Rare gdlamberth Posted June 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It appears from the deck plans that 7009 (and forward) suites have a larger balcony. is this the case and can anyone describe how much bigger it is? Especially in 7009 where it looks like the "extra" space might be beveled off. Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in 7009 where it looks like the "extra" space might be beveled off.Thanks, Greg AS J&S mentioned there are several posts regarding the extended balconies. There are a few pictures.. *The 1st of the forward balconies have a bevel, the 1st aft extended balconies do not have the bevel. The extended size can accommodate 2 lounge chairs. In the case of 7009 there would be slightly less room. You ask the room attendant to deliver the loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck.qc Posted June 14, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks for the photo and links. Sorry for picking a scab. Greg Greg, Some posts do give off a condescending tone....certainly no harm intended:( I stayed in 7111 (1st extended balcony aft) loved it! I posted pics a while back, hope you found them on your 'Search' can't seem to attach them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foward superstructure makes for a wind break as the 4 cabins in front create an air baffel to any wind burble. You will feel like being on the bridge .. just add a pilorus and feel at home.

JimandStan Posted June 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What is it ? Brian When something is beveled, it is cut or finished "at a slant" to a referenced plane. As is the case with the shape of the veranda in question. Notice the angle at the left end of the Blue Line in this photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiidan Posted June 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 17, 2013 as a point of reference from the great photos from Jim and Stan, notice the very interesting similiarity to that of the navigation bridge above. Notice too that the bevel is not running from margin to margin of the width of the deck but starts about 25% aft of the foward cabin divider. In my opinion no other cabin enjoys such a position of advantage and view scape. Looking aft from a open and enjoyable space that is wind sheltered. Also being extended out, it is not shaded by cabins from above giving it outstanding sun deck options and one can request a reclining deck chairs that other veranda decks can not accomidate.

I was walking along and met a bevel. The bevel was not level, what a devil. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
