Cabins directly next to elevators and stairs

[ReturnCruiser]

We’re looking at a veranda cabin that backs up to the elevators on an Odyssey class ship (e.g., 815, 717, or 621). We were wondering if noise from the elevator shaft/doors could be heard from within the cabin. Our alternative is a penthouse cabin with a connecting door in a location that is not near the elevators/stairs/exterior doors/public spaces. Which would be better? This would be our first Seabourn cruise and I’m admit to being noise sensitive. I realize that noise from a connecting door cabin is dependent on the folks in the cabin. Thanks.

We have stayed in 521 on the Odyssey, and had no noise from the elevators.

We were on Sojourn on deck six next to an elevator and heard absolutely nothing.  We enjoyed the proximity.  In fact, this was one of our favorite veranda suites ever--even better than deck eight more costly suites.

No noise from across the corridor from the elevators.  But that is not the same as next door.

I also think that being on a smaller ship, fewer passengers, and not a "spring break" atmosphere, you won't really hear much at all.

Likewise, have shared a wall with the elevators and had zero issue with it.  As  @SLSD said, the proximity was very convenient.

Had a PH suite 915 on Odyssey. No noise at all from elevator.

Thank you all for the above responses. Looks like we’ll keep our cabin that backs up to the elevators.
