NCL Escape - Help Me Choose

[utwofan]

We have had aft balconies on several cruises and have had severe problems with soot on the chairs, loungers, tables, and deck. The last one was on the Escape. Even having them cleaned daily never solved the problem and ended up with grease on clothing and feet. Even sitting on cushions that had been cleaned you could still end up with spots on clothing or skin. We absolutely loved the space and views but the soot issue was too distracting from any enjoyment. We mentioned this to the hotel director during a staff meet & greet and he acted like nobody had ever had that problem before. I rarely see anyone else mentioning it as an issue they have encountered. I have attached a photo from one of our cruises (not the Escape but same issue).

I'd take deck 8 and avoid the aft, being honest I find I hardly use the balcony and my husband sits a short time out there so it's easier to not walk that far - being honest
