Hi Again,
I've had cabins next to stairways and elevators and have never had a problem with noise....the rooms are, for the most part, pretty soundproof.
If the ship is full, the ship is full....I prefer an inside room while in Alaska...you do get a better sleep...and for the viewing, that's what the rest of the ship is for...Leaning on the railing is the best way to view Alaska....Bring warm clothing...and dress in layers...and have an extra cream puff for me...I will be up there at the end of August...
Bob E
