Still a current problem in 2024, and I can't find a newer thread.

@twins_to_alaska is absolutely correct about this issue, and I don't know why there are so few complaints on this board, and little awareness to this fact. We sailed on a Solstice class this year ( January 2024), Room 1642, which is aft Starboard, and we had the same issue. A loud whooshing noise from the air intake fan above us rendered the balcony useless. You couldn't hear the water, there was no peaceful quiet outside which is the very reason we want a balcony. It was like having a white noise machine on the balcony. If you enjoy the balcony for watching the sea and listening to the sound of the ship cutting through the water, beware of Aquaclass rooms on Starboard side of the solstice class ship. Not every room has a vent, but its not something you can choose when selecting your room. It may not bother some people, but it negatively impacted our enjoyment of the balcony I can't speak to whether the same issue exists on the port side.
