On Princess our room was right next to the elevator & if noise is what you are worried about, it was not a problem at all for us. In fact, we found it very convenient to be next to the elevator. On Summet we were in 7200 all the way at the back of the ship & on more than 1 occasion when we reached the elevator husband remembered something he had left in the cabin so it was all the way back down the hall to fetch it.
