Wind tunnel effect on Deck 12 aft — bring a jacket

Something about the ship's design creates a wind tunnel on the aft section of Deck 12. Our balcony was unusable on two of five sea days because the wind was genuinely unpleasant — not dangerous, just constant and cold even in the Caribbean. The other three days were perfect and the aft view of the wake is stunning. Inside the cabin everything was great: modern, clean, well-maintained. The bathroom had recently been updated based on the fresh fixtures. Our steward was fantastic and left chocolate on the pillow every night along with the towel animals. If you book aft on Deck 12, just know the wind situation and pack layers for the balcony. The view is worth the occasional gust.
