5D cabin guide

The 69 5D balcony cabins are spread over decks 6, 7 and 8; Deck 6 has the most (26). By position along the ship, 15 forward · 54 midship. By side, 38 port · 31 starboard.

Midship cabins (78% 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, 43 of these 69 cabins have no public space directly above or below. 26 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 86% to 94% of the ship's average balcony cabin, so the cabin number matters.

Deck 8 is the highest deck with 5D cabins and Deck 6 the lowest.

Best located: midship, no public space above or below

Watch out: public space directly below
