Jewel of the Seas 8166 or 8666? Pics?

[mspmcpie]

Hello~

I've already booked a guarantee on Jewel of the Seas and got a E1 (8050). I've been looking at other available E1s b/c I've been told I can switch within the category. Does anyone have pics of 8166 or 8666? The balconies look bigger, but how much of it is usable? I would really LOVE to see some pics.

Trying to decide if it would be worth the extra walk...

Thanks for the help!

I would stick with what you've got.

We had 8164 on Brilliance, sister to Jewel. We could hear the music coming up from the deck 6 Colony club, granted we were on the port side where the stage was, you may not hear it as much on the starboard side. I do remember having a good look at the balcony for 8166. It goes right up against the bulk head of the ship, you do not have a view at all aft , only forward . Our neighbours stored their hardshell suitcases there:eek:

 

Sorry don't have any pics.

Thank You!!!

I will really appreciate it! -- I have an idea from what people have said, but seeing it will be so much better.

has this worked? oooh yes, first time doing an attachment ???!!

 

If you look at the second picture the balcony only extends a little and the bulk head crosses diagonally in front of it so as I said earlier I would stick with what you have.

 

The front of the balcony stops short of the bulk head so you can't 'peep' around the corner to aft if you understand what I mean?

We didn't choose our cabin but got it as an OV gty so weren't going to complain about it !!!

Yep- I do see what you mean. I also took a Balcony Guarantee. The drop was $920:eek: -- so I couldn't pass it up. But, I am on the hunt for an E1 balcony that is big enough to put a lounge chair on. Been hoping a forward deck 7 E1 would open, but no luck yet....

Thanks again!
