Bob,
U will notice the boats when looking down from the railing. I was on the Equinox deck six and would book it again. No boats at the side cabins near the forward & stern & on the hump. Goto deckplangenius.com and input your ship & stateroom for pro & cons for that particular cabin. Also go to deck 5 to try to coordinate your cabin w/the boats.
