I noticed you took the guaranteed cabin option. If you do that they give you your cabin at the end before you board and you get the cabin’s nobody wanted. They are unusually in spots that would be noisy like under the pool deck, next to the elevators etc. If you chose your cabin in better spots yourself you will be happier with your location. If you do some internet research on the subject of choosing your own cabin you can get really helpful tips.
