Enjoy your suite and your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone who doesn't have their head on sideways today will come through with a valuable answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCThunder Posted August 17 #6 Share Posted August 17 When I had an aft cabin on Enchanted, I found that the soot on the balcony was impacted a great deal by which way the wind was blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalkal Posted August 17 #7 Share Posted August 17 We had aft cabin on deck 11 on enchanted this past July. No soot issues whatsoever but did feel vibration at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I object 2 Posted August 17 #8 Share Posted August 17 We've had corner aft suites on the Regal, Royal and Discovery. Experienced soot on Riviera and Aloha deck suites on those ships, but not on Dolphin deck. The Riviera deck is so convenient to the concierge lounge for a quick cup of coffee or light snack. The Dolphin deck is great for the balcony being in part shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystabel Posted August 17 #9 Share Posted August 17 The lower the deck, the less soot you should have. Your cabin steward will clean up the deck if it’s a problem. YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knbcruisers Posted August 18 #11 Share Posted August 18 We did a 7 day Cali Coastal in March 2023, had aft balcony Riviera 735. We had soot issue on the last night, but we did have very weird weather..some good days others with very heavy fog and mist which would prevent th exhaust from moving away from the ship.

kstrittm Posted August 18 #12 Share Posted August 18 I always stay in a corner aft suite - have cruised on almost all of the royal class ships. I try to stay on the Riviera deck, and soot can sometimes be an issue. I just got off Majestic, and it was worse than other trips. But, as others have said, it really depends on the winds and direction of travel. I’ve stayed on Dolphin deck and there was no soot at all. I suspect that Emerald deck will be fine.
