Royal Caribbean · Wonder of the Seas · Deck 10, Cabin 10044

The cabin that needs the most maintenance and why

Engineering department, Wonder of the Seas. Cabin 10044 and the six cabins around it on port side Deck 10 have a recurring plumbing issue related to the ship's vacuum waste system. The main vacuum line runs directly behind those cabins and a junction fitting at that point occasionally loses pressure, causing toilets to flush weakly or make unusual sounds. We fix it every turnaround day and it works fine for about four days before the pressure drops again. It has been this way since the ship launched. Guests rarely notice because the effect is subtle — the toilet works, it just sounds different. But if you are in that section and your toilet sounds like it is gargling, now you know why. Engineering is aware. The permanent fix requires a dry dock modification.

Norwegian Cruise Line · Norwegian Bliss · Deck 14, Cabin 14112

The cabin that generates the most guest complaints (and why)

Worked Norwegian for four years. Deck 14 forward cabins directly under the outdoor sports complex get a very specific noise issue: when the racetrack is operating (particularly mornings when car racing happens), you can hear it as a low rumble-vibration. It's not loud but it's persistent and some guests find it deeply irritating, especially if they're light sleepers. Guests rarely know this before booking. Guest services knows cabin 14112 and its neighbors by name at this point. If you book it and it bothers you — call immediately, they'll move you if anything is available. Usually something is.
