jag82177 Posted June 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) We're considering booking an aft mini suite (category ME, deck 8 - somewhere between E715 and E725) on Enchanted. A few questions for anyone who has stayed there, on either Enchanted or a different Royal class ship: 1) Do you hear the noise/feel the bass from the Vista Lounge at night? When does it stop? 2) Does smoke from the smoking area below come up onto the balcony when in port? Is it a problem when you're moving? 3) Is there any protection from the elements on the balcony, or is it fully exposed? 4) Are there significant vibrations from the engines? For those that really like these cabins - any reason why? Edited June 15, 2023 by jag82177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabongi Posted November 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Did you end up getting one of these rooms and have any information to report? I'm looking at the same rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jag82177 Posted November 17, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) We were assigned E723 as part of a mini suite guarantee. A few comments on the room: -You could not hear anything from the Vista Lounge in the room. Even though our sailing was completely sold out, the lounge was relatively quiet most nights, with most of the late-night crowds gathering in the Piazza or Princess Live. -We could not smell any smoke from the smoking area below. -The balcony was fully exposed. It was a bit hot during the day, but really wasn't much of a problem for us. -You could feel some vibrations from the engines, particularly in choppier seas and when the thrusters were on. It took a couple of nights to get used to the feeling but ultimately wasn't that big of a problem. -The location was ideal for getting to any activities in the aft of the ship. The aft elevators were rarely used so it was easy to get to the buffet as well as the Amalfi dining room. It was also nice that Princess Live Cafe was just 1 deck down. We would stop there for coffee every morning (no lines vs. International Cafe), as well as for a regular supply of water bottles -The biggest surprise for us was that the mini-suite was a little bit smaller than what we were expecting. The area with the bed was a normal size, but the sitting area was about a foot narrower than the rest of the room. There were also a couple of columns that shrank the size of the sitting area. When compared with my in-laws' room on deck 16, we did not have a nightstand next to the couch and the extra shelving by the desk was also missing. My parents were in E719 and had a similar configuration to ours. Overall this wasn't a deal-breaker, but something to consider. I hope this helps!
