We cruised in August in 11524 - a starboard deluxe family verandah. I really loved Deck 11 and the access to food and the pool deck. It was very quiet, and we felt no motion (although we were lucky to have incredibly calm seas for our cruise). I think the best/worst part was how many ice cream cones I picked up since we walked by it heading back to the cabin so much!
I happened to film the walk from our cabin out to the deck on our last morning to show my parents. We walk out the doors directly to the deck, but you can also briefly see the stairwell/elevator access, which has doors out to the deck also.
