PCWalton1 Posted August 10, 2012 #76 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We had that cabin on the Jewel to Canada. The balcony is only as deep as a lounge chair but plenty of room for 2. We did hear noise everynight from the lounge below, usually only bass and it stopped by midnight. Not my favorite aft cabin but I would take it again if there were no others. Thanks for the tip. we opted for 8170 instead. The balcony is not as wide as that corner cabin on deck 7 but will probably be quieter. :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had 2 aft cabins to choose from when we booked since we booked so late so that is why we chose 7172. The other cabin was the opposite corner on deck 7 so we flipped a coin.

phantomjww Posted August 12, 2012 #78 Share Posted August 12, 2012 8168 is directly below 9256. Are they the same. Everyone is talking about 1100 and 9256 which look great. Is one deck lower 8168 the same size on Serenade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is one deck lower 8168 the same size on Serenade? The balcony on 8168 is indeed smaller than 9256 and much smaller than 1100...but that is due to the ship as it tapers down to the water. It is still very, very nice!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassamanda Posted August 21, 2012 #83 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We have 9256 on our cruise from Sydney to Honolulu in April next year. Guess we will be having a few cocktail evenings:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_K Posted August 21, 2012 #84 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Personally, I'd take one of the cabins in the middle (1102/9258/etc) over 9256. The 9256 balcony may be slightly larger in total area, but the part of it where it narrows down isn't all that useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9256 balcony may be slightly larger in total area, but the part of it where it narrows down isn't all that useable. Though the usable part is huge! But, what I like most about it is all the light it lets into the cabin through the sliders. It does not feel like a "cave" as in the large but narrow and deep balconies in the middle. But to each their own, as we like the open air feel and some like the sheltered areas. That just leaves my favorite cabin all to myself! ;) :) Edited August 21, 2012 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic!! :D I was wondering if I would hear from you somewhere! Happy you got the package of coupons, and hoping you were able to use a few. The Buy one/get one Alaska Tour Saver saved us SO much money on our trip. Yes we agree Lynn was the best ever! She is so caring and perfect in what she does. Happy to hear you also liked our favorite cabin and that you had a great time on your northbound! :D Hope to sail with you in person someday in the future, Money Lady!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people do not have the opportunity to book that cabin since it is a family cabin. Considering it's location I can't imagine it being no good, it is an aft corner. :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have booked 1600 for our Brilliance cruise in March and can't wait to get there. The cabin is unusual in shape but we love checking out cabins that are a bit different. I keep looking for recent pics but they are really hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanwin Posted September 1, 2012 #93 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I can't wait to see how 1600 is going to work for us ! I am not worried that we will have very little at night when all the beds are being used !! There are 2 teenage boys my sister and my husband !!! We plan to keep the main beds separate and OH and I will use the sofa bed, and the youngest will be sleeping on the rollaway !!!!!.....we are all used to this ' all in one room ' arrangement so that won't be a problem !! I am hoping the aft balcony for us grown-ups will be big enough !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted September 22, 2013 #94 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Resurrecting this message string as I just scored JS 1100 for next year, Vancouver to Hawaii in September 2014. (Thank you Karen for the head's up :D). We had 1602 for the same trip last September and really enjoyed the room and the peace and quiet. Really looking forward to 1100. :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddcan Posted September 22, 2013 #98 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was looking at the picture of the aft of the ship - it appears that all of the balconies above you can look right down onto your balcony, and that even the Windjammer outside deck can look down onto the deck 10 balconies. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC SeaPA Posted September 22, 2013 #99 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We are booked in 8168 on Brilliance, but 1102 opened up, also an aft. Called and rep said all the balconies the same size, even hump! Which should I take? Is noise a factor in 1002- under café? Is it bigger/deeper? Or is 8168 smaller, but no one next to you?

If you look at these pictures that Patti posted a long time ago, 8168 has a wrap around balcony so it is larger than 1102. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
