10/27/11
We traveled on our first cruise on the Disney Dream for our honeymoon in October 2011. Our room was almost as aft as you can possibly get, as we were the second to last room from the back of the ship but it was pretty close to the stairs which was a plus. The best part of the room was the fact that we were so close to Cabanas and to the pool decks. Our room was fairly quiet except for the morning that we were in Nassau. When the ship docked, it vibrated so bad that it actually woke us up. Our bathroom doors were making a rattling noise from all the vibrating so I got up and closed them and that drastically reduced the noise. Other than the minor vibrating/noise problem when docking, I would highly recommend the room. I really liked the location and having a verandah was really nice with no obstruction. I believe the room could sleep 3 or 4 and it had a split bath.

Interesting, there's a hand towel where a tissue box was in my stateroom on the Magic.
