To all:

Again, my advice as to acceptability of vibration in suites is to get a plan of your deck from the RSSC website and make sure your contemplated cabin is forward of the laundry room.

As jhp says, I had read some posts about vibration on the Voyager before we booked, but never read any specifically identifying it to the aft suites. And, as she says, we had actually seen more posts about vibration on the Navigator, which we do not find bothersome and have had two Navigator cruises as a result. That's why we were surprised.

I did not post anything about a "goodwill certificate" on this thread, and never have posted anything on this subject on any thread. It is doubtful that ANYONE is ever "entitled" to one --- just depends in each case on how bad the problem was and how badly Radisson wants to keep the customer as a repeater. So I don't want this discussion to take that direction. Just suffice it to say that our TA has been informed, and what ever happens, happens. My main concern here is that my friends from the board avoid this problem until (and unless) it is repaired.

One final piece of information on the aft suites vibration issue. I was curious how the World Cruise guests had fared in those suites on such a long cruise (some had actually remained for the VTC cruise). What I learned was this. The World Cruise was not full, as was the VTC. So Radisson, knowing of the aft suite vibration, pretty much assigned World Cruisers to other suites!In fact, some of these aft suites had not been used in so long that VTC guests found mechanicanical parts missing! The suites had not been used in so long that they were "canabalized" for parts to repair other suites! But as our cruise was full, these suites HAD to be used, and were.

Next, I'll start a thread with a bit of info on the ports, in a day or two.

Thanks,
Richard :) :) :)
