I have been on 7 carnival ships and have NEVER heard noise from casino,clubs, or dining room. Occasionally if you are in the back on the lower floors on an older ship, you can hear engine noise, but thats it.

Steve is correct, I have never heard any noise from the casino. But if you are concerned, you can look at the deck plans and figure out which floor has the casino and don't choose a deck below or above it. You are more likely to hear music from the piano bar, disco or other entertainment areas then the casino in my opinion. The casino is only loud when I win money on the craps table...

Which ship? And, what type of cabin (inside/outside/balcony/suite)?
If you're asking about Carnival Victory (alluding to your other post asking for its age), we enjoyed Deck 2. We were in an outside cabin just forward of amidships, so it was a short walk to the atrium elevator.
As far as a quiet cabin, try to get one that is not adjoining to its neighbor. We had an adjoining cabin on Carnival Destiny and could hear a lot from the neighboring cabin. We did not have an adjoining cabin on Carnival Victory, and it was very quiet.
18 cruises on 5 different cruiselines and never had a problem with noise from anything except hearing engine noise every so often...you will sleep like a baby anyway.....not to worry....Have a Great Cruise...
For least noise just be sure the decks above and below you are also cabin decks, not activity decks. Also, generally the front of the ship will be quieter than the rear. One exception. If you're on a lower deck near the forward anchors, it can scare you right out of bed when they drop anchor.
I like the Riviera Deck. It is cushioned by the Main Deck from noise on the Lobby Deck and from the showroom. There is much less traffic in the halls b/c it is so far below people do not run back and forth to their cabins as much.
It is a breeze when in port because getting on and off the ship is easy.
The elevators are always empty when they get to the Riviera Deck. No wait.
The noise from the anchor can be heard on the older ships in the very very front but, it did not bother me.
as i see it, there are two ways to guarantee that you are not disturbed by noises while sleeping: a) spend $3 on ear plugs and keep them near the bed, or b) do as was suggested above, and spend $50 on booze
personally, ill be doing both

Hey Ken, Jokers are only good for aces, straights, and flushs. Is there anyone besides my family and myself going on the Triumph, October 13, out of Miami. Sherry

Nope, you have the entire ship to yourself. Have fun!
