Equinox Room 8343 or Similar

We are planning our first cruise on Celebrity. After much research and looking at deck plans, we are looking to book room 8343 or similar room on deck 9. Those are the last Aft staterooms before the Sunset Veranda Rooms

Can anyone tell me if the view is obstructed at all? When looking straight down from the balcony, is the water view blocked by what appears to be a big blue deck around the bak of the ship?

Anyone stayed in that room or similar? Have any comments - pros/cons?

Greatly appreciate any advise.

Thanks!

We have booked 8344 on 8 th floor .

They are UNobstructed.

By looking at the pic of aft section of ship - they are all CLEAR view

We have stayed in there and don't remember any view obstructions. The left hand wall of the balcony is metal rather than opaque glass. The space is slightly larger than a normal balcony. We have had a standard balcony since though as we didn't think it was worth the extra cost. Very quiet as no passing traffic really.

Can anyone confirm if 8343 stateroom has a Bigger square balcony as illustrated on Celebrity website floorplan. Ship is 10 years old and I am unable to find pictures of this specific room & balcony anywhere.
