Queen Elizabeth deck 8 cabins vs lower decks - is there a problem

[stromer]

I just booked a cat BB  balcony on deck 5 and noticed the general categories of classes vs deck and it appears that deck 8 has lower categories than lower decks for the same general location.  For example:

Deck 7 has cat BA near the middle - Deck 8 for the same location has cat BB a lower price 

Decks 5, 6, 7 aft have cat BD  - Deck 8 aft for the same location has cat BE at a lower price 

Does anyone know why deck 8 have generally lower categories of cabins than lower decks. Generally higher decks have higher categories and costs than lower decks.  Is it because of noise of the open deck 9 or overhang of deck 9 or what.

There are openings on deck 8 for my cruise that I can transfer to at lower cost but do not want to if there is a problem.

Thanks for any advice on this, Rick

Deck 8 also has Britannia Club cabins so they're not all cheaper but generally I would check what is above your cabin. 

Being underneath cabins will be quieter than under open deck.

We had a BC on a short cruise, under an area with lots of early morning chair moving. It was really quite noisy, and disturbed us for the first two or three mornings, but after that we became immune. But I can see why the lower deck cabins may be dearer.

One of the things we love about lower balconies is the SILENCE at night, indeed at most times. Well worth whatever we pay for the luxury.
