Elevator noise ?

[Dreamakermom]

If you get a cabin by the elevators, can you tell me if they are loud and if you hear them opening and shutting all day and night??? I am trying to narrow down a possible cabin and thinking for the absolute best ( and trying to avoid obviously, the worst) cabin possible! :o

We had a cabin right near the elevator (Cabin 5150 on Westerdam) last year. We heard no noise whatsoever and actually found the the cabin position to be very convenient.

We were directly across the hall from 4 elevators for a 30-day cruise aboard the Rotterdam in March and never heard a sound.

HAL ships are very well insulated to keep you hearing any noise from the elevators.

Nope...on most ships, they are in their own foyer!

Fabulous!!!! I will try to request one near the elevator then. Although my DIL just called and said they were already booked for a 4 person cabin with a balcony (we only need 3 person) for next June's 14 day cruise. This may change EVERYTHING!!!! :eek: What are the chances of a cabin becoming available??? Does anyone know?

I used to avoid those rooms out of fear. Three cruises ago, it was the only room available in my category. Absolutely no problem or no issue:)

 

We never heard a peep. I think you would be fine:)

Usually, there are hallways separating the elevators from the cabins.

We usually book close by as DH has some walking issues -- we have

never been botheresd by any noise. Look at the deck plans -- if there

is some "white space" across from you cabin -- that is usually an

access area for the crew. You might encounter some noise there.

Since your cruise is for next year --- you can change cabins or

book additiional if available at this point. Even if you have put a deposit down -- the cabin can be changed.

 

3 in a cabin with 1 bathroom --- may be more of a challenge than

possible elevator noise, IMO.

We actually try to get rooms close to the elevators on most cruise lines and have never had a problem with noise. They are great locations if you want to limit the amount of walking.

The most quiet cabin I've ever had on a ship was right by the elevators.

Which ship?

My husband and I were on Nieuw Amsterdam this past March. Had a spa room on deck eleven. I found the "ding" sound from the elevator very annoying especially late at night and early morning. I do tend to be a light sleeper though. Perhaps something to consider....

We have a cabin right the outside elevator on the Oosterdam (5100), will we hear any sounds from it.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

We never had a problem near a elevator

Noise from the elevator is usually not the issue, although I could hear the 'ding' when it arrived. It was similar to the 'ding dong' before an announcement...just not as loud. However, noise from people getting off the elevators can be a problem. EM

[Which ship?

 

The MS Amsterdam ( I always want to sing that song when I say this name... Amster-Amster-dam, dam, dam....:eek:) Sorry, I had to throw that in there for humor... long day here!;)

[teemsum]

I was in 7042 on the Westerdam that fronted the elevator lobby.

 

I could hear the dinging of the elevator & also it was noisy as people passed the cabin to go down the corridor.

We always get a cabin directly next to the glass elevators. There are many elevators coming and going, you might hear an occasional ring when it stops on your floor.

 

Nothing to be concerned about, having the elevators nearby is a great convenience.
