Guests can eat in three places: the Main Restaurant, the tasting-menu Chef's Table and a casual Café Bistro, and the Sun Deck has a heated pool.

Cello Deck accommodation beneath Violin Deck cabins
Shortlist rooms under accommodation, away from the restaurant entrance, stairs and lift. Where the Piano Deck cabin block overlaps, compare rooms above and below rather than assuming the whole deck is cabin-sandwiched.
Why we flag this
The ship-specific maps place accommodation on Piano, Cello and Violin Decks, with the restaurant forward on Cello and a shorter cabin block on Piano. Check the source plan.
Violin Deck below occupied Sun Deck areas
Match the cabin to the walking circuit, seating and pool or whirlpool footprint shown on this ship. Ask about early setup and deck activity if you are a light sleeper.
Why we flag this
The upper accommodation deck sits beneath the Sun Deck. The exact water feature, public layout and room position are visible in the individual diagrams; this is a spatial caution, not a noise report. Check the source plan.
Violin and Cello Deck public-area transitions
Compare distance from the forward lounge/reception or restaurant access, and from the aft Chef's Table. Avoid selecting by cabin category alone when passing traffic matters.
Why we flag this
The maps place the lounge and reception forward on Violin Deck, the restaurant forward on Cello Deck and the Chef's Table aft on Violin Deck. Connecting-room symbols and lift reach vary by ship; consult the map notes. Check the source plan.

For the “Published ship layout - reviewed October 2026” plan, review these flagged locations before booking: Violin Deck below occupied Sun Deck areas: Match the cabin to the walking circuit, seating and pool or whirlpool footprint shown on this ship. Ask about early setup and deck activity if you are a light sleeper. Violin and Cello Deck public-area transitions: Compare distance from the forward lounge/reception or restaurant access, and from the aft Chef's Table.

Find the cabin on the selected plan, then compare the same fore-and-aft position on the deck above and below. Check the full venue footprint, including outdoor seating, stages, service areas and entrances. Nearby activity can be a reason to investigate, but does not by itself prove a cabin is noisy. Use the cabin advice and its sources to distinguish layout cautions from operator warnings.
