Hi,
I booked this mini-suite on the Grand and it' s a great cabin, however, we did hear the band practicing for it's nightly show, during the afternoon. We had gone back to the cabin to take a nap, you could hear it, but very faintly. It didn't disturb my nap! I was not in the cabin during any shows in the Vista, so I can't comment on the noise in the evening. By the time I went to bed all was quiet.
I really enjoyed the private, covered balcony, but being at the aft of the ship, it's a very long walk, especially when you are wearing heels.
Have a wonderful cruise!
