Nieuw Amsterdam

[maeverett]

Sorry if this is not the place to post this but I can't find this info.  I'm looking at an Aft balcony room on the Nieuw Amsterdam on Deck 8. Deck 8 is just below the pool deck.  Going to Alaska so I'm thinking there will not be an issue with pool go-ers but I'm wondering about the foot traffic of those who are there to take in the views.  How is the noise in those aft rooms?  Your thoughts on Deck 8 vs Deck 5.... Thanks

I was just in 8152 port side aft directly under Lido. While in the cabin in the morning and at night we did hear the scraping of tables and chairs being moved. It wasn’t horrible and except 1 night it was over in less than 5 minutes. 
 

While on the balcony we could here the naturalist point out wildlife that was nice, but no other noise or conversations. 
 

We loved the location, quick step up for drinks at the Sea View bar or snacks at the Lido Market.
