Midship Deck 6, away from lifts
Compare the sections with suites immediately above and below. This avoids the direct lounge ceiling and pool-deck floor found elsewhere.
Why we flag this
The official plans show accommodation on Decks 5, 6 and the forward/midship portion of Deck 7. Match the exact vertical position; this is a layout-based preference, not a quietness guarantee. Check the source plan.
Aft suites 665–670 on Deck 6
The operator warns of increased background noise during restaurant opening times. Check this before choosing an aft suite for quiet evenings.
