Careful, if you keep diffusing agenda driven posts with facts, it may diffuse the purpose. Despite the posters intent, the facts are that all cruise lines try and save money and food waste is a prime way to do that.
We have stayed on the aft wrap on 6 and next over for family. There is some ambient noise when the band is playing, small muffled but can be heard.Nothing from pool area. Love the wrt wraps as well. The band quits at 11.
First off, I think you mean deck 5 not 6. That is where the HC cabins are. There is a gate from each cabin area to the outer walkway. Only passengers with HC cabins have access to this area. There is two doors from the pool area (they only use the one on the Starboard side) and pool attendant is assigned to check wrist bands at this level. There is also a gate to common areas which supposedly can be opened by cards of HC residents.
HC cabins can get to pool thru the HC bar are or the external walkway. Patios are not noisy. We have stayed in HC on the Vista, Horizon and Panorama on 8 sailings. Absolute home run.
