Mardi Gras Cabin Choice Help Please

[mominwestlake]

Hello.  We are invited to a wedding on the Mardi Gras and have an option of booking an 8C category cabin on deck 10 or an 8D category cabin on deck 11.

I have sailed the Mardi Gras before and we were in a cove balcony.  What I didn't like about this ship is how many cabins overlook deck 8 or look into another cabin.  But I can't figure out what cabins to avoid! A cove balcony is not an option so I could use help figure out which 8C or 8D cabins on decks 10 and 11 will avoid the issue.  I also think I read to avoid cabins on the starboard side because of the smoking deck below.  If anyone can help me figure this out, I would appreciate it!

We booked Deck 11 specifically because of the privacy issues you mention.
