Deck 11, Cabin 11222

The balcony cabin next to the laundry room — mixed bag

Nobody tells you cabin 11222 is next to a guest laundry room until you hear the dryer at 7am. The laundry room operates from early morning until late evening and you can hear a faint tumbling sound through the wall. Not loud enough to be a dealbreaker, but noticeable when the cabin is quiet. The silver lining: we did laundry every other day without walking more than ten steps, which on a seventeen-deck ship is genuinely valuable. The cabin itself is a perfectly nice standard balcony with a good view and no other issues. Our steward was aware of the noise situation and proactively offered to move us, which we declined because the convenience outweighed the annoyance. Just know what you are getting into.
