We've just had a great cruise on P&O Iona to Norway, but something that did keep us awake at night was the banging noises from the balconies.
We like to also sleep with our balcony door open slightly as we love listening to the sound of the water and waves, unfortunately this was tricky on this cruise due to the constant banging noises from the balcony.
We were near the aft of the ship, on Deck 10 in a balcony room where each of the balconies has a metal divider between each room. These dividers are designed so that they can be opened and folded back, I guess if families have two neighbouring rooms.
The problem is that these dividers don't close properly, leaving a gap around the lock area which allows the metal divider to move back and forth, making a loud banging noise in the process.
It would be simple enough for P&O to fix, but it would appear something that they aren't interesting in resolving :(
If you do find yourself in one of these balconies, you can easily stop your own balcony from making a noise, but the problem is that you are still very likely to hear everyone else's balcony if they don't do the same.
Until P&O do come to their senses and fit a little bit of rubber in the latch, do yourself and other passengers a favour and wedge a folded bit of paper in there to stop the banging.
Although we haven't been in an equivalent cabin on Arvia, I imagine that due to the fact they are very similar ships, this would also be an issue on those cabins as well. Maybe you could let us know in the comments if you have experiences this?
