Terrible never again. Soot was all over the ship from the engine stack. People complaining they couldn’t sit on their balcony. People who are. Not wearing shoes their feet became black . The lounge chairs were dirty

Was on the same sailing, though we did not use the any pool, never heard complaints it was closed especisllydue to soot. We mostly hung out at the (covered) mid-ship pool, which was never very busy even on our rainy day.

Funny how people can be on the same ship/date and not have the negative experience. We had a balcony starboard side and had no problem with soot. Must have been location on that particular sailing. Sorry it was not a good cruise for you.

Not the first ship that had soot issues, and likely not the last. Too bad they could not be bothered to write a review, just mostly random ratings and rantings.
