SeeA tour of room 7246 on the Independance of the Seas May 2016.
The room is located close to the the forward lifts on starboard side of deck 7, we experienced absolutely no noise from the lifts and I would recommend this location.
The room was generally very good and the attendant was extremely good, the only very slight niggle was that we were at the end of her list so as early risers when we came back to the room it often hadn't been done yet but someone has to be last I guess.
The seal on the sliding door wasn't great (common to all rooms apparently) and on one night with high winds it whistled a lot also when our neighbor had a sneaky fag it was blowing in, after putting up with that for a while but we complained in the end and he stopped doing it. Smoking is not allowed in or near the rooms but you can smoke outside on the port side of deck 4 and deck 11.
But all in all a good room, it compared extremely well to a Junior suite that we had on a previous cruise on this ship in all but size.
