Cabin location question please

[Vineyard View]

We are looking at an itinerary for next year. We have been given a couple options from our TA. Limited selection. What has been your experience ce in staying in a cabin that looks to literally have the cabins directly behind it? For instance on Encore, 816, 720, 618. I am concerned about noise from the mechanics of the elevator. If it is quiet, then there is no neighbor on one side and that could be a positive….thank you

We’ve stayed before on the Odyssey-class ships in a cabin next to the elevators, and had zero issue with noise or any downside.  If anything, easy access to the elevator was a big positive (and not having a neighbor on one side).  Our next cruise in July we’re booked in one of those cabins.

Stayed right by the elevator no noise I was very happy.

Thank you!  So the cabin location with an entire wall that backs up to elevators and stairs was the one you stayed in and rebooked?  I wasn’t sure that I would get this response. I am glad that I asked, because I initially dismissed it.

I would book that room again .

Yes, happily.

We have stayed at those cabins three or four times on different SB ships and there was no noise at all from the elevators.

Thank you all. I appreciate this information and feedback very much

We didn’t hear anything either!

[Vineyard View]

This is great. Second question please. We may experience some choppy waters on the itinerary and I can be prone to motion. How much movement did you experience this far forward? The cabin is on deck 8. Wondering if a cabin midship on deck 7 will be that different and worth changing categories. Thanks again

[marazul]

It is not that far forward. Pick 720 for a little lower if you wish.

 Deck 8 is my favorite.

Thank you Marazul. I really appreciate this. We were on deck 7 on Quest last year, midship and it was great. So I wasn’t sure.  
Prior to that we sailed 900 pax ships and it is a different movement. 
I think I am convinced!

We were on Deck 8 a few years back and will be again in 2 weeks.
