deck plan 6 cabins information: forward are positioned 12 service boats (lifeboats, 6 on each side) extending out from the Promenaded Deck 5 below. Aft are positioned another 6 lifeboats (3 on each side) also extending out from deck 5. These boats partially obstruct the view (only when looking straight down from the cabin veranda). This issue affects the balconies on the following staterooms: from 6224 to 6136 (portside) and from 6624 to 6536 (starboard) – both groups located forward, and also from 6282 to 6328 (portside) and from 6682 to 6728 (starboard) – both groups located aft. Forward staterooms are located above the ship’s Theater (show lounge), so noise during rehearsals or the evening stage shows could be an issue.
