smsmiley Posted August 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Has anyone stayed in the mini suite with large balcony? We were in a mid ship mini on Breakaway and are trying to decide if we should go for the same category on Getaway. Is there a noise issue since these cabins are right above the theater? If you have been in one of those rooms, how did you like it? Thanks! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baffy Posted September 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2013 We are just off the Breakaway mini suite with large balcony. Cabin 8724. Great cabin, no noise issues what so ever. We were usually in bed by 11_ midnight. Loved the cabin. My only issue was the coach where the 3rd person slept. So incredibly hard, impossible to sleep on. luckily we had a great cabin steward and he brought in an extra mattress to put on top of the couch. If anyone have any specific questions ask away!

smsmiley Posted September 24, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for your comments! Glad you enjoyed your cruise! We are booked on the Getaway in the exact same room we had on the Breakaway this past June, a mid ship mini suite, for now. Maybe we will consider the large balcony possibility.

mommyto2girls Posted September 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Glad you had a good cruise Was the bed next to the balcony or the closet? Booked an M6 for my daughter and trying to figure out if the configurations on the deck plan are accurate. Also did the balcony have lounge chairs? Thanks!

We were in 8724 the bed was next to the balcony. When we got into the room we had 2 lounge chairs and 2 regular chairs with a tiny table. We asked our cabin Stewart to bring in an extra lounge chair and he did no problem. Sent from my SGH-T989D using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-T989D using Forums mobile app Hi. We are in 8722 next week. Who was your cabin steward? There have been a number of negative reviews about the cabin steward that services a group of cabins on that side in that area. I am hoping his assigned group of cabins ended before my cabin, and your comment suggests that it might, which would make me very happy. Did you have/ask for chaise lounges for your balcony? Any problem? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandhoppingfool Posted September 24, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 24, 2013 We had 8716 and 8720. Both of these cabins had the bed by the balcony. Absolutely loved it. Bathroom alone is great. (shower is double the size) and double sinks.....and balcony is 107sq.ft as opposed to 38sq.ft. Absolute heaven. One third on the balcony has an overhang for privacy and the other 2/3rds is visible to the cabins above you. Ps....we had Anthony also. He was wonderful.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bm1234 Posted October 15, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 15, 2013 We just got back yesterday from the Breakaway trip to Bermuda. We were in M6 cabin 8118, just about as far forward as it gets. Plenty of room, especially in the bathroom. We were almost directly below where the bridge overhangs. There were no problems with noise from the theater. About the only thing we heard was the whoosh from nearby toilets, and you would get that anywhere on the ship. There was some noticeable rolling, especially on the way back when we were doing 21 knots, but that was the same everywhere. No noticeable pitching, but the seas were only 5 feet. MiniSuites do not get any Suite perks. Overall a very nice trip, Good food, good cabin steward (Leo). We had a ball on the Segways!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markn06074 Posted October 15, 2013 #20 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I am sailing on the Breakaway 12/1 in a mid-ship mini suite but unsure of balcony size. can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondofife Posted October 18, 2013 #21 Share Posted October 18, 2013 This photo is great for comparing balcony sizes on the Breakaway - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markn06074 Posted October 18, 2013 #22 Share Posted October 18, 2013 This photo is great for comparing balcony sizes on the Breakaway - YES, it is thanks! After doing some research and counting my pennies - I am trying to upgrade to a Spa Suite in The Haven. The balconies appear tiny on the mid ship mini suites. Cost a little steep right now but I expect it to drop some as we approach sail date of 12/1. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceylan Posted October 22, 2013 #23 Share Posted October 22, 2013 We are booked in 8728 on the 11/24 sailing. There will be 4 of us. Any thoughts on how tight it will be? Also, how much should I tip for room service or if I ask for a lounger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasinoCruzGirl Posted October 22, 2013 #24 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm also in 8728 in March please let me know how it is and post pictures. Thanks in advance and have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
