A beautiful ship; however, our concierge class rooms (5) Aft, deck 12, were extremely noisy. We complained; however, no improvement

Cabin was great - except for the noise

Ship tip

Do not get a room on Deck 12 Aft. Don't expect outstanding food - except if you want to pay in Specialty Restaurants.

Thanks for sharing. A little research on your room location prior to booking would have revealed that it was directly below the pool deck. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.
