Hard face palmWe've been on 8 cruises and all but one have been right by the elevators. The only time we had any issue with noise due to the specific location was when we were between the elevator and the kids' clubs on the Fantasy--not a problem at night, but there was a LOT of traffic there during the day. The worst noise though was the time when parents were supervising races in the hallway really late at night! What were they thinking? That had nothing to do with the elevator.
