Carnival spirit newbie just a few questions

[taffy62]

Going to the Pacific Islands in October I'm so exited just been given my cabin number as I booked 5 weeks ago for a guaranteed inside cabin and was expecting riviera deck 1.

I have been allocated cabin 7109.

I can see that the bridge is above us but..

What is the grey area outside my cabin on deck 7?

I have always been mid ship on past cruises will it be noisy here with the waves and will I feel a lot more movement?

I have read I may hear anchor noise but that won't worry me as I will be awake anyway.

Are there any pros and cons for this cabin?

I wish to book the restaurant and I have heard that carnival don't hold shows every night so one of those nights may be best do you know when shows are not on?

Otherwise if I book early for when we leaving one of the islands will I still have time for a leisurely dinner and make the shows?

Thanks :) Yes I'm pretty happy where we have ended up should be fairly quiet as not many cabins pass us so won't have a lot of people walking past just hope our neighbours are quiet :)

And really happy not to be given an interconnecting room as I have heard they can give you one if those.

Have sailed P&O and Princess so can't wait to try out carnival :)
