Many Spirit post 2022 Refurb questions

[alwalaska]

Hello all.  I am looking to use World Points to upgrade our interior on the Spirit to a balcony.  We have only sailed in interiors on the Spirit and the last time was way back in 2016. I have a bunch of questions.

 

1. Is the depth of the balcony (door to railing) the same on decks 9,10, and 11?
2. Do the 2 person balcony cabins still have a chair/small couch in them?
3. Do you hear more noise through the door of the connecting cabins than you would normally hear through the wall?
4. What types of activities are at Spice H2O and how late do they go?  Is it typically loud enough to be heard in the cabins on deck 10 in the aft area?
5. The deck plans make it look like the Splash club is gone, but when I was trying to do a fake booking to see what balcony cabins were available, the deck plan showed the Splash club and no cabins on that side. Are there balcony cabins going all the way aft on both the port and starboard sides?
6.  Where is the outside smoking area(s)?
7. Which dining room requires long pants vs shorts?
8. I know things change from one sailing to the next, but which main dining room typically opens at 5 instead of 5:30?

 

Thanks all.
