Tee Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi. I’m looking to book an accessible balcony room (10562) for our 2025 cruise. I learned this type of room only available near the stairs/elevators for convenience purpose but I have never stayed in a cabin near the stairs before and is concern of the noise. Anyone has experience with cabins in similar location (on other RCL ships) that you can share and possibly help me before we put down the deposit? Thank you so much!

mom2mybugs Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 We are in a non accessible room right near the elevator (11560) on harmony tomorrow and can let you know. I’m not at all worried…people noise down the narrow halls and tripping over room service trays is way worse than noise by the elevators.

DoomSlayer Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 What Ship? We usually prefer and request rooms by the elevators and have not had any problems with noise or anything once the door is closed. So, thumbs up on a room by the elevator from me. mom2mybugs and Tee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike n Ky Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Never an issue for us being near the elevators and because we like the convenience and position on the ship the next three are booked near elevators.

WAYNO Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I book as close to elevators as possible. Never has noise been an issue. Tee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda R Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I mostly book near elevators. Never a noise issue. I would not worry about it. Enjoy you cruise! Tee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 As close as possible to the elevator, never had a problem with noise, who wants to walk a mile to the elevators anyway. Tee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogillioville Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 We always try to get near the elevators. One negative that we have found (and it’s really not that big of a deal) is the elevator area near the entrances to Central Park are sometimes quite warm and humid.

ChessE4 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 They are fine, but if you want to force yourself to get some exercise, try amidship between elevators. We did that recently on the Allure and got a lot of extra exercise, even when we rode the elevator up from dinner or the promenade.

I’m sure you won’t have a problem being by the elevator on Icon, but none of us can vouch for it yet. Have fun on the trip! Tee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're far more likely to have noticeable noise bleed from venues above and below your cabin (restaurants, the pool deck, music venues) than from guests in the hall near the elevators. The elevator adjacent cabins are usually viewed as prime locations! Tee and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebayou Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I like being near the stairs/elevator. I’ve never had a problem with the noise. Even near the midship stairs on Adventure OTS. Tee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our son is disabled thus we requested the accessible cabin, with the Icon ship they place all accessible rooms around the stairs/elevators area so I was a bit concern of the foot traffic. Thanks though! BowTieBrigade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
