Sailed in January on the Star. Aft facing balcony, not suite, on deck 8. Bliss Lounge on many nights very loud, like you were actually down stairs at the show ! Had to call front desk several times to ask they lower volume. Neighbors also complained. Would not sail book aft facing on deck 8 again. Just to add, we have also been in aft balcony on deck 9, no problems. Aft facing our favorite.
