jlindemer Posted August 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2014 What ship? I know the Paradise never shows any balcony rooms available. I think it is because the limited amount of rooms with balconies are all suites. Some ships just don't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCharretier Posted August 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Elation does not have balcony category staterooms. If you would like a balcony on elation, you need to book a suite that has a balcony. I hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABrown104 Posted August 23, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I just took a look at the ships stateroom info, and sure enough, they don't have balcony rooms, only suites! So weird, but okay, at least now I know why its not offered!! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommom of 7 Posted August 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think that's the way it is for all Fantasy Class ships. Ecstasy & Sensation have balcony's but really are very small, you can tell they were a after thought. Son had one last year on the Ecstasy & he swears our inside was twice as big.

Carnival_Brides Posted August 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) When the Fantasy class ships were built, balconies weren't a common "thing", they were a luxury--kind of like clickers in todays cars. The ones on Ecstasy and Sensation were an after-thought and were added during an Evolutions of Fun drydock 4 or 5 years ago. There's a blog post about it towards the bottom. http://johnhealdsblog.com/2009/09/23/a-blog-full-of-holes/ Here's some pictures from JH's blog of how they were added--it's kind of cool.

lollylew Posted August 25, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I would be curious to know if Carnival plans to do this with any other Fantasy Class ships? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted August 25, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2014 All Fantasy class ships were built with 26 junior suites on the veranda deck. 8 of those have an obstructed view. Many of the ships now have added extra balcony cabins and or grand suite cabins. The new balcony cabins are still 185 sq ft like the balcony cabin on other ships. They have a balcony hanging on the side of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted August 25, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2014 We stayed in one of these added on balconies on our Ecstasy. We really enjoyed it. It was our first cruise and we didn't know the difference, but now that we have been in many other balconies we can tell you they aren't any different than the ones that are added to the ship when the ship is built.
