"The Grand Suites with a Balcony located on Deck 6 are directly above a series of shops, restaurants, and bars. Due to the heavy traffic on Deck 5, Grand Suites with a Balcony located on Deck 6 may experience increased levels of noise during busy hours.
The ship’s pool deck is located directly above the Grand Suites with a Balcony on Deck 14. This may also result in higher levels of noise, especially from the suite’s balcony."

"When booking the Grand Suite with a Balcony for the family with kids on Symphony of the Seas, keep in mind that there is only one bathroom.
If you need privacy, I suggest you book two Grand Suites next to each other or combination of Junior Suite + stateroom with balcony.
Combined, Grand Suite with a Balcony and ocean view stateroom with a balcony can accommodate up to 8 people. In this scenario cruise vacation became more affordable.
Combinations of Grand Suites + stateroom with balcony next door sell out of the market first."
