I am booked on the Equinox for next summer in cabin 1670, a C1 class cabin on the Penthouse deck. I was told the C1 cabins this level and the Resort deck directly above have a larger veranda than other concierge class cabins. I have also read that there can be an issue with soot from the smokestacks landing on the verandah, but I believe the comment was regarding Solstice class ships, not specifically Equinox. Can anyone comment on this and on why the aft cabins are considered more desirable? Thanks in advance for any input regarding Equinox.
