Thanks Margo,
That's what I thought might be the problem looking at the deck plan. It's now a hypothetical problem as it seems the Navigator suites are sold out! So I think we will go with a balcony suite, and bear in mind Ngaire's recommendations about location.
We were on the Oceania Insignia in August and had a wonderfully sized Vista suite.However,it was at the very front of the ship on deck 6 and every docking caused incredible noise and vibration that woke us somewhere around 6AM every morning. I really want to sleep in a bit on this cruise (even if it port intensive)so the early morning noise would be an issue.
I will miss the space, though. It's too easy to get used to lots of room.
Thanks again
