WE ARE PUZZLED AS TO WHAT IS DIRECTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE SHIP? IT LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF OBSERVATION DECK BUT WE CAN'T BE SURE.. IT'S DRIVING US CRAZY. PLEASE HELP.:eek::):)

That is the forward observation deck over the bridge. Access doors at the end of the hall, just outside your room.

Thanks so much for the info... do you know if that room is a Bad, Noisy locale??

Have not stayed in the room so cannot speak to that, sorry. Being at the end of the hall you should get very little foot traffic until or unless the other passengers discover the deck (most won't). Other cabins are under you, massage tables over you, so should be quiet. You will probably have a really great view of the bridge activity from your balcony, too. For some that is a plus, for others a minus.

Just to let you all know - our L200 balcony room on the Diamond Princess was a GREAT LOCATION. Would highly recommended this one to all future cruisers - except of course when I want it:D
