Our last cruise on the Fantasy was in 8072, which is by the same elevator block. We didn't notice any increases in noise level. There may have been one or two instances of "hey I noticed that" but nothing constant.
We're in room 8542, which is right off the forward elevators and am nervous about sound (and magnet/FE theft) as well. Would've rebooked to another room but had already rebooked into this room. Didn't want to do it a 3rd time (plus trying to get connecting rooms isn't the easiest to do). Fingers crossed!
