spuds Posted September 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We recently sailed the Riviera and stayed in cabin 7009. Prior to booking this suite I searched and searched to find pictures of the balcony and could not find anything. I could find pictures of the extended balconies at the aft but nothing at the forward (facing aft). If you considering the Riviera and like a nice balcony (like we do) then I would not hesitate to stay in this cabin. The interior room is nice but the balcony is excellent! You can see your neighbours if you are standing or sitting towards the rail but we never found that a problem and if you sit closer towards the door you are in complete privacy. You have a beautiful view towards the aft with very little wind... it was perfect and I would personally choose this over a PH suite (as we love our balcony's when cruising).

Croooser Posted September 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2017 What a coincidence. We board Riviera in a few hours and will be in......7009. Thanks very much for posting. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted September 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Looks like there is more room to move about on this balcony than on the two balconies for the Owners Suite above it. we had the Owners Suite for our last cruise and there was so much heavy furniture we could hardly move! (No complaints about the rest of the suite though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globe_trekkers Posted September 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thanks for the great pictures. My TA said this was the best balcony to get since you have so much room, yet are still able to see a wide view of the ports and scenery. We said May 25 from Venice to Barcelona. Can't wait.

Gail Boertzel Posted September 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thank you so much. We leave on Wednesday and have cabin 7008 which I think is same as yours, just on the other side of the ship. I too spent a lot of time poring over various cabins and hoping I made a good choice. You gave me reassurance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted September 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just curious, can you hear the sounds or feel any vibrations in 7009 or 7008 when the evening show is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we were in the room at that time... we were still out for dinner or in the lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
