Midship Deck 2 between cabin decks
Compare a central room with accommodation above and below, then check lift, stair and connecting-door positions.
Why we flag this
The official plan shows accommodation on Decks 1–3. A cabin-sandwiched central position is a layout-based shortlist, not proof of quiet. Check the source plan.
Deck 3 below the Main Deck restaurant, lounge and pool
Compare the exact suite with Amphora Restaurant, the lounge, café and pool-deck footprint overhead. Timing and individual position matter.
Why we flag this
The plan places Amphora, the lounge, Yacht Club Café and the pool area on the Main Deck, directly above portions of Deck 3 accommodation. Check the source plan.
Deck 5 suites below Star Deck venues
Before paying for a larger suite, compare its position with Stella Bistro, Veranda / Candles, the fitness center and outdoor areas above. Also consider same-deck spa and bar access.
Why we flag this
The official plan places the Owner’s, Broadmoor and Sea Island suites on the Bridge Deck, with Star Deck public venues above and World Spa / Compass Rose aft on the same deck. Check the source plan.

Timing and individual position matter. Deck 5 suites below Star Deck venues: Before paying for a larger suite, compare its position with Stella Bistro, Veranda / Candles, the fitness center and outdoor areas above. Also consider same-deck spa and bar access. 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.
