genovesemylove Posted May 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just wondering if anyone has info on, or experience with this particular cabin? It is directly by the elevators mid ship. Just curious about the noise and how obstructed the view is. I have done searches and cannot find any info.Thanks in advance. Genovese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted May 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) The view downward won't be as blocked as other deck 5 balconies, as it looks down not on a lifeboat but mainly winches. You'd hear elevator bells faintly. We had 4094, just below it, and the only annoying noise came up the stairs from the band in the Ocean Bar. Very convenient location, with 6 elevators steps away and no more than 1/2 a ship length to anyplace. People on the glass elevator will be able to see part of your balcony, but they don't really look unless it is stopped on your floor. These are the winches as seen from 4094: http://halfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/eudm4094DSCN8516.jpg Edited May 3, 2018 by catl331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare boards Posted May 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We had cabin 5100 on the Oosterdam and enjoyed it very much. We did not notice any sound problems and the fact that it seems as if the cabin is open to those on the elevator, we never felt in comfortable about it. If you rode on the elevator, I am sure you would not interested in looking at "balconys". We often felt that the elevator was our personal one because it was right there when you needed it.

bobandjo Posted May 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We were in 5146 last August, further towards the stern, but adjacent to a bank of elevators and we never heard them at all. View from the balcony was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted May 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We were in 5146 last August, ... View from the balcony was excellent.But that far back there are no lifeboats below the balconies to obstruct the view. I believe that's what OP was concerned about.

genovesemylove Posted May 3, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thank you everyone for your replies. We were assigned this cabin for our upcoming Alaska cruise next week. As the travel agent said today, "better to be above the lifeboat than in it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
