Stateroom next to elevator/stairs

[stick30]

Planning on our first ever cruise on the Wish. Are there any issues/cons with a stateroom directly adjacent to the elevators/stairs?

The only issue might be some added noise as guests walk by to the elevators. We’ve been close to an elevator bank for all 3 of our DCL cruises and found it very convenient.

Noise. Kids running and jumping on the stairs and then people chatting at the elevator. We were about 3 cabins down from the opening to the 'lobby' area and it was fine. Where there was a wall. So in the deck plan below . . I would avoid 7574 and 7076 which appear to be directly across from the 'landing' of the bottom of the stairs and just go a few cabins away like 7568 or 7070. But you can look up cabin numbers and get reviews above in the yellow section where it says "Stateroom Reports" - 4th one down.

We’ve had staterooms in the similar locations relative to the elevator banks on the Fantasy and on both the Magic and Wonder for 20 out of 23 DCL cruises. Only once did we experience anything objectionable in terms of noise. That was on the first cruise we sailed on the Fantasy, I think it was back in 2016 or so, when a group of pre-teens were playing a game seeing who could jump the farthest down the stairway. After about 15 minutes, we called Guest Services to report the issue, and someone came up and put an end to the mischief. No problems for the rest of that cruise, and no other such incidents on any of our other cruises. We prefer those locations for the convenience, and we have already booked similar stateroom locations for our next 4 cruises.

We love staterooms right at the elevator lobby opening, extra space to maneuver,easy to find room, etc. Haven't experienced extra noise yet. I have planned my next Fantasy one to avoid elevator lobbies with the magical art from Midship Detective agency though as that can cause some extra noise. Not sure where the Uncharted Adventure goes on the Wish though!

This doesn’t appear to be the deck plan for the Wish? Or am I wrong?
