George, I love the aft facing balconies...But do you suppose that since your
cabin on the Conquest, being a wrap around corner one, was the reason that
the wind whipped around it? That's the only reason that I could think of as
we had no wind what so ever on our aft facing balcony. Just a little soot on
the chairs occasionally.

Weird, we had a large sofa in our stateroom, George....more drawers than we
could use plus the bottom of the sofa opened up into two large roomy
drawers. And our category was less expensive than yours!
