dmccadden Posted January 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We were on liberty of the seas and our balcony had soot on it every day we were in the 2 bedroom aft cabin. Does anyone know if the ie happens on the freedom of the seas. Our cabin would on deck 6 , last time we were on deck 9. Thanks for any insight.

Guinness1000 Posted January 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Only had an aft balcony on HAL and we had soot on the floor of the balcony every morning. Annoying, but other than that we had the best views and the balcony was HUGE. Maybe it's like that on every aft balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted January 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It can happen on any aft cabin but that does not mean it will. We have had aft cabins on Liberty and never had an issue. A lot depends upon the wind conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim,n,Sue Posted January 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We have 2 true aft cabins on the Freedom; once on the 8th deck and the other on the 7th. Never had a speck of soot on either one of our cruises. One was a 7 day and the other a 14 or 15 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustUs275 Posted January 12, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I had read about soot too, but we had none on our 9th deck aft balcony on Freedom. Loved that cabin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted January 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Was on Liberty in Nov. Deck 10 aft cabin and never saw a speck of soot. It must depend on conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted January 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I've had aft cabins on Explorer (deck 10) , Radiance (deck 7) and Enchantment (x2--decks 7 and 8 )and never had an issue. I think it totally depends on conditions. Currently have an aft booked on Freedom (deck 9) for a cruise next year and am looking forward to watching the wake again. I figure if there's soot when I wake up in the morning, the steward will sweep it up/wipe the furniture. But the views and huge balconies are totally worth the risk of some soot, at least in my opinion. I am also doing my first NCL cruise this summer on the Pearl and have an Aft Penthouse suite on deck 9, hoping for some great space and views there too.

You will find out when you are on the cruise, maybe yes, maybe no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancogran Posted January 13, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) We did a Transatlantic on Jewel in an aft cabin (9660) and never saw a speck of soot on our balcony in the two weeks we were on the ship. We did find bits of food on our balcony a few times .... likely tossed or blown from the outdoor Windjammer seating area. Have the same cabin booked for our Scandinavia/Russia cruise in May 2020.

DanieleBelle Posted January 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We had cabin 1700 (deck 10) on Freedom. No soot. Amazing balcony! Even if there were soot it would have been worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max and Ruby Posted January 13, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I was on Indy 9th floor aft balcony and I did get soot from time to time. It was annoying,but nothing I couldn’t deal with. Would not stop me from booking another aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted January 13, 2019 #15 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) We were in an aft cabin on FOTS last March and didn't have any soot. I know others have, but we were lucky. Edited January 13, 2019 by ReneeFLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
