Our cabin was 6544 just forward of the forward elevators on the starboard side. Our cabin was directly above the doors to the promenade on deck 5. If I was on the veranda, I could hear the motor of the automatic doors opening below me, but not enough to bother me, and inside the cabin it was very quiet. We liked being close to the elevators without being right beside the opening to our hall. Look at the placards beside each elevator so you get on the one you want for the deck you want to get to. All of them go to deck 11, but only two of them will go to deck 14.
