Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates
Deck 6 where accommodation overlaps vertically
Start with cabin sections on Deck 6
Compare a central room with cabins immediately above and below, away from lifts, stairs, connecting doors and service access. Check the exact three-deck footprint; category colour alone does not identify a quiet room.
Why we flag this
The ship-specific colour plans show substantial accommodation on Decks 5, 6 and 7. This is a layout-based starting point, not measured sound data or a guarantee of quiet. Check the source plan.
Deck 7 below occupied areas of Deck 8
Check Deck 7 beneath Atlantic Deck public spaces
Compare the room with dining rooms, the galley, lounges and public circulation overhead. Ask about early preparation and operating hours where the footprints overlap.
Why we flag this
The official Deck 8 plan shows dining, a substantial galley and forward public/entertainment spaces above portions of Deck 7 accommodation. The caution applies to specific overlaps, not every room on the deck. Check the source plan.
