Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates

  • Deck 6 where cabins overlap on Decks 5 and 7

    Compare central Deck 6 accommodation

    Start with a room that has accommodation immediately above and below, away from lift lobbies, stairs, connecting doors and service access.

    Why we flag this

    The selected ship-specific plan shows accommodation across these decks, with some public or service spaces requiring an exact footprint check. This is a conditional shortlist, not a guarantee of quiet. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 8 below occupied Deck 9 areas

    Check Deck 8 beneath the Lido deck

    Match the exact room to pools, whirlpools, buffet/dining, outdoor seating and wellness footprints above. Ask about hours and early setup where the spaces overlap.

    Why we flag this

    The selected ship diagrams place Lido public areas above portions of the accommodation deck. This flags a vertical relationship, not every room on the deck or a confirmed disturbance report. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 4 above occupied Deck 3 areas

    Check Deck 4 over public venues

    Compare the cabin to entertainment, theatre, dining, bar, gallery and public circulation footprints below. Confirm category-specific view restrictions and any room symbols separately with the operator.

    Why we flag this

    The official plan places major public facilities beneath portions of this accommodation deck and includes the complete category and room-symbol legend in the PDF. This is layout-based advice, not measured noise data. Check the source plan.
