BRDLY99 Posted November 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Normally do not book a suite but would like to for a big life milestone. Can anyone provide feedback on the aft suites that are above or below the designated smoking areas. Did you notice a heavy amount of smoke?

Andrew J. Cat Posted November 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I’ve sailed on Royal in the aft cabins. Same basic design as Sky. No smoke, but we had cigarette butts and even some cigarette packs on our balcony every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystabel Posted November 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2023 We were on the Discovery Princess in an aft suite, Starboard side, on Dolphin deck, and a smoking area for crew and passengers was below us on Promenade deck. We could not use our balcony because of all the smoke, which also at times, seeped into the cabin. Aft suites on the Port side of the ship rarely if ever have that problem. A lot depends on if the ship is in motion and how the wind blows. But I would never book the Starboard side again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its port side. YAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not find our experience with the cigarette smoke to be as bad as this (I’m sure this is voyage dependent). We have smelled smoke while outside on the balcony. It has not been bad enough to affect our use of the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you complain, and if so, what was the response from Princess? I have booked the Owner's Suite (E729) for an upcoming cruise and am now second guessing this decision. UGH!
