Family Travel Story Posted March 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I just got my room assignment for my guaranteed balcony on the gem and it says we have an enclosed balcony what exactly does that mean does anyone have photos or a video of an enclosed balcony versus a standard Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Travel Story Posted March 14, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks for the photo. It looks like it could block a lot if sun. I hope it us not too dark. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted March 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We stayed in one on the Gem and it was okay, although I prefer a regular balcony. It wasn't as windy and seemed a little more private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreativ' Gal Posted March 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It looks like there is only glass on the bottom half of the enclosed balc, is that correct? (you can pop your head out the top?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted March 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2015 .... From outside (the difference between an in-hull balcony and a regular balcony on top of each other on the left): This is my photo that I have previously posted to show this very thing, always making it clear that I took it. While I do appreciate your helping the OP here (and you saved me the trouble of posting my own photo), it's a really good idea when you post someone else's photo to credit them. Thank you.

Sure, should have said that I searched for the relevant pics with Google image search, was actually thinking about that earlier today because any linked picture on the internet can dissappear at any time.

Demonyte Posted March 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Sounds like we have a clear case of copyright infringement here, shame on you Demonyte![emoji33] lol Never claimed those were my pictures nor copied them anywhere, just linked to originals - original posters are free to take them down or rename them when ever they want and the pics dissappear from the post too because links will break. And yes, usually I say in a footnote that the linked pics were found via image search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshagan Posted March 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Depending on the itinerary an enclosed balcony or "hull balcony" can be a benefit. They are cooler in hot areas and more protected in cold areas and a bit warmer. And they seem really private. We have had them a couple of times and on the Epic we had one forward with a HUGE balcony ... it seemed like it was 8 or 10 feet deep. We did notice that one made the room a bit darker than a regular balcony (it didn't have a glass portion below the rail, it was metal, so you had a "porthole" kind of experience.)

kcwingwalker Posted March 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We stayed in one on the Gem and it was okay, although I prefer a regular balcony. It wasn't as windy and seemed a little more private. We had one on the Jewel with our OS and had the same experience. Definitely prefer a regular balcony.
