Explorer of the Seas Junior Suite selection - help!

Hi everyone! Going to be sailing on the EOS in December, only my second cruise ever. :) Need cabin selection help!

I've heard that AFT rooms have bigger balconies (though are these "true aft" cabins even though they are on the side of the ship, just in the aft area?). BUT... they are only on Deck 10, which I've heard is a noisy deck since it's below a pretty active deck.

Don't mind if we are near or far from the elevators (our first cruise was on the true aft of the ship and were the farthest from the elevators, just meant more exercise!). Wouldn't want a whole lot of foot traffic past my door, ya know?

Here's what is available. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Deck 10

1346 AFT

1654 AFT

1354 AFT

1650 AFT

1652 AFT

Deck 9

9258 FORWARD

9548 FORWARD

9248 FORWARD

9540 FORWARD

9238 FORWARD

9234 FORWARD

9630 MID SHIP

9634 MID SHIP

9538 MID SHIP

I would go with a deck 10, but I like being only 1 deck from the pool. 9538 may be classed as "midship", but it's really far forward.

I'd go with 1354....it's not connecting, and it's about as "midship" as you're gonna get, if those are the only cabins left.
