Thanks so much for your advice - I thought everyone over there would be asleep by now! The cabin mentioned is a bit forward of mid deck on Deck 7 (port side). Although the Aussie dollar is looking a little healthier against yours at the moment (and I hope it stays that way), it still hurts in the translation, so hopefully Deck 7 will be OK. Having never cruised before, I'm not sure what is relevant and what isn't but we'll have a great time!
