We just booked this inside room and realized there was an empty space next to it. Does anyone know what it is thats there? Is it a crew member elevator or something? We're worried it might be noisy now. Should we switch our room? There are other ones still available

There is a Facebook page for NCL Latitudes members & a woman posted yesterday about a noise issue at night in a similar cabin. Other group members confirmed your concern that the 'empty spaces' are indeed crew access.

As there is a gap between the two rows of Inside cabins it is almost certainly an entrance to housekeeping storage.  Is there another similar one somewhere else through the Inside cabins between the two banks of elevators?

Based on what I've seen recently on the Gem & the Dawn, which are fairly similar in design, those are large closets for storage/access - hotel and/or housekeeping supplies.  It can also be access to HVAC, electrical-mechanical & communications cabinets or panels.  Another possibility is storage/holding & battery charging closets for motorized scooters & wheechairs, etc. as those need to be stored & kept overnight by room stewards.  Maybe, that's where the butlers & concierge disappeared for the overnight hours but remained quickly available upon request.  

 

Crew access only elevators and elevators required far, a lot more space than what's "boxed" in there - as those served as emergency (secondary) egress routes for passengers if & when general alarms are sounded and mandatory evacuations are ordered ... those are typically right in front of/behind the passenger stairs and elevators - it's also the "secret" passages for Haven/suite guests when priority escorted by designated members like butlers & concierge, etc.
