BC Gal Ann Posted November 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I am hoping someone can let me know if this is a quiet location on the Freedom. Last year we were in stateroom 6383 on the Valor and it was extremely noisy. We heard the elevators, the room service and house keeping trolleys as they hit the metal plate in the hall and the music and noise from the casino. I had to do a lot of convincing to get my husband to go on another cruise after that location. Thank you in advance for any information on this stateroom. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail811 Posted November 22, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2011 You will be just fine! Your cabin is on a deck between two other passengers decks. You should have no noise issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance for any information on this stateroom. :) you are across the way from the cabin stewards closet. Deck 6-- many cabins are noisy. But when you say you heard the noise from the elevator-- are you talking about noise from Passengers. Because the ding from the elevator is so quiet-- even when in the room with the doors you really gotta listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Gal Ann Posted November 23, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We heard the bing and for some reason it was not not quiet. :) This is the first time we have had such a noisy cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted November 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We have stayed in 7411 twice on the Liberty and once on the Freedom- awesome area. No across the hall neighbor. (its a firedoor contrary to what people say here) convenient to the stairs.elevators. two floors up for food two down for entertainment. Not once did we hear elevator noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vawalkers Posted November 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I would want to be a little further aft if I were you. Our cabin for our last Freedom cruise was 7391. We have booked that cabin again for this January. I noticed as we walked from the Atrium to our cabin that the noise from the Atrium area, (people noise and piano) could be heard past where your cabin would be located. Have a great cruise!!!

Swampbaby Posted November 23, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We had 7332 on the Freedom and it actually opens to the hallway where the mid-ship elevators are located. NO problems with noise and keep in mind everyone getting off those elevators going to our side of the ship had to pass our door. As this deck is sandwiched between two decks of cabins it really was quiet. ENJOY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
