My wife and I are booked onto Celebrity Silhouette, our first Celebrity cruise. I am surprising her with a room upgrade so I can't ask her for advice. I am therefore asking the hive mind for advice. I have already upgraded to an S2 sky suite. I am considering spending a little more and getting an s1. Love the corner balcony, and second window in the room. But have some concerns that I cannot find answers to online anywhere. Hopefully someone here can help.
I am thinking of a lower deck for less motion with waves and because I have read that you may get noise from upstairs restaurant on the top floor, but it seems that the rear balconies are sloped to the point of people above and below being able to look up and down and see everyone else. Is this the case? The top floor seems to have a complete overhang, but I think that the lower floors can turn around and see quite easily. If I come out of the shower and want to step out on the balcony, that could he awkward.
I am also concerned about the exhaust from the ship being a constant part of the rear view from the ship. Our last cruise on RC we had a cabin towards the back and half of our view was a steady stream of black smoke. Not the greatest and certainly not something I want to pay extra for.
What are your thoughts on these issues? Worth the upgrade or stick with s2? Opinions and descriptions, please. Thanks all!
Sorry for the long post.
