For the “Official linked booklet · reviewed October 2026” plan, start with these quieter-location candidates: Midship Decks 7–8, away from lifts and connecting doors: Compare a suite with accommodation directly above and below. These decks offer a starting point between the lower public areas and the upper pool deck. 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 “Official linked booklet · reviewed October 2026” plan, review these flagged locations before booking: Deck 9 beneath occupied Deck 10 areas: Compare the room with the pool, pool bar, Mistral and sun deck overhead. Setup, moving loungers and public-area activity can matter to light sleepers. Deck 6 accommodation above occupied areas of Deck 5: Match the suite’s footprint to the Beach House, pool, Living Room, Humidor and public routes below. Verify the exact overlap and likely activity hours before booking. 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.
