Creator's Key Takeaways

Probably my least favorite deck on board.

My very favorite recommended decks are decks five, six, and seven.

Deck eight is a no no in my opinion.

I really enjoy the Vista class ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid deck one if you want a quiet location, as it is under the galley and may have noise.

✓Book rooms between lifeboats on deck four for a better view.

✓Choose decks five, six, or seven for less noise from public areas.

✓Avoid deck eight due to noise from fitness center, pool deck, and smoking area.

✓Book near midship elevators for easy access to the kids' club if traveling with children.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Noise from entertainment venues — Avoid cabins directly under Rolling Stone Lounge or Billboard on board; choose decks five, six, or seven.

Motion sickness — Avoid forward cabins on higher decks if sensitive to motion; choose midship cabins on lower decks.

Access to kids' club — Stay near midship elevators for direct access to the kids' club on deck ten mid.
