The 16 4D balcony cabins are spread over decks 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12; Deck 12 has the most (6). By position along the ship, 15 forward · 1 midship. By side, 10 port · 6 starboard.
Midship cabins (6% of this category) sit closest to the ship's pivot point, where motion is gentlest in a swell; forward cabins feel the most.
On the deck plans, 7 of these 16 cabins have no public space directly above or below. 9 sit below public space and 6 sit above public space — potential noise, so check the deck above and below before you book.
Measured on the deck plans, footprints in this category range from 90% to 688% of the ship's average balcony cabin, so the cabin number matters.
Deck 12 is the highest deck with 4D cabins and Deck 7 the lowest.
