Largest AFT VB Zuiderdam

Are the AFT VB balconies larger on the Verandah Deck 5?

Thank you.

Yes and you also have privacy from above. The AFT VB's on Deck 5 are our favorites.

A lot depends on the class of ships.  Balconies on Deck 5 aft decks on Vista-class, except Noordam, are fully covered.

I love aft cabins and prefer a higher deck for easier access to the Lido.  Have booked cabin 8141 & 8143 on the Zuiderdam for a Panama Canal cruise in 2022. We wanted 2 rooms next to each other so we could open the partition on the deck.  Is that still possible?  Any problem with soot or exhaust?  Anyone know the size of the balcony, if it is covered, or any other issues.  Thank you

We were on Westerdam in an aft VB on deck 5 a few years ago...so the balconies are comparable.  Ours had two loungers and a small table, plus two regular chairs.  Almost fully covered (except at the very edge near the railing) allowed us to use the balcony regardless of the weather.  Neither my husband or I are sun worshippers so having the shade made this balcony even more enjoyable.  Here are a few pictures - as I mentioned, this was a few years ago (2015) so it is likely that the deck furniture has been upgraded:
