We just returned from a 12 day cruise on the Spirit. We had a balcony cabin 10678 which was 4 cabins down from the exit door to the pool area by H2O Spice. We loved this location as it was a short walk back to the cabin if you forgot anything plus it was quiet. The bar pool closed down at 7 pm each night. The only noise we heard was from our noisy next door neighbors who kept their television blaring on high until midnight each night, and then got up in the morning and started talking loudly around 7 am. Hopefully, you will have more considerate neighbors.
