Deck 1 cabins on Vista ships

We are thinking of booking the 2025 Voyage of the Vikings, 18 days from Rotterdam to Boston - a great itinerary. However, the pricing is way higher than similar length voyages on HAL. Oh well!. We have always cruised in verandah  cabins, but because we wouldn't use the balcony much because of the expected cold weather and to save some money (almost $5K for the two of us), we are considering ocean view cabins. They are all either obstructed view (right behind lifeboats) on deck 4 or on non-obstructed on deck 1. My concern with the deck one cabins is that deck 2 has bars, casino, dining rooms, theater, etc. and that there would be a lot of noise.

Has anyone stayed on deck one in a Vista class ship? How was it?

If you book aft of the mid-ship elevators, you shouldn't be under any areas that are noisy at night. 
the last few cabins forward of mid-ship are quiet, too.
