HazelButtercup Posted August 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I know this has been asked in other threads but I still can't definitively find a photo of the half metal railing on the balconies of cabins in V1 V2. Does anyone have any photos of one of those railings (photo taken inside the room) of Seabourn Quest V1 or v2? If you do have a photo, would you please post and tell me the room number. Do you know how high the metal railing is? Thanks! Edited August 2, 2015 by HazelButtercup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted August 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The metal railing is 80 cm high from the floor. Then there is glass and a wooden handrail. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid that the metal railing would somehow block the view or the like but it was just perfect and the cabin was very quiet with very little movement. I attached a few photos. Hope this helps for decision making ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on the Quest next April in a V2 and have similar concerns about the metal railing blocking the view, but really wanted to get as close to mid as possible and this is the only option within our budget. Much as I would like all glass I expect that the barrier should not be a significant issue. When sitting at the table we will still be able to see over the rail. Since we will be in Northern Europe the weather is likely to be crummy anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the weather isn't warm enough there will always be enough booze on board to keep you warm ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising kirby Posted August 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have been in a V2 and a V5 cabin, and I had no problems at all with the part metal railing in the V2. We spent 20 days in the Med in the V2 and I had been concerned about my view being blocked, as we spend a lot of time on our balcony. I am "vertically challenged" (!) and had no issue at all seeing the view from inside the cabin, or sitting on the balcony. I love the all glass balcony, but would have no hesitation to book another V2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SailingNomads Posted August 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2015 We have been in V2, V3, V4, and V5 on the O-class ships (there was No such thing on the little sisters...). IMO none were bad suites, and we had no issues with the mesh rails. Can see just fine from inside or on the veranda in a V2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamin_June Posted October 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would go so far as to say I prefer the V1/V2 arrangement. The structure provides a handy metal shelf, convenient for placing binoculars, books, what have yous, and for use as an extra foot rest. The metal part offers a bit more privacy and modesty when dockside, and finally, it creates welcome shade in, for example, tropical waters, if you dont want to get your feet and shins burned.

Corony Posted October 20, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2016 We've had both deck 5 and also upper decks and the only time I can remember it making any difference is if you were trying to look out through the veranda at the view from inside the room. Not looking to open up the guarantee suite debate again but we go that route strictly because we aren't prone to motion sickness. Honestly can't say we've ever had a major issue with the fact we are on deck 5 vs other locations. And no we don't buy that expecting upgrades but if we get one it's strictly a bonus.

bradtarga34 Posted October 20, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I missed the full view whilst laying in bed gazing out and also whilst sitting in the balcony, and it seems to make it feel smaller than it is, I wouldn't have one again... :( Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
