We were on the Emerald deck right above the Vista Lounge and experienced no noise at all except for one night, we could sligtly hear a voice on the microphone down stairs. Couldnt even make out what he was saying. Just keep in mind, there are 2600 passengers and another 1600 or so crew all on one ship. So understand that you may hear some people having a good time here and there. You cant expect not to, everyones on vacation! But in regards to the cabins, they are well insulated for sound. Have a great cruise!!
