Jon54 Posted January 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My wife and I just booked our second cruise ever, the first 10 years ago. We are going in June and when we asked for a cabin mid ship, the two available were right across from the elevators. We took one but I'm now wondering if the noise will be a problem? Booking so late, our other option was at the rear of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted January 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2011 On most ships, the elevators and stairs are in a foyer...they don't open directly to the cabin hallways, despite how it appears on the deck plans....that's not true for EVERY ship, but for most!

Roadtripster Posted January 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I too had the same question and went ahead and booked the one I was interested in. After I started to look at the floor map, heard what everyone was saying about the elevators in a "foyer" and remembering back to the last cruise we were just on, I came to the conclusion that they really won't be too noisy. I am looking forward to getting off the elevator, turning the corner to go down the hall and bam! right there at the cabin. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon54 Posted January 23, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted January 23, 2011 We are on the Carribean Princess, Baja Deck room 433. I do see that the elevators don't open into the hall but we are the first room. We are taking a New England/Canada cruise, and I doubt there will be a lot of "partiers" on board. We are stoked and wonder why we waited so long between cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClerkPatsy Posted January 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The elevators should be in a foyer and your cabin will not be any noisier than any other cabin. My first cabin choice is the one closest to the elevator. I really think you will be fine and will enjoy this location. Happy sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 26, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We now book cabins right at elevator access. Like the previous posters stated--out of the elevator and right into the room. Even with standing directly in front of the elevator you really gotta be listening for the the ding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booking so late, our other option was at the rear of the ship. We were in a cabin right between the entry to the elevator & stairs and it was just fine. I don't recall hearing the dings. Since you said your other option was the rear I'll mention this - one time we were in the 2nd from the last cabin on the ship and whenever the motors were turned on we felt a lot of vibrating. Since then I try to avoid the very back of the ship, though, perhaps it was just that particular ship that did that (Volendam). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolmama_1 Posted January 27, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You should be just fine. We have never been bothered by elevator noise. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
