“Loved Alaska hated to cabin we were in. ”
We were sadly disappointed in our cabin, #1640 . This was an Aqua level cabin, and it was a little long in the tooth, our sheer curtains literally had large rips in them, our bed was concave on the side closes to the interior. Of course we didn’t realize these issues until later. The biggest issue was on our balcony. We went out on the balcony when we set sail and heard the noise but thought it was part of the ship pushing off. Later we realized the loud fan/rushing water sound was coming from the very large vent over our exterior door on our balcony, this noise was 24-7. The room next to us, 1642, also had this vent so I’m sure that it made it even more loud.
My husband went down to customer service and asked if we could be moved and was told no, there were no rooms available that were equal to our room, they were at full capacity. We were in Alaska and sitting on our balcony was not at all calming, I am severely disappointed that there was NO peace and quite in the beautiful tranquil place.
We did ask our Steward about doing something for our mattress, he said he thought he could fix it. He ended up putting a 3” mattress topper on the bed. While it helped , when we woke up in the morning the mattress pad on the bad side of the bed had slid 6-7inches off the top of the bed (leaving a big valley in the middle) and the sheet was untucked and all wonky. The thing that upsets me the most is the balcony, they should never put anyone in this room. We had been on the Equinox this past spring in a concierge cabin and it was terrific, this was an Aqua cabin and a BIG disappointment. I have shared these comments with Celebrity on our exit email survey but I doubt they care.
