Tips on cabins with issues

The ship's noisiest cabins are:

• aft on Deck 15 (balconies, numbers A702, A704 A706 A708, A710, A712, A714, A716) are located below Sunset Bar's smoking area. In the early morning, people going outside to smoke often drag deckchairs across the deck.
• aft on Deck 10 (interior cabins, numbers E714-E717, E722-E725, E730-E733) are located aft and reportedly have vibration issues.
• on Deck 8 (balconies, numbers G201 through G225) are located above Headliners Theatre, so hearing music during the evening shows (running until ~11.30 pm) could be an issue.

Smoking on the ship is allowed only at designated outdoor deck areas and strictly forbidden anywhere indoors (including staterooms and cabin balconies). Some cabins are located directly above such an area, so cigarette smoke could be an issue (depending on the winds). Such cabins are Balconies are on:
