FreestyleNovice Posted April 2, 2015 Author #1428 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Also, the aft balcony picture seems to be deck [..], 12, 13 or 14 [..] on a 2nd guess. Looking at the crane height that aft block is placed on the ship, anxious for the next webcam stills from Meyer Werft! :D Edited April 2, 2015 by FreestyleNovice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted April 2, 2015 Author #1430 Share Posted April 2, 2015 edit; [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/t9tmxj.jpg[/IMG] The aft block on the side consists of 6 decks, that seem to be 10/11/12/13/14/15 or could be 9/10/11/12/13/14. The lowest two have steel dividers so the sideway shot, standing on a aft or even corner balcony can't be taken there. Looking at the middle height crane it seems to be taken around deck 13 height?

NCL did a similar when we booked a H7 forward penthouse on Breakaway for May 2013. They originally advertised that it would have a forward facing balcony (which showed up in early renderings of the ship), but we ended up with a little side balcony instead.

BeachRum Posted April 2, 2015 #1441 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Amen! She's not even complete yet but some are already moaning that their balconies won't be big enough! Good grief! Just get me on the ship!:D Now, if I were really moaning, you would know it. But that's usually from having eaten too much, or other, less publicly-describable cause! ;) I simply used the word "concerned", and only because of my own expectations. Like everyone here, I am watching the build progress with joy and awe and anticipation. In the absence of hard details, I'm trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle together, literally and figuratively. One thing I am anticipating, aside from the overall amazing cruise ahead, is that large aft-facing balcony I have already enjoyed elsewhere. Given that, and the fact that it was described to me as such by NCL personnel, I am not being unreasonable nor am I moaning by gently expressing surprise or concern. It'll be what it'll be; it's all good. Now, to be completely politically incorrect, if the person on the aft-facing balcony next to mine, regardless of its size, is gorgeous and friendly, you'll hear moaning! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is indeed entitled to wonder out loud. Since our stateroom is merely a place to sleep and bathe for us, I guess I overreact when someone is concerned about the size of the balcony on their penthouse.

We have angled balconies booked on 2 Escape cruises. If we suddenly found out the numbering is off and the cabins really aren't angled, we'd be pretty bummed, since we picked them for that specific reason. So I get it.
