Changed my room on Jewel of the Seas - Did I do good or make a mistake?

Originally booked in room 8030 (deluxe balcony), just called and upgraded to 1148 (spacious balcony) for an additional 40sf. Cost $140 (considering it was a free cruise due to points in casino on previous cruise, I didn't really mind that so much).

Now I'm second-guessing my choice.... Any comments? (Upgrading to JS was over $1100!!)

I prefer to have staterooms above and below.

Are you sure of the new cabin number? I can't find 1148.

It's a row of new cabins on deck 11. I see no issues with the location...doubt if noise will be an issue.

New cabins? The only issues with noise I could possibly see is the running deck above us....

Have never been in those cabins myself, I might be concerned with the early morning noise from loungers being dragged around. The Jewel is the only Radiance Class I haven't been on yet.

You will like 1148. Stayed in 1140 last week. We discovered it had obstructed balcony by a window cleaning apparatus and poor balcony design with poor drainage. But, the other 11 balconies were fine. They are newer rooms, of good size, and a perfect location. We heard the running track above just for a few minutes two mornings. It was no big deal. We really liked the Jewel and should we travel on her again we would only choose these Deck 11 rooms (-1140).

Thank you for easing my mind! (I suppose it couldn't be any worse than the kids running around in the cabin above me on my last cruise....) Did you feel any motion being so far up?

The only time I felt motion was one evening on Deck 6 in the Casino when it was a bit rough.
