We were in an aft cabin on a Scandinavia and Russia cruise a couple of years ago. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Our concierge wiped soot down morning and evening. I didn't notice any on our clothing as they had wiped everything down by the time we were back in cabin each time. I believe we were on the 10th floor (quiet library floor), so can't comment on the 6th. We enjoyed sail out every evening with our drinks and canapes. We had a king, which I'm pretty sure are two twins pushed together, but this wasn't felt in the bed. We've booked aft cabins several times and really enjoy. The only issue for me is how rough the seas are. You'll feel the motion a lot more aft. I won't book aft again going across the Tasmin Sea. It was simply too rough and I was a bit sea sick for two nights. Also going into the Baltic from the North Sea was particularly rough, but just for an overnight so fine the next day. But it was rough coming and going. Aft was lovely in the Mediterranean.
