Cabin 4656 on the EMPRESS, is it a BAD cabin

[MemoryMaker2669]

I booked cabin 4656 on the Empress and looking at the layout, it is RIGHT near the entrance to the Carmen Dining Room with a public mens room right across the hall. Are the cabins down that hall cut off somehow or are they really RIGHT there?

There is a little lobby area outside the Carmen Dining Room with steps, elevator and mens room. Your room is the first room outside the lobby area. I have been on the Empress of the Seas four times, the only time you are going to hear anything going on is during meal times, especially dinner time. They lock the doors and make you wait in the lobby area until the exact time. It might also be for breakfast too. We also had to wait outside the dining room the evening of the grand buffet at midnight, I do believe you are going to hear some noise, but only during those times. Hope that helps you.
