Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – in terms of neighboring cabins, it was very quiet. but there is a lot of noise connected to the room:
--when the ship slows down, there is a very loud shuddering sound which will wake you up at night. once we figured out what it was, it didn't really bother us.
--it's an aft cabin so everything rattles when the ship is swaying or in rough seas. again, once we figured out what the noises were they didn't bother us.
--it's right above the Stardust Theater, so you will hear the rehearsals and shows. it didn't bother us because we weren't in our room while the shows were going on.
--all of that being said, we LOVED this cabin and would take it again in a heartbeat.
Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - yes, but the connecting door is in the entrance hallway so you don't hear any noise from it.
Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – unobstructed aft view, just gorgeous.
Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - normal for aft penthouse
Was wind a problem? - on a few days, when it was windy everywhere. we had some rough weather which cut down on balcony use.
If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - i noticed it on windy days but our cabin steward would sweep/brush the ash off the balcony.
Any specific problems with this cabin? - just the ones noted above.
Any other comments? - we loved this cabin. the balcony fits 2 loungers and a big table and chairs. it's a 2 room suite, and the bathroom has both a separate shower and a jetted tub with shower. there are 2 closet areas and plenty of storage.
