Discovery Aft Corner suites

[dmaikui]

Considering an aft suite (S3) on the Discovery. Wondering if the balconies are private enough to sit out for sunbathing and a meal? It appears on the deck plan that a portion of the balcony is not covered. Any feedback would be most appreciated. Also are the actual cabins smaller than suites not facing aft?

We have an aft corner suite on Dolphin deck. The balcony is huge and partially covered. The cabin appears to be the same size as any penthouse suite we’ve booked, but the bathroom may be a bit larger. Shade on the balcony depends on the position of the sun. We’ve had zero soot on the balcony.

The interior if the cabin is a different layout in the aft PH Suites than the Riviera deck PH Suites on the sides.  I don't think there is a big difference in square footage though.  The aft balconies are all very different.  The Dolphin deck have huge balconies with about 1/3 of the space covered.  The Baja deck aft suites are the next biggest with a little more than 1/2 covered.  The Caribe, Aloha. Marina and Riviera are quite a bit smaller and some havelittle or no cover.

Many balconies are not exactly private but we e never really seen people staring at others while on their balconies, although you will have more privacy than doing the same activities at the pool or in the dining room.

I had an aft facing corner PH suite - Caribe deck on Discovery.  Liked everything about it.

Thank you. Did the balcony have some overhead coverage?
