Icon of the Seas Aft cabin query

[topanga49er]

Hi, for those of you that sailed on Icon in an aft cabin or suite, how do you compare to the AFT on Oasis class?  Meaning that w O class, the aft balconies get smaller as the decks get higher, and on Icon they seem to do the opposite:

1. do aft balconies appear darker/more shaded on Icon?

2. is there more or less privacy?

 

Thank you.  I know that O class really only has ATS aft, but just trying to understand whether getting a Sunset suite or Sunset Corner suite might be too dark...

Stayed in one on deck 12 on the Inaugural and have one booked on deck 14 for next march.

 

Great balcony, can't compare to Oasis class as this was a regular balcony stateroom while Oasis only has suites.  Balcony was about twice as deep or more than the regular balcony and the best part was the 100% unobstructed views.  Other than the long walk to the elevator they are the best balcony cabins on board without a premium.

Any pics of those cabins and balconies?

Only one and it's not great.

Thank you so much for the picture. We have an aft balcony booked on deck 12 for January 2026.

I was trying to book an aft balcony on deck 14 but they always seemed to be booked.

That balcony looks huge!  Seems though that they are a bit darker bc of overhang.  Wonder if the corner ones or the sunset suites are the same...
