Deck 6 sections between accommodation on Decks 5 and 7
Compare midship Deck 6 for a quieter starting point
Choose a section with suites above and below, then check distance from lifts and connecting doors. A central position also reduces the extremes of forward or aft motion.
Why we flag this
The official plans show cabin areas on Decks 5–7. The aft part of Deck 5 contains spa and fitness facilities, so this recommendation applies only where the vertical stack is accommodation. Check the source plan.
Odd-numbered suites 501–513
Operator warning: above Club 2
The operator warns of slight noise disturbance from the entertainment programme in suites above Club 2. Light sleepers should compare another position.

How can I check whether a cabin is under a pool, nightclub or theatre?
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.
