Yes, they were sometimes. It especially hit me after around my 30th time going up to the Normandy's landing bay. However, I'm just saying that maybe they should've improved the elevator times themselves, rather than -as LazyCloud says- "stare at schematics for the Normandy" over and over again. If they would've made the rides more interesting, and also shorter, it would've been better than a loading screen. See, either way, it's all repetition.
