We have cruised on the Dream (sister ship) on deck 1. I loved it because of the quick access from the gangway to our cabin. also some cabins have 2 bathrooms (one with toilet/sink and a shower and one with sink/bathtub ) it worked great for our family because we get ready for the evening in half the time.  

What if you don't use some of the services that is included in the direct tipping? for example, we don't use the main dining room at all. Why would I then tip for a service that I didn't use?

Tipping shouldn't pay for the salaries, cruise lines should. Tipping is an appreciation of a service received not a granted right simply because you are on board and they have access to your credit card information.
