Island Cruiser:

I feel you have brought up an accurate definition of what vibration should be considered troublesome, and which should not. If it rattles glasses, it is serious. If not, it is not, and I agree 100%. On our Voyager cruise, the vibration in our suite 784 on the port side certainly did rattle glasses, and caused some to fall to the floor. However, in some Horizon suites more to the starboard, it did not. And elsewhere on the ship, it did not. Our favorite ship is the Navigator, which shows that we know that ships DO vibrate to some extent, and raise the issue only when it becomes excessive.

This post is certainly not meant to be of the "smart alec" variety, but instead serious. I have had my reports on serious vibration on the Voyager, as well as of NO vibration on the Navigator, labeled as "subjective." And, I have searched for a way to objectify them. Now, you have provided it. Glasses rattling in our suite 784 on the Voyager? Yes! Glasses rattling in our suites on our two Navigator cruises? No!

Thank you,
Richard :) :) :)
