Quiet Very quiet as there are staterooms above and below. As to be expected, there is noise from the wake when the balcony door is open, but very little noise when the door is closed. There is also some white noise hum of machinery when the door is open, but it is not obtrusive since the wake is louder.
Balcony Size Average. Comes with 2 chairs that partially recline and one small plastic table. No ottomans.
View Unobstructed wake view
Privacy Issues None. The balcony is very private as it is fully covered.
Wind Very little to none
Soot None
Problems This room is one room away from the galley vents on the back center of the ship. When out on the balcony, I did notice the faint smell of garbage during most of the trip. My partner was not aware that this was a known issue of the room and did not notice the smell at all. This did not stop me from using the balcony, but I would have probably spent more time out there had there been no odor. Additionally, the bathroom had a faint urine smell that would never go away, even with extra cleanings. I hope that Princess addresses that when the ship goes into dry dock this month.
Comments The view of the wake was really spectacular and hypnotic and the privacy was superb. So for me, the positives outweighed the smell of the vents. We booked a future cruise for the holidays, this time securing one of the corner aft balcony rooms on the Ruby (sister ship to the Caribbean). Hopefully being several rooms away from the vents will take care of the odor problem.
