We stayed in a Sunset Veranda on deck 12 aboard the Edge and our balcony did accumulate a large amount of soot from the smokestack. I don't know if the lower decks have this problem but I would avoid deck 12 based on our experience with the soot.

Thank you so much for this information on doing Istanbul on your own. We are going to follow your advice and take the tram into the main tourist area. I really appreciate you sharing this useful information regarding Istanbul since this will be our first time visiting this city.

Did they have taxis available at the cruise terminal in Istanbul?

Glad you had a great time. We are doing this same cruise on the Reflection in September and I was hoping you could answer a question about the new cruise terminal in Istanbul, Turkey. Is the cruise terminal in Istanbul within walking distance to the city center and most of the tourist sites? Our plan is to tour Istanbul on our own and we were wondering if it is possible to walk to most of the tourist sites from the cruise terminal. Any information you can provide regarding this would be greatly appreciated as this will be our first time visiting Istanbul, Turkey.
