ncat Posted January 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just back from 1st cruise on Oasis - had a balcony room overlooking the Boardwalk which was fantastic but, what was that black stuff all over the balcony & table - we thought it was just soot but was it something a bit more disgusting??!! :eek: Anyone know for sure!?

leadvocal Posted January 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2010 There is a thread explaining the soot "issue" here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1129088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauderdalebob Posted January 28, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2010 So, I just read through the entire link about the "ash" and it doesn't sound great. Hopefully they can get this corrected sooner rather than later. I know I'd be ticked off if I shelled out for one of the expensive suites and then couldn't use it due to "ash" (or whatever) all over the balcony. Let's only hope!

Older Party Posted January 28, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Whatever is causing the problem, I am sure they are working hard to correct it. I don't think it would be reason enough to cancel a cruise however. There was quite a bit of it while I was aboard and as I stated earlier, I put my scarf to my nose and mouth just so I wasn't inhaling it, but honestly? If it were any sort of bad pollutant, people would be getting sick and NO ONE, not even a crew member, has gotten sick from it. Aside from getting your clothing a bit dirty, it is most certainly benign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayou cruiser Posted January 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just back from 1st cruise on Oasis - had a balcony room overlooking the Boardwalk which was fantastic but, what was that black stuff all over the balcony & table - we thought it was just soot but was it something a bit more disgusting??!! :eek: Anyone know for sure!? May I ask which cabin you were in? I have the last balcony on deck 10 booked for our upcoming cruise and wondered if soot would be an issue.
