Other than stern cabins and #6135,6136,6143, and 6144, what other balcony cabins are desirable for location,quiet and balcony size? Looking to book friends on same ship! Also, what about #8045,8046,9043 and 9044? Anyone have any insight for me? Thanks
DId you post on cruise a ddicts? look for my input there. I would say if you are looking for value, get a 2c penthouse deck forward. I think we were in 6027. It was quiet-- and we found handy-- despite the fact it looks like it isnt. The deck was great-
This is a personal thought, but the 9XXX staterooms are right below the public areas. There is a chance that you may hear noise from above. We were in 8088 and did not hear anything from other staterooms. Just people letting their doors slam. That's the human side, not the ship's fault.
We were on the 9th floor (9086) and while the stateroom was great, you could hear people running above on the 10th deck (mostly at night and it sounded like kids). Also, there is a large overhang on the balcony as the 10th deck juts out over the water. Would definitely recommend going down to the 8th deck.
We were in #8042 on Millenium; great cabin, great location, no noise even though it was close to stairs and elevator. It was in a small alcove. Gail and Harry
