Benefits of Balcony room location

When I book a cabin, I make sure there is a deck above me, with cabins.

 

Avoid a cabin with a "public area" deck above you.  Chairs moving, etc.

 

I also ALWAYS book aft or as close to aft as possible.  Never had a noise issue, occasionally a soot issue, but very minimal.  Movement - not much at all

We done 7 grand suites and one owner suite on rccl and they were all under pool deck without a issue also a few suites on Hal under pool deck.

My mom and I have done several cruises in balcony cabins together, but since she broke her hip and uses a rollator, we like to be as close to a bank of elevators as possible. Narrow hallways and cleaning carts aren't very accessibility-friendly. We also prefer the aft of the ship and a higher deck because 1) we're easy-going buffet people usually, and for many ships the buffet is located aft and high (Princess), and 2) we actually enjoy feeling some motion from the ship as it rocks us to sleep each night. Safe to say neither of us experience motion sickness! Never really had any noise issues from the elevators or public spaces either.
