Equinox cabin help - help please - forward vs hump larger balconies!

[Travelalot2]

We are 2 couples who have sailed alot on RCCL but are trying Celebrity for the first time. On RCCL we always booked the aft for the larger balconies and are looking for the largest balconies (that are open) on the Equinox as well. Here are our options:

 

Deck 7 - 7286 & 7288 (back of hump) (too close to water or lifeboats?)

 

Deck 9 - 9155 & 9157 (forward part of ship)

 

Deck 9 - 9241 and 9243 (back of hump - CC - is this worth the extra $350 per couple?)

 

Since we've never been on the hump before, it looks like the back of the hump has less wind - any downsides though? Also, interested in anyone who can compare the forward rooms with the larger balconies (9155 & 9157) to cruising on the side of the hump.

 

Thanks!

we had 1243...great cabin, then had to move to 6237 for the next leg..same balcony and no wind on either..but don't do the 7286 ot 7288.. the smokers below party all night( almost, at least it seemed that way and if you have a gal that laughts loud, u are really annoyed) also the deck lights from 5 are very bright..u won't want to leave your door open, not even the curtains..

9155 & 9157 would have bigger balconies. You would have some wind block, but would not be able to see forward or aft completely because they are on the slant. You can also have balcony dividers opened between cabins.
