Forward lift bank, port on Independence of the Seas
Forward lift bank, port is a lift bank on Deck 3 of Independence of the Seas. There are 117 rated staterooms on the same deck. Across that deck we score quiet at 4 and convenience at 9 out of 10.
The forward lift lobby. Independence of the Seas carries four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, so few cabins sit more than half a corridor from one. These are conventional lifts, with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons inside the car.
Worth knowing. The cars are quiet. The lobby is not. A cabin beside one hears doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and at the start and end of a port day.
