Diamond Princess-Room Location

[janehowze]

Hello!

This is my first cruise on a Diamond ship and I noted our mni suite in on Deck 7 and right next to a life boat! Is this as bad as it looks? Also is there a web site that tells the best locations for rooms?

Thanks so much!

There are no cabins on deck 7 it is the promenade deck, are you sure you don't mean deck 8 Emerald deck. Those are the only mini suites that have a covered balcony and are considered the best of the lot, all other mini suites are on Dolphin deck and have completely open balconies.
When you say right next to the lifeboats, I will assume then that you are in E710 or E711 which are the front two cabins on either side. You will not even realize that the lifeboat is there, there is a wall between you and the lifeboat and you will have to lean forward to look around the wall. Those are our favorite cabins but on the Sapphire which is identical to the Diamond.
