cruiselovwe Posted November 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I was offered 9878 and 10880. When I look at the deck plan balcony of 9878 seems to be on an angle and very small. Would like to have bed near patio door. A little worried about Deck 9 being right over Waterfront for noise and smoking. Hoping to hear your opinions.

S&S Cruisers 1983 Posted November 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) My brother and his wife were on deck nine over the waterfront and could not leave their balcony door open due to the loud music (some smoke also). We were more forward on deck eleven and had no noise. Hope that helps. Edited November 16, 2013 by Steve and Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie&Jim Posted November 16, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2013 8738 has a very large balcony being on the curve of the ship, and the bed is beside the balcony door. Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie ETA; Did you know this prior to boarding? Yes. This is a "secret" large balcony due to the incorrect deckplans and whatnot. The plans don't show this cabin with an angled balcony, nor 8740, albeit with a smaller angled balcony. 9736 above 8738 similar too.

Bonnie&Jim Posted November 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2013 No, the deck plans show a regular balcony. When we got in there, wowza. Huge. You could sit 8 people out there.

I don't know if the deck plans are the same on each deck, but we are booked in 12880 and we were told the bed is by the balcony. sent from my Samsung galaxy s3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am booked in 8738 on the Getaway. Do you think that the layout would be the same as they are sister ships? Balcony size and bed placement?

I am not sure when you are cruising, but I just figured I'd point out that for our cruise in July, the aft balconies are only $40 per person more than the regular balconies. We just booked a few days ago, 9318, and from what I have read here on CC, the balcony is 158 square feet. Also, the bed is by the balcony. As of the other day, 9818 was still available and is an identical cabin to what we booked. Just sayin' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselovwe Posted January 30, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I was in Cabin 9878 and loved it. No noise or smoke problem, Enjoyed the angled balcony. The bed is not near the balcony like I wanted but it was still great. Loved it so much we have booked our cruise to Bermuda in the same cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
