What is it like having a room directly across from the stairs/elevators?

Hey all... I've booked a spa balcony on the Escape in June and wondering if anyone has had a room at the opening to the stairs/elevators? Hopefully it won't be too noisy?

We went on the Escape in Feb booking a spa balcony on the 15th deck right in the opening to the stairs/elevator. Absolutely loved it with no issues noise wise at all. We are going again, same room only on the opposite of ship, end of May.

Looking at the deck plans now that you have told us the cabin number, you are EXACTLY in the area we were in on breakaway with regards to the opening to the elevator/stair area. As I said in my previous post, rooms near the elevator are generally not an issue because the wall blocks everything. But in your case, nothing blocks anything and I stand by my saying it is a very, very, very band location! Good luck!

 

 

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm in room 15154, directly at the opening, with sun deck above and rooms below.

I do stay up rather late so noise in the morning may be of more concern for me.

Were you on the port or starboard side in Feb?

I think it's going to be just fine as I really won't spend much time in the cabin. Plan on using the spa a lot and so many activities to take advantage of as well as making a donation in the casino [emoji13]

We were on the starboard side in Feb (15754) and at the end of May in the exact same cabin port side.

We purposely seek out cabins as close to the stairs/elevators as possible.

We've never had a noise issue.

I absolutely hate walking up and down those long, skinny corridors.

I agree.

No sense in walking to the end of the road.110919corridorREV2-1024x753.jpg

Something ODD about that 2nd photo - absence of cabin steward service carts including the cabin steward and traffic in the passageway !

And the lack of room service dishes and the alike - what's happening here ?

Lights Camera Quiet on the Set ACTION - I said ACTION - must be a staged event !

The passageway is way TOO short - where is the infinity view 3 soccer/football field in depth !

Where was that photo taken doesn't look like a cruise ship passageway - looks the a posh corridor in a 6 star hotel -

handrails added for the drunks to navigate to their quarters and no fish swimming in the carpet !

 

OK cut me some slack here - Ah er this isn't the Comedy Critic Forum - as for that photo what magnificent

ship was that taken on - certainly not the good ship lollipop !

our cabins of choice: as mentioned, never get lost even if you had one too many, never have to walk a mile to use the elevators or stairs and absolutely no noise. I hear noise from other things but not from the location being too close to the elevators. Just off the BA, we were right there and loved it.

I think I'm going to love the location as well! The trek up and down the narrow long hallways I will not miss [emoji51]

My only suggestion is do not get a room on deck 8 aft any where near Bliss.

We were in an aft facing balcony last year on 8. Not our first choice but we were bumped out due to a longer Dawn dry dock.

Wow. That was loud music all night thumping under our bed. From about 11pm-3 am.

Elevators near by would have been a joy. [emoji15]

In a week we'll be back in 10230 and it's perfect! So excited.

We always select one near the elevators as I'm just plain lazy at walking down long corridors when we're taking off our own luggage. However we use the deck plan wisely to avoid being near the teen club where they like to congregate on the stairs and to avoid what's above and below.

I am going to find out. In October 2018. Booked a BA balcony 11612 on the Dawn. Right in front of the mid stairs and elevator. Wanted the larger balcony. It can't be worse than the forward ocean view we had last time. The smashing of the waves hitting the side of the ship was deafening. Hated that cabin. Hope this cabin isn't bad. 14 night cruise.
