Thanks for the advice! We have two staterooms to upgrade, as we’re bringing our 18 year old and her friend. I don’t feel comfortable leaving them 6 decks below us. This area on deck 8 has the only midship balcony rooms available. Looking at the deck plans, it appears we’d be directly under the lido restaurant, where there are only tables, but I am afraid of the carts and nightclub noise traveling. Ugh, decisions, decisions!
