There is some vibration and noise.....like a white noise consistently.  I thought this was going to keep me awake but I adapted to it....I am a VERY light sleeper.  I am not sure it is any more vibration or white noise than in other cabins....I wasn't in them to compare. This cabin faces directly aft.  The window looks out across a small deck which is only steps away from the room through an aft door.  This is almost like a private balcony as there is never anyone out there.  I liked going out that back door and taking the outside stairs up to the Lido deck.

We booked a guarantee Cat C room for our Panama Canal cruise Dec 2009 and were assigned 3331 about 10 days before departure, a Cat C room, so no upgrade.  But it was a very good location, starboard, just behind the atrium elevators and next to the atrium - actually next to an office on the atrium.  We were one stateroom from the door to the outside and enjoyed being so close the the great promonade walk-around deck.  The view from our window across the promonade deck was still good, though we had a post in part of our view.  I took pictures through the window of ships in the canal lock next to us.  It was fun. We enjoyed the chairs right outside our window every day.

The room itself I think is a little shorter than the standard OV, as we had a 2 seat couch instead of a full 3 seat couch.  But the convenient and quiet location was worth it even on an extended cruise.  The only noise we had was that we would hear the outside door slam every now and then but it was not distuptive to our experience.

HH 3384 Large Ocean View Stateroom    Deck 3 Lower Promenade Deck
[
----
[
This cabin is on the Lower Promenade deck with quick access to the outside - it was great for our Alaskan cruise in September 2007. Even though it was an obstructed outside cabin it was still nice to get some natural light in the cabin. One cannot see into the cabin from the Lower Promenade deck during the day but at night you had to keep the drapes drawn (the cabin steward will do it when turning down the bed).

We did not hear anything through the connecting door. Sometimes we heard some faint noises from the deck above us in the morning that may the galley or another dining related area. Some mornings we heard them washing down the deck and bulkheads.

We still enjoyed the room and would book a similar cabin again.

TONS of storage-- We could have brought 4 more suitcases to fill all of the drawers & storage space-- honestly I think 50% of our storage space was not used and this includes one closet solely housing our double stroller and another w/ froggy their bathtub for the cruise ( 7051 didn't have a bathtub  (IRL_Joanie's Note: Shower Only)-- sorry no pics of the bathroom).
He had our steward empty our fridge so we could put water & milk cartons for the little ones inside.

Great lighting, didn't use the hairdryer, comfortable chairs and bed. The room decor was great & well kept minus the cigarette burns to the carpet & furniture. Lots of hangers-- too many in fact w/ the laundry service we had to keep sending them back. Great to have the menus each day-- but with the sale advertisements and everything else-- I felt like we were at home receiving junk mail and wasting trees. Alarm clock., TV & DVD player worked great. Didn't bring an IPOD and never got around to hooking anything into the TV so no comment on able or not.
Location-- we loved it. easy access to aft elevators and also to back exit w/ stairs up to Lido deck. Little bit of a walk to Neptune lounge but we have been used to much larger ships so seemed like a short walk to us. I would definitely prefer SB aft vs SA forward-- as we were so conveniently close to the aft elevators for lido restaurant, main dining rooms, kings room, Club HAL, pool, sports deck, etc.-- for us the majority of what occupied our time was in the aft-- we did go to the shows, spa & gym-- but still would have preferred aft fs forward.
We did have vibration noise briefly once-- this was resolved with DH placing some cotton balls behind one of the picture frames to prevent the clanking noise. Otherwise there was the normal ship vibration that we felt anywhere forward, aft or midship but not a nuisance to us.

No noise from chairs being moved on the deck above as others has posted- but this was alaska. However it was August and we did have exceptional weather and the roof was frequently open- but still no noise from above.

We did have trouble with our door not locking for 3 days and one other room maintenance issue- but these were resolved within an hour after advising the hotel manager (came back to our room twice to have it not locked).

Laundry service-- excellent haven't worn a pair of pressed pants for about 15 years and likely won't again until we cruise HAL. We sent laundry off every 24-48 hours and was always returned within 24 hours. Same with dry-cleaning. They did lose a couple of articles of clothing but located them once I let them know description of what was missing- I had read posts before on keeping track of the items you send- otherwise I likely would have never known they were missing- I don't think it was intentional seeing as it was the 2nd socks to a pair, toddler clothing, etc.
Neptune service- excellent, Steward- excellent. They did forget our corsages on formal night but sent us a lovely bouquet of flowers instead.

DD 7056 Large Ocean View Stateroom   Deck 7 Navigation Deck
[
Stateroom Description only:  I don't have a picture but I can tell you that we were very disappointed in the room. When you walk into the room, the bathroom is on the left and has a small shower...no tub. On the right is the desk and the TV sits ON the desk so you will not have much space...just enough for a laptop. To the right of the desk are three VERY small closets. They are approx.18 inches wide, at the most! One of the three is actually a half closet with a safe. There are three draws under the desk. There is no chair in the room and no room for a chair! There is a stool which opens for storage.

When you walk into the cabin, the bed is in front of you and to the right. The bathroom "cubicle" extends approximately 6 feet toward the back wall on your left. Between the cubicle and the back wall is a love seat that juts out about 2 feet. There is no way that two people can watch the tv on the loveseat...one person will be facing the wall to the bathroom!!

Another issue with the room is the window. During the day, no one can see in; HOWEVER, at night anyone can see in unless you close the curtain. Also, if you have trouble sleeping with lights on, please know that on the back deck there are some VERY BRIGHT lights that are on all night.

If you are only in the cabin for a week or so, this room is ok. It is in a great location for the back swimming pool and cafe. It is quiet at night unless someone goes out the back doors to the deck! Beware...the doors are heavy and they slam constantly!

We were in the cabin for 84 days!! Definitely not enough room for two people. The worst thing was that my agent charged the same rate as HAL published!! This room is really meant for one person.

By the way, we did a cabin crawl and looked at many other cabins. This room had less closet/storage space than any other cabin we saw. Even inside cabins have more room! (IRL_Joanie's Note: This is an aft partial view.)

To make the pages less graphic intensive, I've divided the ship photos into 3 separate pages, the 1st is the Staterooms themselves, the 2nd is Miscellaneous photos of Public Areas around the ship and the 3rd is the Handicapped (HC) Staterooms on the Amsterdam. Click on the links below to see more photos of the Amsterdam.
