on our 1st cruise. The noise wasn't a problem, but about an hour before each dining time there would a line out into the hall in front of our room with people waiting to iron. Even then it wasn't noisy, but it was like living in a fish tank every time we opened our door - at least it felt like everyone was peering in, and my then 9 y.o. GrD went screeching into the bathroom when she though someone saw her in her undies. LOL.
