JoAnn:

There is another factor at work here, in addition to peoples' tolerance for motion. The control of unwanted motion in any motive device is a very "dark" and difficult science. Anyone who has ever tried to diagnose and fix vibration in an automobile knows what I mean. With a ship, it can be "shaking away" at one point, and 20' away be just fine. All I know is SOME of the stern suites had unacceptable vibration and shaking. (We've cruised the Navigator twice, and cruised through Hurricane Floyd on another line. Enough said about our tolerance.)

And it is true that the majority of the complaints I know about came from guests with suites more toward the port side of the stern than center or starboard. All I personally know is I advise to avoid suite 784 and 970 (the two I was actually in). Given the way vibration spreads through an object such as a ship, it is totally expectable that NOT ALL stern suites would be affected in the same way, as S and L says. And I know Radisson is working on the problem. Problem is, modifications could cause S and L's suite to shake like crazy next time, while our suite 784 might be fine.

For us, until Radisson comes up with a total and verifiable "fix" to ALL of the Voyager vibration problems, we'll stay off the stern --- even though there is a chance the suite would be fine.

Thanks,
Richard :) :) :)
