Normal
I have never stayed near an elevator, but I am going on the Grand this November. I orignally had a cabin on the Baja deck, nyumber 425 (mid ship, inside) right next to an elevator and I asked the same queastion as you. People told me that you will not have a problem, you just hear the elevator talk once in a while saying what deck it is letting people off at. That is, if your door is open. You should be fine. I moved to the Aloha deck, cabin 517 for $20 more because it is a bigger inside cabin so I will not be near the elevator anymore. If it worries you, I am sure there are other cabins avaiable mid ship on the same deck. You should ask.
