IPlayWithString Posted December 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2014 DH talked to our PVP today about our upcoming trip. The room we had originally booked was under the casino and I wasn't terribly happy about that because I'm concerned that the noise would keep us up all night. So the PVP found us another room (a slight upgrade, but worth it IMO)...and it's next to an elevator bank, he says. So which is worse? Being next to the elevators or under the casino?

serene56 Posted December 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) 6 of one half a dozen of another What ship. What deck. What elevator Even or odd side Right side. By casino bar. Very bad choice. Left side which us even will not be niisy being under the casino...which is carpeted But it depends on exactly where Deck 6 is a bad choice I prefer cabin by elevator Upcoming splendor is 7411 Prefer this area on every cruise. But on victory it was gone so I had to go to the other side Edited December 17, 2014 by serene56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyD Posted December 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have been by the elevator a few times. Never a problem at all. That would get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted December 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I will take the stateroom near the elevator provided above and below are staterooms. Like Serene56 I love the area around the aft elevator two down from the Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineCruiser24 Posted December 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I like being by the elevator, it's easier to get to the rest of the ship and I've never noticed any extra noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPlayWithString Posted December 17, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We're on deck 1 with an ocean view, so I don't know what's below us. I know above us is more state rooms. DH is also concerned about the rocking, since we typically book rooms on either deck 6 or 7. I told him it shouldn't be a problem, but we can ask my mom what she thinks after she comes back from her January cruise (she'll be on deck 2, different ship though).

nwcruiselover Posted December 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd much rather be near the elevators than under the casino. I have been near elevators several times and it was no problem at all, and quite handy to be so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranysT Posted December 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Another vote for next to elevator. I always try to book as close to elevator as possible. Have never had any kind of noise from elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted December 17, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If you're by elevators near casino I would avoid it. Smoke has tendency to drift down stairwells and elevator shafts to the near by cabins. I still cruise for Warm Chocolate Melting Cake (with 2 sugar-free vanilla ice-creams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckle53 Posted December 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We had a cabin that backed up to the elevators and never heard a peep from them or people using them. We went up 2 floors and were right at the entrance to the Lido buffet. Best location ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted December 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We have always been close to the elevators because of mobility issues (plus they are everywheres really) and never had a problem. The casino has to be loud during the later evening, everyone yelling as they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeisgoodPat Posted December 17, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It seems like a no brainer! We always try to get close to the elevators, so convenient and I have never had it be noisy. Have a great time. Cruising is the best way to travel.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanaire Posted December 17, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We ALWAYS book cabins next to the elevators because of the convenience. We've never had any issues either, except for cabin 299 on the Fantasy. Right behind this cabin are the elevator motors and you can hear them run all night long! So stay away from this particular cabin. :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPlayWithString Posted December 17, 2014 Author #23 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It seems like a no brainer!. Cruising is the best way to travel.:D That's Hubs' opinion too. :) We've taken two cruises a year for the last couple of years and we're splurging on the 7 day for Spring Break because it's going to be hard for him to take time off this summer.

You will have less rocking on the lower decks. It will be nice and quiet where you are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindsorFred Posted December 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have been by the elevator a few times. Never a problem at all. That would get my vote. Same for us, our prefered location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
