LOL ! I was on deck 11 twice, and liked it for that reason. Actually, being on deck 11 felt like being on a private ship. Very small area, early bird coffee, observation lounge empty almost all day was like having my own living room. Very private area overlooking the pool with couch and loungers . Servers would come up during the day if they saw you sitting out there ( they always did), and nice spot for people watching. Of course, everyone has their own preferences. This was mine, on the Ovation & Encore. However, where ever you wind up, you’ll have a great cruise !
