Thoughts on Emerald PH suite R410?

[JoRoy218]

Tried to get one of the aft PH suites, but all gone! There is one left, R410. Anyone stay on that deck in a PH Suite? How is the balcony? Did a search but could not find a review. Thanks very much!

I don't have an answer, but following. We're in R409 on an upcoming cruise on Emerald.

Am mainly concerned about the balcony, it looks like it’s probably a lot smaller than the aft penthouse suites I’ve looked at. We were recently on the Regal and their notoriously tiny balconies. We just spent minimal time out there, so uncomfortable.

Also wondering about probable noise from Lido deck above. Are you on the California coastal cruise by any chance?

The balcony in this type of suite is as wide as the cabin, but not very deep.  See photo attached.

Thank you! Answered my question.

Interesting!

We are on sister  ship,, Ruby Princess in R410 penthouse

We dont like aft suites no matter how large the balcony

We don't like looking backwards

We've been on other ships on this deck and there was minimal noise from the lido

Occasional chair scraping is all we've heard
