Was on same cruise and agree re cabin. I always insist (pre-book) a midships cabin with no facilities near, no bar above, no toilet near, no lift near etc. Our cabin (B deck midships B183) was fine except air conditioning, it was always hot and stuffy - cant win? However, was quiet, clean and ok if rather dated compared with ships from, say Princess Cruises, Staff were all great and we enjoyed cruise, but entertainment ! Worst I have encountered. Only one good male singer, rest of the entertainment was not worth stopping up to see. But there, I cant stand jugglers or old and loud tribute acts (who were well past their sell by date) ! Not much happened on deck at night. Would have been nice, some nights, for some entertainment on deck, live singers etc. Once a week they do the "Moon" show, but thats all and that is a bit out dated now I think. Food was good. We have actually done 12 cruises, five previously with Ocean Village, and we have always enjoyed ourselves but the ship is now looking a bit dated although clean and acceptable. We did the 14 night cruise and have no real complaints. Hint - Dont bother going round the town in St Lucia, its a dump. Rest of the islands are fine. Best trip was to Virgin Gorda Baths - Paradise !

Doesn't matter what cabin you are in these noises are audible throughout the ship and is just either the ship being maneouvered into port or the anchor being prepared to be put down and it is only for a short time, get real.
