Take a look at the link I have in post #289.

That is 9316 on the Breakaway - which is supposed to be the same on the Getaway. In the last few pictures of the balcony you can see the divider. It is solid - but does not go to the ceiling or the floor and it slats off on an angle toward the railing. So you will hear when your neighbors are out on their balconies.

I do still think ours was private - because it was so deep that the neighbor would have had to really make an effort to look around the slanted part of the divider to see where we were seated.

Hi Happy Cruzin,

Thank you for the quick response! That looks like a pretty good divider. :) I am thinking because we are an aft, that if they did smoke, we wouldn't be able to smell it (hopefully).

We are very excited about this cruise!!!

Thanks again!

Hi,

We will be sailing on the Getaway this summer. We booked a Haven Aft-Facing Penthouse with Large Balcony. Since Breakaway is its sister ship, I thought I would post a question here since there is not a lot postings on the Getaway yet.

Our room is 10312, which has a connecting room next to it (10310). We are not booking this room, too. Does anyone know how the balconies are separated? I am assuming there is going to be a divider. Do you know how private it is? I am just worried if we get smokers or loud people next to us, we will unfortunately smell or hear them. I think I have read where you rarely hear them from the inside connecting door, however, the balcony might pose a problem.
