We had the same cabin on the port side (maiden T/A 2013 and found our balcony nearly unusable due to the daily build up of soot.....

If you are considering an aft facing cabin, I suggest you ask specifically about that in a new thread because they were (are?) subjected to rains of soot on their balconies. I hope it has gotten better since we sailed in D727 (I think that was the cabin number - it was the owner's suite on the starboard side of Dolphin deck) in December 2013. The lovely balcony was unusable for 5/7s of the trip and previous passengers had tracked soot into the cabin and stained the carpeting (on a 6 month old ship at the time!).
We do like the other aspects of the Royal. We sailed on her for 20 days in a mini-suite under the SkyView Bar and will be on her again this fall for 25 days in another mini-suite.
WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS! This is our first cruise and in Baha 711 to Alaska in Sept. We paid extra for Balcony so we could have fresh air on ship. But Exhaust will make me sea sick for sure! Is a suite in the 500's going to be better / For Balcony and motion sickness? Our agent is say those are too close to the Middle Elevators and more noise? I feel stuck! Any suggestions, we were wanting to move as my Mom and other relative are now in the 500 of the same deck (Baha) and we are 711 is it far and the soot on the balcony, now really has me concerned! We can walk and have no mobility issues.
