Is it really that "bad" or noisy to be located right by elevators?

[momof4girls]

Trying to look at an April cruise on Magic. We would like connecting OV rooms, and it seems (at least online) that the only available is 1246 & 1248, which puts us right by the elevators/hallway to the other side. We'll have four kids, so is it a bad location for us? I had to wonder since they are the only two available...

No you won't hear any noise. I have been by the elevators twice (on the Carnival Pride and on the Carnival Legend) but you don't hear any noise. I like to be close to the elevators.................it is less walking after a long day :p

We've stayed in cabins near the elevators/hallway. Some complain about loud passengers. We were never bothered.

I've been right next to the elevators on two cruises. I never had a problem with noise and found the location to be very convenient.

Same experience as the others when we had a cabin near the elevators... no issues at all.

The elevators are virtually silent with the exception of the 'bing' or 'bing bing' announcing their arrival. Occasionally, the occupant will be a tad loud but they're likely to be loud going down the hallway, as well.

I think you'll be fine and you'll probably enjoy the convenience of having the elevator nearby!

Thank you for your replies! Now I'm trying to decide whether to book the April 28 cruise or wait until they release the first week of May. :rolleyes:

we booked in a cabin right near the main bank of elevators.

 

we loved the location so much, we book the same room on a sister ship the following year.

We do the same every year, actually book 2 cabins (2 couples) just off the main Atrium elevators. Never had noise issues.

We always book by the elevators- we like not having to walk those looooong hallways late at night, or when we have forgotten something in the cabin and want to just run back. And the a halls stretch as the week goes by. Never hear them and rarely hear people.

Agreed! I also liked being close to the elevators when you are carrying a tray of snacks from the buffet back to your cabin...;)

I usually bring a small fan on vacation to drown out any noise, just in case. But I have also never had a problem with being near the elevator. Have a great time!

I actually prefer having rooms by the elevators/stairwell. First, there really isn't a noise factor. The most noise I have heard is from the people across the hall slamming their door. Second, I feel more secure knowing the kids can head to that stairwell (they never take the elevator) from whatever public floor they are on and get to our room without going past a bunch of staterooms. It just seems like an easy precaution to me.

The elevators are extremley quiet. Never can tell about the people getting off late at night. We always are within two or three rooms of the elevators.

On my and DH last cruise on the Legend, our cabin was next to the main elevators. We never had any problems with noise.

[richstowe]

Great topic. Always wondered if having this cabin location would be a problem. Glad to hear that it appears not to be.

[iluvcruises]

Our last cruise our room was directly off the elevators. I was not thrilled with this as I thought about the noise also. But not only did we NOT have a problem with noise, it was such a great and easy location everytime we went to our cabin!!

[funfamilyof6]

We have 4 kids also, and we LOVE being near the elevators and so did they. This time around we were only able to get rooms 10 doors down and although it's not much further, I would have rather had rooms right next to the elevators.

 

Have a great time! :)

I've been right next to the elevators on Liberty and Pride. Never heard anything... and like some other posters mentioned... It's EXTREMELY convenient. Personally, I think there may be people complaining about elevator noise so that other people will avoid booking them! lol! :rolleyes:

[sail2sea]

I always try to stay as close to elevators as I can. Unless I get an aft balcony.

[Rottweiler Puppy]

I was more worried about loud drunks then the machinery so I got a door away from them. Still no guarantee, especially if they end up rooming next to me. lol

Same here! We'll be on Breeze in June... Aft Balcony this time! ;)

[CRUISE4JANE]

I changed my room which was further down the hall to a room 3 doors from the elevator when my daughter decided to join hubby and me. We had a cabin for 2 and needed a cabin for 3. Now I am more excited about my location :) since I am closer to the elevator. I never did like walking the long halls either.

[maldenmusic]

Really haven't noticed any noise in our room from the elevators.

[JennLuvs2Cruise]

We always choose to have a cabin located near elevators and we have never experienced noise disturbances.
