Hi we stayed in an atrium cabin, {tr} and it was great!!... We were on deck 7, and we didn't have any problem with the noise...I enjoyed looking out the window to the promenade, there was always something to see, and it was always different, lol...We are going on the Explorer in Nov, and we have again booked an atrium cabin...the are quite roomy for two people with a small sofa and a picture window. If you are thinking of booking this kind of cabin, I say go for it...Just my opinion...Cheryl
