For the “Published layout · reviewed October 2026” plan, start with these quieter-location candidates: Deck 7 midship, away from lifts and connecting doors: Compare a central cabin with accommodation immediately above and below. This avoids the direct pool-deck relationship of Deck 8 and the lower public-venue relationship of Deck 6. Compare the exact cabin with the decks above and below, nearby lifts and connecting doors. These are layout-based suggestions, not a guarantee of quiet.

For the “Published layout · reviewed October 2026” plan, review these flagged locations before booking: Deck 8 below occupied areas of Deck 9: Compare the exact room with the pool, pool bar, Windows Café, outdoor seating and spa/fitness footprint above. Early setup and moving furniture may be relevant to light sleepers. Deck 6 accommodation above occupied Deck 5 areas: Match the cabin footprint to the lounge, dining, shops and public access routes on Deck 5. An early sleeper should check actual overlap and venue hours before choosing. These flags are not measured noise reports or a warning about every room on a deck. Read the sourced cabin advice for the evidence and any explicit operator warnings.

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.
