Gem OS 9504 - What is enclosed balcony and is it part of the Haven

[toyotaford]

A friend decided to join us on the October 12 sailing on the Gem out of NYC and booked 9504. I just opened the email with the contract and it states in red "this cabin has an enclosed balcony". What does that mean? Also, we assumed this was a Haven cabin but forgot to ask. I will call my PCC Monday but figured someone on CC could answer before that. I just love CC.

It has two balconies, one forward (open) and one on the side.

Thanks. I am still a little confused why the bold red statement about the "enclosed" balcony.

The side balcony is sort of enclosed.

I posted on your repeat post. The enclosed balcony means there is some of the metal rail around the edges of the balcony. Some people don't like being in a cabin with an enclosed balcony. It has never bothered me.

 

Yes, that cabin has priviledges to use the Haven.

 

Here are pictures of the front balcony and the side balcony.

Thanks a million for the pictures. Totally answers my question.

This side view screencap from another video tour might help explain what they mean :):

 

 

Look around the 2:52 mark

My daughter and I stayed in that cabin last summer for our cruise. I absolutely loved that side balcony! I spent a ton of time out there, including each morning with my cup of coffee.

 

It's not located in the Haven but you've got access to it. They'll love it!

We stayed in this cabin in 2011, it is a great cabin, and it does have Haven access.

I didn't realize I had done that. Is there a way to get rid of the other thread?
