Aft balconies?

[mom23guys]

We are thinking of booking an aft suite on Rotterdam. Are the balconies bigger? They appear to be on the deck plans. Any problem with them?

There will be those who disagree with me, but on my aft SC suite on Westerdam, I had issues with soot.

We were on the last cruise on the Eurodam in March 2020 and had aft 7143, We loved it. Never had any problems other then people smoking on the balconies. I will always look for aft cabins. I measured our balcony and it was 8 1/2 feet deep by 8 ft wide.

Our last cruise was on the Koningsdam in 8188.  The balcony, compared to other Veranda cabins we’ve had, was definitely larger.  We loved the aft view and will definitely consider such a cabin again.  The only negatives we found with this cabin were (1) sometimes we felt some engine vibration (but not bad at all on the navigation deck) and (2) being at the very rear of the boat, we had longer walks to get to other areas of the ship (and again not necessarily bad considering the extra food we ate during the cruise).

We loved an after balcony, despite a tad soot. Balcony was bigger.
