I can't remember what that verandah was like, as the panel between both verandahs was open the entire 4 night stay. But I like that location, close to the aft elevators/stairs. I didn't notice a ton of foot traffic outside the stateroom but my kids are their own source of loudness.
We booked 8626 for the treasure because I like the location, if the tradeoff is a more "obstructed" view I'll deal with it.
